The Garden apartment was a total oasis, the attention to detail was amazing the views down the valley were awesome, it was an absolute pleasure to sit on the Balcony and watch the weather over the mountains change while enjoying a breakfast or dinner. We enjoyed staying so much we only ate out one evening.
on a more official basis:
the listing is acurate
facilities and equipment were beyond expectations
property was clean and crisp
we were well looked after by the owner and we would recommend to anyone.
Our break was a summer walking water-sport week
we ate at a local Pizza restaurant which was good in Les allures
for water-sports we used France-raft and their instructors were excellent, though there is a rafting company closer in Moutiers you pass them as you ascend to the Chalet.
We took a trip to Lake Annecy which was excellent for a summer swim paddle board or waterski.
the area of Méribel and the surrounding three valleys are all set up for mountain bike enthusiasts and I can recommend you try this, they even have electric mountain bikes for people like me.
For good value I would recommend doing the weekly lift pass currently at 55 euros which is cheaper that two separate day accesses to the lifts for hiking.
for skiing the village has a system stopping at Les Allures which is the second point on the lift from Brides de le Bain. There is upgrades going on in 2018 to improve this lift system and add to its stops.
there is a free bus service running all over the mountain and I would recommend a trip to the thermal spa in Brides de le Bain to relax after a hard days walking/skiing/swimming.
If you are going to ski from the Chalet I would recommend you get lockers at the lift or up in Méribel to avoid lengthy walks in boots or just drive to the lift or bus and park, the parking seems adequate but this is in summer when its less crowded.
Overall fantastic if the chalet gets a hot tub we won't leave
