Chalet La Varappe / Méribel
Description
From the moment you walk into Chalet La Varappe you know that you are somewhere rather special. Originally built by Mr. Pomagalski (founder of the world-leading "Poma" company), much of the chalet interior is clad in the wood cleared when building the lift system in Méribel. The chalet has until now been a private home; we are delighted to have been entrusted with its care and to be able to add it to our portfolio of very exclusive chalets.
A stand-alone chalet with delightful terraces and garden offering a wonderful view of the mountains, the chalet sleeps 10 people in supreme comfort, in 5 lovely bedrooms, each with en-suite bath or shower room. Each room has an individual style and character; making them a delightful place to lay your head. There is an additional attic bedroom which is suitable for 2 or more children. La Varappe is located in the centre of Méribel just a stone's throw from La Petite Pia and a short chauffeur-driven minibus ride from the towns lift centre.
The heart of the chalet is the delightful sitting room, with its beautiful stone fireplace, wonderful artworks and antiques, and decorated with quintessential English charm. Surrounded by such extravagance and refinement, you can't help but feel like a treasured, personal guest. The chalet also offers a very private outdoor, sunken hot tub, a steam room, TV/Games room and, of course, a large ski and boot room. We think you will be absolutely charmed by this wonderful chalet.

LUXURY SKI HOLIDAYS IN MERIBEL
Located in the middle of the Three Valleys - a ski area that boasts to be the largest in the world with over 600 kilometres of pistes - Méribel really does have something for everyone, a great family resort, fun nightlife for those who like to party and about all levels of skiers are catered for. There is a 25m swimming pool, gym, ice rink, cinema and more. Beginner's will find that Méribel is a great place to learn to ski, with a gentle nursery slope through the forest reserved especially for first timers. Then you can progress onto the green slopes of the altiport. The Méribel valley is in the centre of all the action. At the head of the Méribel valley you'll find Mont Du Vallon, at a height of 2,952m, the views are stunning and the ski down even more so.
The valley contains the DC and Moon Park, two of the best snowparks in Europe. With a beginner jump line, to a superpipe, and everything in between. Méribel has much more to offer - mysterious and beautiful forests, wooded chalets and sumptuous panoramas. Méribel Les Allues, normally just referred to as Méribel, is nothing less than a combination of elegance, tradition and modernity. A must: Take the Olympic chairlift and enjoy the the most beautiful panoramic views in Les Trois Vallées from the Roc de Fer peak: a 360 degree sweep over the summits of Mont Blanc, Pierra Menta, Grande Casse, Dent de Burgin, Les Ecrins, Les Aiguilles d’Arves… and a large part of Les 3 Vallées ski area!
RESTAURANTS & BARS IN MERIBEL
The mountain restaurant Le Clos Bernard is the perfect place to rest, recharge your batteries whilst enjoying marvelous food in a beautiful setting. L'Ekrin, a Michelin-starred restaurant not to Miss can be found right in the heart of Méribel. For those wanting to throw a party and be part of the most famous après ski in the French Alps - head to La Folie Douce ( from 2pm)
SKIING IN MERIBEL
The area of Méribel/Brides-les-Bains has 15 bubble lifts, along with 13 gondolas, 17 chairlifts, 8 drag lifts, 8 childrens lifts and 7 magic carpets. 150km of pistes (7 green runs, 26 blues, 26 reds, 8 black) and 28km of itinaries, 2 olympique runs, 2 slalom stadiums, 2 snowboard and ski parks. Méribel has 685 snowmachines (covering 42% of the area) allowing them to add snow cover if necessary.
There are plenty of blues and easy reds for the intermediate skier - from the nervous to the more skilled. As for advanced skiers with 600km of runs in the Three Valleys there is plenty to keep you busy: from the beautiful Mont Vallon at the end of the Méribel valley to the far side of Val Thorens and down into the fourth valley of Orelle with numerous black runs with bumps, some without. The "couloirs" are accessible from the Saulire lift on the Courchevel side.
