Chalet Arolla, Meribel & Mottaret, France

Méribel 1600. A 2 minute chauffeured minibus ride from the Morel chairlift or 3 minutes from the centre of Méribel.

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 area ranks as one of the most sought-after in the resort, for its magnificent views and proximity to the slopes. For evenings exploring, Méribel’s shops and bars are just a short chauffeured minibus ride away.

Sleeping 10 guests in five individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, the chalet blends traditional Alpine style with modern accents to stunning effect. Spread across three floors with plenty of cosy corners for the family to escape to, Arolla is spacious yet intimate, with stylish soft furnishings and exposed wooden beams making it a wonderfully inviting place to retreat to after a day on the pistes.

The chalet’s bottom floor is devoted to post-ski relaxation, featuring an elegant steam room, massage area and doors leading outside to the alluring sunken hot tub, which commands splendid views of the Tougnète side of the valley. 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 and well-stocked bar, in a convivial open-plan layout. All eyes are drawn to the striking suspended fireplace, where a crackling log fire beckons you to curl up with a slice of homemade cake or glass of champagne. 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.

Blessed with an enviable range of facilities and peaceful location, Chalet Arolla is a charming luxury home-from-home you’ll never want to leave.

A skiing holiday isn’t just about skiing – and we never forget how important your holiday is to you. That’s why we do everything we can to ensure you have a hassle-free holiday with everything just the way you want it.

Eating has always been a memorable experience, akin to eating in a top quality restaurant.

We truly aim to deliver the best food in the Alps and succeed in this - we were the overall winners of The Times Chalet Chef 2010 award and so our food has been independently rated as the best in the Alps, but our standards have improved hugely even since then and our reputation in the ski chalet industry is unparalleled. As a result, we are able to attract extraordinary chefs, passionate about food and about delighting you!

Beautiful food deserves only the finest wine, which is why our wine list is composed by the acclaimed Master of Wine and owner of Savage Selection wines, Mark Savage. Mark brings interesting, small production wines to the table, all deeply characteristic of their origin and beautifully paired with our food. What better way to end a fantastic day on the slopes?
