Chalet Silvana, Meribel & Mottaret, France

The Silvana is superb and a much-loved part of our Meribel programme which has proved hugely popular with many of our guests who stay there year after year.

Located in an attractive Alpine building in the Morel area of Meribel, this wonderful first and second-floor split-level duplex apartment offers great accommodation for groups up to 7 people. There are four bedrooms including a much sought-after single room which meaning The Silvana is a rare find for a 7 people. The living room is warm and cosy with a wonderful log fire and doors leading a super balcony.

The English owners have taken real pride in decorating the property to the highest of standards whilst combining Alpine tradition with modern, comfortable furnishings and fittings. It is set in great position in Morel so you can take advantage of the few bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity, including the Petit Oignons with its live music and popular apres-ski spots such as the Ronnie or Folie Douce are just a short ski from home.

Skiing is easily accessible via a flat walk along to the blue slope leading down to the village and Chaudanne or alternatively the local free bus stops outside the chlet. Alternatively, the Morel chairlift which will whisk you directly into the Altiport skiing area is just a short walk away. The main square is about a 15 minute walk away (downhill so slightly more on the way back!) with its many shops, bars and restaurants which this world-famous village has become renowned for... as well as, of course, being at the heart of the Three Valleys ski circuit, arguably the biggest area in the World. You will be warmly welcomed to The Silvana by one of our well-trained chalet hosts who lives out but nearby. See

We offer our properties on a flexible catering basis therefore providing our guests with as much choice as possible when choosing a fully-catered, part-catered or self-catered chalet or apartment. Your preferences will be discussed at the time of booking and a tailor-made itinerary will be costed based on your requirements.

Our chalet hosts all enjoy cooking and take pride in what they serve and whilst they are not necessarily qualified chefs, they have good experience of dinner party cooking and many of them will have attended one of the well-regarded cookery schools with whom we work closely to ensure the highest calibre of staff possible.

If choosing the fully catered or part catered option, you will be assured of good home-cooked food prepared and served by our specially selected chalet hosts. We do not offer luxury items or haute cuisine, we serve good wholesome hearty food fit for anyone after a hard day on the slopes. Menus will be varied and may include local dishes as well as the more traditional UK favourites such as roasts, lasagne or casseroles.

Our menus have been formed over many years taking into account previous guests’ likes and recommendations and whilst we believe this plan to offer excellent variety, there will be the odd occasion when a dish might not be well-received. We would ask you therefore that if you have any specific dietary requirements or a yearning for dishes in particular, you enquire before booking your holiday and provide us with as much notice as possible regarding specific diets such as vegetarian, vegan, celiac or non-dairy etc.
