Chalet Marielaine, Meribel

Description

Prepare to be spoilt at this luxury ski chalet in Meribel, where every detail has been carefully considered to offer total comfort and relaxation. Chalet Marielaine is a charming stone and timber Savoyard-style chalet with a beautiful mountain backdrop.

This catered chalet is far more than just a base for a luxury ski holiday. You’ll be well looked after by a chalet host and manager, and exceptionally well fed and watered by a private chef; afternoon tea, canapés, four-course dinners and complimentary glasses of personally selected wines come as standard.

The floor plan follows a homely layout, with the three cosy ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, each beautifully furnished with a modern alpine décor. The ground floor is dedicated to a generous open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge. A large feature fireplace provides a focal point around which to gather or curl up with a good book, and on sunny days the double doors can be flung open to the terrace so you can breathe in the fresh mountain air.

Outside, the garden is a lovely space with a covered sunken hot tub and a wooden barrel sauna secluded between the chalet and the slopes.

For larger group ski holidays, Chalet Marielaine can be hired together with sister properties Chalet Brioche and Chalet Mariefleur (subject to availability) to accommodate up to 28 guests.

Location

Chalet Marielaine is situated in an exclusive cul-de-sac in Mussillon, towards the edge of Meribel. It occupies the same building as sister property Chalet Brioche and is next door to Chalet Mariefleur.

The chalet is well located, and guests can reach the town and ski lifts in a 15-minute walk. But the use of an in-resort minibus service (8am to 8pm) to get you to and from the slopes, town centre and après-ski bars means there’s no need to walk anywhere. A local ski bus also runs until midnight for those evenings when you simply lose track of time.

The nearest airports are Chambery, which is approx. 1 hour 20 minutes away, and Lyon and Geneva, both around 2 hours away.

Rooms

Chalet Marielaine sleeps 6 + 2 guests across three bedrooms.

Bedroom 1:
Double bedroom on first floor with en-suite shower room.

Bedroom 2:
Double/twin bedroom on first floor plus mezzanine with double bed and en-suite shower room.

Bedroom 3:
Double/twin bedroom on first floor with en-suite bathroom (please note this room is split level with the bed area accessed by a small staircase).

Eating

The chalet’s private chef will make sure you are well fed and watered from the moment you wake up. Breakfast features the likes of buttery pastries, fresh bread and eggs-to-order, to set you up for your days on the slopes.

When you return from skiing, afternoon tea will be waiting to warm you up.

Come the evenings, sit and relax with an aperitif and canapés as your talented chef prepares a delicious four-course dinner matched with a handpicked selection of wines.

As is common for catered ski chalets, you’ll enjoy this fully catered experience five days out of seven. On the chef’s days off, a continental breakfast will be offered and you will have the opportunity to choose from Meribel’s excellent range of restaurants for dinner.

The chalet’s private chef will prepare children’s tea at 6pm, five nights per week, leaving you free to enjoy more leisurely dinners after their bedtime.
