Saulire Vistas

A suspended fireplace anchors the mezzanine living room, where aged timber ceilings soar overhead and the peaks beyond the terrace catch the last of the evening light – an easy place to lose track of time after a day on the slopes. Each of the four en-suite bedrooms has its own terrace looking out over Saulire or the valley, so mornings here are unhurried. Ski-in/ski-out access, a private shuttle, and a seven-day concierge take the friction out of the mountain, and the resort's spa – pools, sauna, hammam, salt grotto, and cryo suite – means there's plenty of reason to stay on-site on a rest day.

Home truths:
* While two of the bedrooms and three of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* One of the bedrooms sleeps up to four people in a super king bed and a bunk bed – we think it might be best suited to children or a family.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi here. They're shared with the resort's other guests.
* If you're travelling with little ones, a cot and high chair are available. Request these in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.
* Méribel centre is within easy reach for supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, and bars, as well as the Olympic Park with its ice rink, swimming pool, and bowling alley – useful if you want a rest day away from the slopes.
* The free Meribus shuttle runs every fifteen minutes at the start and end of the day, and the resort also provides its own private shuttle – so getting around the valley without a car is straightforward.
