The Quiet Après

Ski-in/ski-out access in Méribel is a strong start, and this rooftop apartment delivers well beyond the piste. Snow-laden pines frame the indoor pool, the cedar-lined sauna is there for aching legs after a long day on the mountain, and a wrap-around terrace catches the last of the Alpine light at sunset. A mezzanine reading nook and woodland-themed playroom mean younger guests are as well catered for as grown-ups. Back downstairs, a concierge, valet parking, resort shuttle, and on-site lounge bar mean you rarely need to venture far to find what you need.

Home truths:
* The fourth bedroom is the mezzanine above the lounge, with two single beds – it's an open, semi-private space rather than a walled room, so it suits children or flexible travellers happy to be part of the living area at night.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Speak with your host in advance to have everything ready on arrival.
* You'll have secured, valet parking at the residence, so there's no need to worry about finding a space or unloading ski equipment on arrival.
* The free shuttle runs throughout the valley, with services every fifteen-minutes at the start and end of the day.
* A mid-stay cleaning is included with your stay.
