Description Embers over Alps: Les Allues

Ski-in/ski-out access in the Méribel ski area puts the slopes right at your door, and the forest-facing terrace means you're looking out over the treeline even when you're not on them. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living and dining space, making it easy to decompress after a day on the mountain. The residence wraps everything else around you – an indoor pool, salt grotto, sauna, hammam, cryo suite, lounge bar for après-ski, and a beauty clinic with ten treatment cabins – so there's rarely a reason to venture further than you'd like.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
* You'll have access to the on-site sauna, Alpine tea room, cryo suite, indoor pool, and more. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* While not all bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
