The dining room, with its long vintage table for 14 guests, sits behind an old farmhouse door and radiates authentic alpine character. Nearby, the open kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals with ease, while a tucked-away bar corner invites guests to toast another day on the slopes.

Also on this level is a laid-back TV lounge with bean bags and a sofa, perfect for movie nights or winding down during a family ski holiday in the Alps.
The wellness amenities make this chalet stand out. After a day on the slopes, soothe tired muscles in the indoor hot tub, set beneath tall windows and opening onto a sunny southwest-facing terrace with gas BBQ and teak furniture. A traditional Scandinavian kota (firepit hut) invites guests to enjoy cosy evenings with mulled wine or marshmallows. For full alpine rejuvenation, head to the six-person sauna nestled in its own Nordic-style cabin, ideal for unwinding in this luxury chalet in Méribel.
