Tucked away in the forest and only accessible by ski or foot, this rustic hotel blends alpine comfort with a lively atmosphere - perfect for couples, families and friends alike.
A unique slopeside stay in Méribel
For a Méribel stay with a real sense of being in the mountains, this characterful chalet hotel is hard to beat. Tucked away in the forest at around 1,650 metres, it sits directly on the slopes near the Adret chairlift, giving you the chance to step outside and start skiing almost from the door. Its secluded setting also means you’re surrounded by snow and woodland rather than the usual resort traffic and activity.
Getting there is part of the experience. The hotel isn’t directly accessible by road, so guests reach it across the snow on skis, on foot or by snow shuttle. Once you arrive, the atmosphere is warm, relaxed and distinctly Alpine, with traditional Savoyard character combined with a more playful, contemporary feel.
Ski straight from the door
The location is one of the biggest attractions. Set in the heart of the Three Valleys, the hotel puts you right in the middle of one of the world's largest ski areas, with Méribel’s central position making it a convenient base for exploring the wider domain.
For skiers, there’s something particularly appealing about being able to finish the day on the slopes and arrive back at your accommodation without having to navigate the resort. And when you’re ready for a break, the south-facing terrace provides a sunny spot to pause, take in the mountain views and enjoy the atmosphere.
A cosy alpine atmosphere
Inside, the emphasis is on comfort and character. The accommodation includes a choice of hotel rooms and larger private lodges, making it suitable for different types of ski holiday, from couples looking for a cosy mountain base to families and groups wanting more space. The hotel has twenty-three rooms, with options ranging from traditional rooms to more spacious rooms with balconies and wellness features.
The interiors combine the warmth you’d expect from a traditional mountain chalet with a lively personality. After a day outside, you can settle into the lounge, enjoy the fireplace or simply make the most of the relaxed surroundings.
Food, drinks and mountain views
Food is an important part of the experience, with dining available throughout the day. Breakfast sets you up for skiing, while lunchtime is all about relaxed mountain dining on the terrace, with grilled dishes and local specialities. Later in the day, you can stop for something sweet or a hot chocolate before settling down to a more traditional Savoyard dinner.
Classic dishes such as raclette, fondue and tartiflette feature alongside the restaurant’s own specialities. One of the signature dishes is the escalope with cream and mushrooms, a recipe that has been part of the establishment’s identity for decades.
Even if you’re not staying overnight, the slopeside restaurant makes a tempting stop during a day in the Three Valleys.
Time to unwind
When it’s time to take a break from skiing, there’s also a spa designed for relaxing after a day in the mountains. The wellness facilities provide a quieter change of pace, complementing the hotel’s easy-going Alpine atmosphere.
With its combination of ski-in, ski-out convenience, peaceful mountain surroundings, welcoming interiors, good food and opportunities to unwind, this is a Méribel stay that feels rather different from a conventional resort hotel.
