Chalet Genepi, Meribel

Description

As sunny as it is snowy, this luxury ski chalet in Meribel is a real delight. Traditional Savoyard good looks and an enviable position, facing south over the Meribel Valley makes Chalet Genepi one of the best of its kind. A combination of rustic charm and light-filled rooms are just the ticket for anyone in need of some top-quality relaxation.

Laid out over four floors, Chalet Genepi can accommodate a large party of up to 18, making it ideal for a week-long party with friends or a relaxing break with your entire family. And there’s something here for everyone.

Serious skiers will be out on the slopes within seconds and can ski back to the chalet via the domain in good snow conditions, before jumping in the glorious swimming pool back at the chalet. For those travelling with children, you can relax knowing your little ones are well looked after. Experienced nannies can be arranged to ensure they have the holiday of a lifetime, too, and mini versions of all the hotel luxuries you’d expect – towels, robes, bath goodies – are available to help make tiny visitors feel truly special.

With plenty of space to socialise – reclined on squashy sofas in front of the roaring fires, or standing out on the balconies, drink in hand, taking in the mountain view – this is a great property to share with friends. And yet there are plenty of spaces to find your own peace and quiet, too. From the study, to your own spacious bedroom, which comes with a Jacuzzi bath as standard – of course.

We think the only difficulty you’ll have is choosing your favourite people to share it with.

Eating

You won’t want for anything while staying at Genepi – except perhaps a larger ski jacket…

In the mornings, you can choose from porridge, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit salads and patisserie items, as well as an á la carte cooked breakfast. Once you’ve burned all that off on the slopes, you’ll return to your chalet to find a raft of homemade cakes and bread and jam waiting from you in front of the fire, served alongside tea and coffee or vin chaud to warm you through again.

On five evenings, champagne and canapés are served, and the chef will cook your main meal while you catch up with the rest of your party on the day’s events. Then you’ll sit down together to a gourmet four-course dinner washed down with carefully selected wines.

You will have the opportunity to discuss the menus for the week and any dietary requirements will be taken into consideration. A special early evening tea is available for children.

You’ll have two evenings a week to sample the local restaurants of Meribel and your chalet hosts will be more than happy to make recommendations and bookings.
