Chalet L'Ancolie
Features
This superb chalet has been built in the traditional Savoyard style, in a quiet location set back from the main road, close to Chalet Côte d’Arlin. The owner, himself a carpenter, has lovingly done much of the interior wood panelling himself, ensuring a high degree of care and attention to detail,with many delightful features.
The sauna is a perfect way to relax after a day on the slopes, and the living/dining-room with its log fire and comfy seating is a haven in which to unwind.
The town centre and pistes are about 10 minutes' walk, however our exclusive minibus service whisks you to and from the lifts morning and afternoons, so there is no need to walk far,except the final 50m slope to the chalet. We can also provide transport to the ski-hire shop.

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…
