The Rhone / French Alps / Savoie region

Winter
Snow sure from December to end of April, Méribel is central to the whole of The Three valleys, which now also includes a 4th Valley, Orelle, adjacent to Val Thorens. Les Trois Vallées is the largest linked ski area in the world with over 600kms of well groomed pistes and over 200 linked lifts. Two board parks are easy to access where many competitions take place. After years of skiing here we never get tired and still find new places.

Summer
There are many activities in the area ranging from the extreme sports of river rafting, mountain biking & canyoning, rock climbing etc. Or take lovely long walks through the woods or to remote mountain refuges.

The Les Trois Vallees / Meribel area

Meribel - Les Allues is linked by gondola and free shuttle bus to the centre of Méribel and is in the heart of the epic Les Trois Vallées ski domain,with 600kms of linked pistes and over 1,400km of terrain on which to ski. This is the largest ski area in the world that is accessed by a single pass. The scale of the place sometimes defies comprehension. The 190 lifts can carry an amazing 260,000 people per hour,so hardly any queues,even peak season.It's an intermediate paradise,with two thirds of the runs as blue or red.There are also lots of nursery slopes and some debutant greens. 12% of the pistes are black,with some stomach lurching Couloirs and off piste powder. Snowboarders are in paradise too, with 4 snow parks and half pipes. Plus for cross country skiers/ski du fond, there are masses of beautiful trails to really enjoy the scenery. Or, and if you are a non skier, try snow shoe walking,husky sledd riding, sledging on dedicated long runs and snow mobiles. Relax in one of the spas, the swimming pool,ice skate, go bowling or rock climbing wall. Meribel also hosts many international ice hockey games and ski championships.

Summer: apart from long sunny days, walks and looking at the scenery, you can stay in remote mountain refuges, plus a host of exciting sporting activities ranging from golf, tennis, horse riding, mountain biking, river rafting, canoeing, canyoning, an Adventure Park for kids of all ages,or more gentle activites such as swimming in crystal clear lakes and lovely mountain walks.and much more.

Non skiers. many things to do and see. The new Olympic centre has a large indoor pool with mountain views, a Spa, bowling Alley & Ice Rink.
You can also snow shoe walk, take walks through the woods on prepared paths,with a guide if you wish, husky sledge riding, paragliding & ballooning....... or just enjoy lunch in the sun on the top of the mountains.
or more gentle activities such as swimming in crystal clear lakes and lovely mountain walks.

Sunday times review 19th Nov'07:
A welcome trend in the Alps is the colonisation of lower altitude and more characterful mountain villages that missed the first round of ski resort developments, Les Allues is such a place: a few hairpins down from Méribel, it's a small rough hewn settlement, and by far the nicest place to stay in the valley. If you want a more laid back holiday, mixing awesome on-piste skiing in the world's largest ski area, with a lazy day or two catching the sun, you'll love it"

“Cosy and spacious chalet comfortably fitting 10+ people and providing a wonderful setting for a great ski holiday!” Superb service from start to finish! We were welcomed in all possible ways not only within the lovely chalet but also through numerous tips and pointers before we arrived making our holiday a total success! Chalet was in immaculate condition with large rooms and plenty of communal space (dining, living room, terrace, etc) but at the same time guaranteeing privacy for all individuals & families within. Shame the chalet isn't a bit closer to Meribel slopes as it's difficult when choosing a suitable winter resort to know exactly how to find the right location in proximity of town and slopes. Should be a little clearer from the outset that the location isn't quite Meribel! Regardless, the quality of the chalet and service received more than compensated for the location. A car is a must! Response: I am really pleased you found Chalet Champêtre suited your group and you were all comfortable. As you say plenty of space for all, but also with areas you can be quiet if you wish. The advantage of not being right in the centre is more space for your money, but you are right,having a car there does make it easier. We always drive to Méribel-Village and park for free right by the fast chair lift to avoid the busier area in the mornings of the centre of Méribel. That way you get the best of all worlds. I hope to be able to welcome you back again,especially now you know your way around. Mary

“A very spacious and well appointed Chalet” Having been to the three valleys for many years now, this has been the best experiance that we have had when staying in and around Meribel. The Chalet is very spacious, and well appointed and has a great open fire to relax in front of after a good days skiing. Even though there are buses in the village we found the best way of reacing the slopes was to drive to Meribel Village were there was free parking, which was very close to the chair lift, this was a small sacrifice to pay as the the Chalet made up for this small inconvience as all the other properties we have stayed in have been ski in and out but are much smaller. We all very much look forward to returning again soon. Response: As you are skiers who know Les Trois Vallées and Méribel well, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay in our pretty village of Les Allues and were comfortable in Chalet Champêtre and enjoyed your week. An advantage of staying in one of the 'satellite' villages linked to the centre, is more space for the money. Plus we are quieter at night, but with the buses operating now until 0030, still able to 'party' or dine in different restaurants in the centre of Méribel in the evening, if you choose. I look forward to welcoming you back summer or winter. Mary

“Top class self catering accommodation.” Have stayed in both the apartments and the Chalet Champêtre house and really enjoyed it on both occasions. The units have everything (cable television, wifi Internet, etc.) required for a lovely stay. Meribel is a world class skiing resort with more prepared pistes than I've managed to ski in 15 days! Response: Thank you very much for your review. Well.... there are a lot more runs to experience and hopefully you will be back. I've skied in Les Trois Vallées for over 20 years and last week found 2 new runs in Meribel. Not the new couloir,( I can only watch that in sheer amazment!), but the newly found runs are nice blues through the trees! best regards, Mary

“Lovely chalet, well appointed and great location” Ten of us from three families stayed as a group in the Chalet Champetre in June. The setting is great, with mountain views from the chalet balcony and the rear bedroom windows, and located only a few minutes walk from the village centre. The chalet living/dining area is spacious and very comfortable - we had plenty of room to sit comfortably around the dining table and later to relax on cosy sofas and play board games, watch films or listen to music. Everything was provided - no going out to buy a corkscrew or do without a wine glass and lots of films, music and games for evening entertainment. There are even a set of kitchen scales and plenty of pans and casserole dishes if you really want to spend time cooking in the kitchen. The robes, towels and liquid soap provided in bedrooms / bathrooms were of good quality and added to the convenience of the place. There was always plenty of hot water and the chalet was easy to warm on the one cold day that we had. Some of the bedrooms are not overly large and the upstairs bureau room has a low sloping ceiling, but if you're worried you can easily check these before you book. We found that, as the rest of the chalet was spacious, this did not matter. Families with young children will need to take extra care as there are open stairs, balconies and lots of white sheepskin rugs and attractive cushions. During our visit (early June) the only downside was shopping - there is a small village store which opened mornings only and is quite limited and expensive. The nearest supermarket is a long, windy drive to the bottom of the valley. We would be happy to return if future plans allow and are grateful to Mary who took our booking, answered our emails promptly and sent us lots of useful tips and information. She even gave us a ring when we arrived to make sure we were happily settled in. It felt like we were renting the chalet from a friend. Response: Thank you very much for your lovely and detailed review.It will be helpful for others trying to find the right holiday home for themselves. Very good point about the open staircase and the 2 upstairs bedrooms. The bedroom pictures are on my web site and following your review I now have one of the lounge showing the staircase. I'm delighted you had a good time. Nathalie's shop in the village has just expanded, so is better stocked, so hopefully no need to drive down the mountain to Moutiers. Mind you the Super U there is cheaper, so maybe worth the 15 minute drive. Best regards, Mary.

“Lovely place” Lovely chalet, v spacious and well fitted out. Plenty of options for getting to the ski runs (we drove to Meribel Village and had free parking there). Les Allues is a much more traditional French village than Meribel itself, which we enjoyed. There's a lovely feel to the chalet and v comfortable place. No shortage of bathrooms (which helps when staying with multiple friends/family) and v comfortable bedrooms. Really good ambience in the living areas. The only downsides were a temperamental stovetop cooker and a lack of some minor essentials such as dish-washing liquid. There is an odd system where the owner stocks the chalet fully at the start of the season then expects guests to replace whatever runs out - bit odd in a chalet of this level. However, this is a very minor drawback and we would highly recommend the place to anyone. Response: I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and felt at home. I have now placed some instructions for the hob operation in the chalet, as that may help, so thank you for letting me know.

“Excellent stay at traditional alpine chalet” We were 12 friends staying for 1 week, and we all agreed that this was a great chalet for a cozy holiday! The chalet itself is lovely and traditional with very charming wooden decorations, but has all the modern amenities to make the stay completely comfortable. We particularly enjoyed chilling with a glass of wine and a movie on the big screen, while warming our feet by the open fire! The village is very nice, quiet and traditional (not many shops, bars, etc) so it will be perfect for families and/or friends looking for a chilled out holiday...but maybe not the best location for those who want to go out and party in Meribel every night (although this is still easy to do with a Taxi). The ski slopes are easy access - 10 min walk downhill + 10/15 min by bus or gondola. Conveniently, you can leave skis in a rented locker at the centre of the lift station in Chaudanne. For better skiiers there is a run right down to the chalet. The chalet owner was very accomodating, quickly replying to all our enquiries and ensuring we had everything we needed (including pictures of the recent snowfall, which got everyone excited)! Absolutely recommended and going back myself next year with the family.

“A perfect stay in a comfortabel and pleasant chalet” We had a fantastic family holiday in a comfortable chalet. Enough room for everybody and well equipted for a good nightrest and for preparing nice meals. Great skiing possibilities, easy acces to all ski sloops. Response: I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and were comfortable in my Chalet and found it well equipped. As you say, the access to all the slopes easy. It is still snowing heavily in Méribel but as you know from your stay,they are fantastic at keeping the roads and pistes well grooned and open. You will have a very warm welcome back!

“A stunning Chalet, tastefully furnished and equipped to a very high standard” We stayed in Chalet Champetre in February and from the moment I enquired online the service was superb. I was given plenty of helpful information about ski hire, lift passes and flights. Booking couldnt have been easier. When we arrived the Chalet was beautiful and our skis and boots were all ready for us at the Chalet. I loved the fully equipped kitchen and did cook some meals but there are some lovely restaurants locally and even a lady who will deliver cooked meals. Response: Thank you very much for your review.It is always helpful for others. We look forward to welcoming you back. I now have an arrangement to leave your skis at The Chaudanne overnight,so even easier. We have excellent snow falls in The Méribel Valley,so I am sure you will have a great week. Mary

“Don't miss this opportunity to stay and ski here!” We stayed at Chalet Champetre with a group of friends in January 2011; it was our second trip to the chalet and our third trip to Meribel Les Allues. As ever, the snow conditions were fantastic and the opportunities for skiing seem infinite, both in extent and in terms of the challenges they present. It is a great time to be in the Alps, as there are no lift queues and the pistes are uncrowded. There seems no end to the new pistes to be discovered in any given day and it is only a sense of exhaustion and the idea of the delicious food served in the ski huts which interrupts the skiing and the knowledge that one has to get back to the chalet in time for dinner! Whilst we ourselves are devoted skiers, there are clearly plenty of other pursuits available in the valleys for those who prefer passing their time in a more leisurely manner! The chalet is an absolute haven and affords every conceivable comfort; it is extremely cosy, and the decor mirrors the beautiful alpine views afforded from most of the windows. The bathrooms and kitchen are more than adequately equipped for a luxurious stay and a quick stop at one of the supermarkets makes shopping and cooking together part of the fun of the holiday. Whilst the unspoilt and authentic atmosphere of Les Allues means one can have a break from the kitchen with a quick evening stroll down to the village, we have had some memorable groumet dinners in and around Les Allues courtesy of the owners' recommendations. I can't wait to go again! Response: Thank you for your review .I am delighted you enjoyed your stay again. You will be pleased to know, that in good time for your next visit in January'12 we have fantastic snow here again.

“Spacious, Luxury chalet with all of the comforts of home and wonderful mountain views” This was our second stay at Chalet Chapetre and once again we had a wonderful time with a large group of friends. The living room and open plan kitchen/dining areas are very spacious which is excellent if you are travelling with a large group. Every attention to detail has been made from the provision of dressing gowns and slippers through to the toiletries that you would expect at a five start hotel. Les Allues is such a pretty village and the links to the main ski lifts at Meribel are excellent (regular free busses and a gondola lift which takes you right to Chaudanne). We are looking forward to our next visit to chalet Champetre in January 2012

06 Dec 2011

“Perfect place for skiing and relaxing” Outstanding and traditional style chalet, beautifully furnished in alpine style. Open fires and plenty of natural wood make for a perfect setting for any skiing or summer stay. The chalet is immaculately clean with very modern and stylish facilities. It it also very convenient for the major ski areas and also for some great towns and villages for shopping and dining. The village itself is pretty and historic with two or three really good eateries and local shops. The villa was easy to find and has plenty of space for parking and for all the ski gear. Highly recommended.
