Chalet Bambis
Features
Traditionally furnished, the space has been used to its maximum potential and
whilst the lower downstairs bedrooms are quite small, much of the old character
remains throughout.
The living room has a wonderful, large stone fireplace where relaxed evenings
with a glass of wine can be enjoyed after a hard day's skiing.
An ideal chalet for a either a group of friends or families with children who
ski, Chalet Bambis' most impressive feature is being able to walk out of the
boot room equipped with boot warmers, put your skis or board on outside and
slide down to the Chaudanne to catch the first lifts.
Guests should note the chalet is not really suitable for babies or younger
children as access involves a walk across the piste from the road.

Méribel Resort Info
Méribel lies in the heart of the Three Valleys, which remains one of the most popular ski areas in the Alps. It has 200 lifts, 600km of well linked, all-ability pistes and off-piste to match. Intermediates will flourish, but the weaker and stronger skiers aren't overlooked, as there is something for everyone. Boarders and freestyelers have the coice of 2 snowparks, with 5 more in other Three Valleys resorts.
Méribel ski resort
The resort actually consists of five separate parts but the two main areas, which comprise the vast majority of the accommodation, are Méribel-Centre and Méribel-Mottaret. Both are largely chalet and apartment based, with a limited choice of hotels, meaning that the restaurant selection could be better. There are, however, easily enough bars and clubs to keep the younger crowd happy.As with anywhere popular, slight queues can build up and the pistes and roads may become crowded in peak season. Also, prices can be almost as steep as the slopes themselves.
Overall, a good, if disjointed ski resort at the centre of a great domain. Aesthetically quite appealing because of the many chalet-style buildings, Méribel's biggest plus is its location at the heart of the Trois Vallées. This should override almost any criticism, although if you want to avoid Brits, this isn't the place…
