Chalet La Pousse Caillou, Meribel & Mottaret, France

Our beautiful Chalet Le Pousse Caillou sits centrally on a large plot in the Mussillon area of Méribel. It is in an area of large exclusive chalets but still only a five minute walk from the town centre if you decide on a relaxed stroll into Méribel. The chalet is on the same small road as our very popular Chalet Phoebe and Chalet Amarena so works really well if you have larger groups wanting to holiday close to each other. Le Pousse Caillou epitomises a luxurious yet traditional alpine escape. All interior fixtures and fittings are of high quality and combine contemporary features with warm traditional chalet interiors. Lots of beautiful wood has been used in this sophisticated property.

Arranged over three floors, Le Pousse Caillou instantly provides guests with a home from home feel with really high quality fittings and finish. The chalet boasts a separate TV room on the ground floor that provides the ideal hideaway for some downtime after a fun-filled day on the slopes. There is a comfortable open plan living/dining area furnished with Ligne Roset. An open plan kitchen leads off from this area

To truly unwind, take a dip in the chalet’s outdoor sunken hot tub, accessed through the sliding terrace doors. Pousse Caillou is set back in a large plot with a spacious front drive in the Mussillon region of Méribel, the chalet sits perfectly overlooking the beautiful mountain backdrop.

Food

We are passionate about food and drink. The menus served in our chalets reflect this and we think would be best described as delicious, imaginative and freshly produced. Our resort manager and head chef Ken, will soon be busy training up all the chefs on a variety of wonderful dishes. Here's a quick taster of what to expect:

• At breakfast, look out for yoghurt and freshly made compote along with various cooked options.
• Mouthwatering cakes for afternoon tea or perhaps you would like to sample a charcuterie platter instead with breads and pickles.
• For canapés, Yakitori salmon skewers with hot and sour cucumber or maybe pressed game terrine with homemade carrot chutney.
• A sample dinner menu might consist of a Mediterranean vegetable tart with pistou followed by braised shoulder and seared rump of lamb accompanied by creamed spinach, mash and an olive jus. Followed by poached pears, crumble, ice cream, poaching syrup and of course a selection of both interesting and regional cheeses.

Wine

Our wines are all carefully selected and chosen to compliment the food we serve. Your chalet host will reccommend wines at the start of each meal, however we understand wine is subjective and if you have a favourite! We are delighted to continue to be working with the Languedoc winemaker Paul Boyer. Many of our returning guests will now be very familiar with his superb wines.
