Tucked away in one of the most private yet central parts of Méribel, Chalet Arolla enjoys a quiet location amongst snowy pine forest only 2 minutes' drive from the nearest chairlift.
The nearest slopes will give you easy access to the rest of the Méribel and Les Trois Vallées ski area. Meribel is an excellent choice as it is part of the largest connected ski area in the world, Les Trois Vallées.
Arolla is a spacious yet intimate chalet which sleeps 10 guests in five individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, spread across three floors. The chalet blends traditional Alpine style with modern accents to stunning effect, with stylish soft furnishings and exposed wooden beams.
The chalet's bottom floor is devoted to post-ski relaxation, featuring an elegant steam room, shower and massage area. Doors lead outside to the alluring sunken hot tub on a private tree-fringed terrace. Next-door you'll find the delightful television snug, perfect for keeping little ones entertained.
Arguably the most enchanting part of Arolla, however, is its enormous top floor, comprising a generous dining area, sitting room with a striking suspended fireplace and well-stocked bar, in a convivial open-plan layout. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows let in plenty of light, while glass doors open onto a large, south-facing terrace which soaks up the afternoon sun.
We include: beds made on arrival, fridges stocked*, bath robes and slippers, mid-week and end of stay cleaning, mid-week towel change, local tourist tax, satellite TV, free WIFI access in the chalet & shuttle service to the slopes (maximum 2 trips in the morning and 2 trips in the afternoon).

We will supply you with breakfast every day, afternoon tea and snacks, pre-dinner nibbles, plus a three course dinner on six of the seven nights, which also includes a selection of cheeses, champagne for your first evening, a kir for before dinner, unlimited red and white wine and a few beers.

What's Included?
Your chalet will be ready on arrival - beds made, dinner ready and fridges stocked*, wine-cellars replenished, skis and lift passes all booked. But you won't see us. We'll be at the end of the phone, but there will be no contact, unless you need it. We will visit your chalet mid-week to give it a full clean and change of towels and bed-linen, but this shall be done during the day, whilst you're out on the slopes. You and your family will be safe and looked-after, as we work in the background, providing everything you need.
Our contactless catering service comes with the choice of two pricing options, a fixed menu with food and drink included in the price, and our self catered option which allows you greater flexibility to eat and drink whatever you desire and the cost of the food is on supplement, at cost price, and depending on what produce you choose to order.
For those looking for a simple packaged chalet price, we are offering an all-inclusive price, which includes rental of the chalet and your food and drink for the week. Included will be breakfast, snacks to take with you skiing, afternoon tea and cakes/snacks, pre-dinner nibbles a three course dinner on 6 out of 7 nights, with a selection of after dinner cheeses, plus champagne for your first night, a kir for before dinner and unlimited wine and some beers. We have prepared a delicious menu for the week, with a mix of ready prepared meals from a local delicatessen and easy to cook dishes or sides. All that will be required from you is to pop a few things in the oven and throw together a few ingredients to make a simple salad, or steam a few vegetables as sides to your main meal.
Perhaps you want the freedom to choose your own menus, or perhaps you'd prefer to eat out more than one evening during the week, or you just love to cook yourself and enjoy the holidays where you have time to do this in a relaxed way. That's where our self catering service comes in. As an alternative to the service detailed above, we will also offer a lower rate, which does not include the food and drink for the week and we will give you the opportunity to order the food and drink of your choice, at the local hypermarket rates, and bill you for this afterwards. Four days before arrival, you will receive a comprehensive provisions list with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. That might be oven-ready meals, or the ingredients you'll need for Bolognaise, Soufflés or Cheese Fondues. Dry goods, dairy, fresh fruit and veg, fresh meat or fish, beers, wines, champagne, whatever, all bought for you and stocked in advance.

Our aim is to provide the safest possible environment for a ski holiday, whilst staying as affordable as possible. The new way to holiday will be by enjoying the facilities, food and beverages but without the staff waiting on you hand and foot. That will keep things safe and affordable. However, for those in search of a little more luxury, we are able to provide drivers, chefs, daily cleaning, ski lessons etc, all of which can be discussed at the time of booking or with our concierge service prior to arrival.
**Please note that for the self catered option, all food, drink, ski hire and lift passes come at additional costs and are not included in the chalet price. Provisions will be billed at cost price and can be ordered from the list that will be sent out to you, and ski hire and lift passes can be booked in advance with our preferential rates. For our fixed menu option, the price does not include ski hire and lift passes, but it does include breakfast and afternoon tea for 7 days, plus a 3-course dinner with beer and wine for 6 days.
