Description Winter Ritual: Les Allues

Ski-in/ski-out in Méribel, this apartment sits as close to the slopes as it gets. The living area opens onto a double terrace where the Col de la Loze fills the horizon, and a fireplace makes it easy to linger long after you've come in from the cold. Three en-suite bedrooms – one with a balcony looking out over frost-laden forest – mean everyone sleeps well. Back in the residence, a serious wellness centre with pools, sauna, hammam, and a cryo suite awaits, along with a lounge bar and seven-days-a-week concierge. Few alpine apartments stack up quite like this one.

Home truths:
* Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.
* Your host can provide a parking permit here.
* 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.
* The free shuttle runs throughout the valley, with services every fifteen-minutes at the start and end of the day.
