Refuge Boua, Meribel

Daniel — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 06:17:35 +0000

Refuge Boua is the ‘sell-out’ chalet in our Meribel portfolio and favorite of the hardcore Meribel ski cognoscenti. This is a true skiers chalet; literally on the piste and next to the lifts at Chaudanne, the main hub of Meribel’s huge ski area and ski school meeting point. The bijou front room provides a bright and comfortable living space leading to a small terrace with a secluded hot tub. The five minimalist bedrooms overlook the piste and have crisp white walls, cosy wood panelling and smart contemporary en suite shower rooms. There are not many chalets on the slopes in Meribel, even fewer that are only a short stroll across the piste to the centre of town.

Location
A completely unique position on the piste and next to the Chaudanne lifts. Just 150m across the nursery slopes to the village centre.

We understand that it’s the little things that can make a big difference. A choice of early morning teas in bed, CBeebies before bedtime and a basket of fruit & chocolate for your journey home. We can’t fix the weather, but we will secure a good table at your favourite restaurant and find out last night’s football result.

A ski chalet/hotel holiday should be easy, where the simple things that really matter are done supremely well. Warm ski boots in the morning. Drivers who never let you put your own skis in the back. Freesat for those that can’t miss their favourite programmes. Nannies with a little photo album at the end of the week. Multimedia sockets to play your music, images or film. The utter bliss of a post-piste professional massage or perhaps a manicure and facial. Fluffy towels. Silly little stuff that is important to us, and so we know it will be important to you too.

A catered chalet holiday is all about the food…Our Executive Chef is passionate about food and hugely sensitive to the appetite of a hungry skier whilst considering a balanced diet. The new and refined menus are heavy enough to reward mountain exertion yet light and simple enough to leave you grinning not groaning.

As well as possessing a flair for entertaining and a genuine love of food, our chalet hosts are friendly, unflappable and exceptionally hard working.
Your ski chalet holiday includes;

Continental breakfast with a cooked option on 6 mornings
Afternoon tea will be left in the chalet for you to help yourself to freshly made cake or biscuits, bread & jams, selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate
Canapés on the first and last evening
3 course evening meal (6 nights) followed by cheese board and coffee
A choice of red and white wine is served throughout dinner

Chalet Yukon, Meribel

Daniel — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 06:10:21 +0000

We are rather pleased with this new chalet in Meribel. Two bedroom independent chalets are rarer than Marmottes in December, especially in the popular resort of Meribel. Renovated for us in the summer of 2017, Chalet Yukon provides rather unique accommodation for just four people with your own private hot tub and dedicated chalet host.

This wonderful little chalet is a delightful hideaway for a small group of friends or a family and offers a great deal of privacy. A freestanding chalet over two floors, the open plan living/dining space with log stove is perfect for four, and the patio doors open out onto your own balcony with an extraordinary and uninterrupted Alpine panorama.

The décor is smart and contemporary and we have thrown in a few toys as well, with wall mounted TVs in the bedrooms and some decent sounds in the living room. The bedrooms in Chalet Yukon are located on the lower floor. There is one double bedroom with an en suite shower, separate wc and secluded terrace with amazing views and direct access to the hot tub, plus a twin bedroom with en suite bathroom.

LOCATION
Less than 5 minutes stroll (350m to be exact) from the Tourist Office and centre of Meribel, two minutes walk to the infamous O’Sullivans (Dick’s T- Bar of late). The pistes at La Chaudanne are two minutes away by our Merishuttle chauffeur service.

As well as possessing a flair for entertaining and a genuine love of food, our chalet hosts are friendly, unflappable and exceptionally hard working.
