‘Tis the season to wrap up and hit the slopes
Get to know: Méribel
Méribel is a small, traditional hamlet of chalets and converted barns. It’s a popular destination for those who prefer a tranquil, village atmosphere. Services
include restaurants and bars with sun terraces, supermarket, bakery, and sports
shops. Activities include sledging, walking, skiing, and nearby dog sledging. The chairlift can also be used by non-skiers.
From traditional Savoyard to gourmet French cuisine, you should be able to find something to suit every taste and budget. Méribel is located in the Tarentaise Valley in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is also part of the Three Valleys, one of the largest ski areas in the world.
Chalet Harmony…
I can’t think of anywhere I would rather go than The Three Valleys. There’s nothing quite like a visit to Chalet Harmony in Méribel – enjoying a privileged position in Méribel’s central Duo du Pont area.
The chalet spans four floors and features an in-chalet cinema, swimming pool, spa, gym, and an impressive wine cellar. Undoubtedly, the 70-square-metre penthouse suite, occupying its own floor, serves as the crown jewel of the chalet.
It is one of the largest in Méribel, inviting guests to wake up to panoramic views from the top of the chalet each morning. Each of the six additional bedrooms also boast their own balconies. Think magnificent views across the mountains, positioned perfectly for catching the sunrise.
Debrah Dhugga’s experience…
An amazing escape for a group of friends or a large family, the chalet features an elegant master suite with its own floor and six further en-suite bedrooms including one with an additional children’s bunk area. The chalet’s entire first floor offers a space for post-ski relaxation and entertainment, featuring an impressive cinema room with tiered seating where the whole family can unwind after a tiring day on the slopes.
For post-ski relaxation, there really is no chalet to rival Chalet Harmony in the Three Valleys, with the spacious 200 square metre first floor devoted to entertainment and tranquillity.
Guests can spend the late afternoon watching the world go by from the warmth of the spa, with unmatched views of the skiers and mountains from the hot tub. The sauna and steam room is the perfect place to ease sore limbs, and there’s plenty of space in the fitness room to work out or stretch.
A celebratory evening with friends and family is always the order of the day after hours spent on the slopes, and Chalet Harmony’s magnificent living area is the perfect setting for evening champagne and canapes beside the warming log fire, before moving into the dining area for a delicious meal prepared by the dedicated Purple Ski chef.
Wine lovers can enjoy unlimited Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger Champagne throughout their stay, along with an extensively stocked wine cellar that even includes Purple Ski’s very own Viognier wine, made from grapes picked at the Château de Candie in Chambéry—perfectly paired with local charcuterie.
