Chalet La Vieille Grange
Features
Chalet la Vieille Grange, originally a traditional barn, has been fitted out and furnished to a very high standard. The chalet has five bedrooms all with full en-suite facilities. At the top of the chalet is the open plan living and dining area; it has a large picture window with views across to the mountainside opposite. Guests staying in this chalet have the advantage of their own sauna.
Location: In the heart of the old village of Mussillon, the chalet is less than a 10 minute walk from Méribel village centre and 250m from Dick’s T-Bar, a well known local après ski venue.
There is a minibus service in the morning (08.30h to 10.00h) to take guests to ski school or the ski lifts. Priority will be given to guests going to ski school; there is also a free public bus service from the chalets to the slopes.The minibus will also bring you back to the chalet in the afternoon: it will run for the final hour before the main lifts close.

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…
