Meet in Méribel

Perched in Les Allues with the mountain peaks and village spread out below, this apartment earns its place as a proper ski base. A five-minute walk puts you at the Rond-Point des Pistes – shops, restaurants, and après-ski all within easy reach – while a private ski locker with boot heaters and a secure garage mean the practical side of a ski trip is taken care of. Back inside, the living and kitchen space has a relaxed elegance to it, with a wine storage area adding a quiet touch of indulgence. Shared wellness facilities in the building – gym, hammam, and sauna – make the après-mountain recovery just as easy as the skiing itself.

Home truths:
* The bunk room is designed with younger guests in mind, so it works best for families rather than groups of adults who'd prefer a full-size bed for everyone.
* You're a short walk from the Rond-Point des Pistes for everyday needs, but Méribel's centre – with its wider range of shops and gourmet dining – is around an eight-minute drive away, so having a car or using the nearby bus stop will help you get the most out of the area.
* The wellness facilities – gym, hammam, and sauna – are shared with other residents of the building, so availability may vary during busy periods.
* A complimentary mid-stay cleaning service is included for stays of 14 nights or more.
