Description
For a luxury ski holiday that you can really make your own, a stay in the contemporary and beautiful Apartment L’Orée 405 is just the thing.
The property is offered on a bed & breakfast basis, leaving you to decide exactly how and where you spend your time. For those who enjoy cooking with local and seasonal ingredients, the kitchen is perfectly set up for you to cook up a storm, and the generously sized dining table offers plenty of space for long, relaxed meals with friends.
Adjacent is a huge living space, with cathedral-style ceiling that allows light to flood in, and capacious sofas, gathered around a central fireplace. Meet here to chat, drink, eat and share your memories of each day. A huge TV and lovely library make this a cosy spot to enjoy a book or a film, too.
On cold afternoons, when you’ve returned from the slopes, we heartily recommend an hour or two spent in the small-but-perfectly-formed relaxation space. Enjoy the sauna and then the indoor Jacuzzi, with a view of the mountain, while you soothe away any aches and pains and forget the world beyond your little bolthole in the snow. Then head for the mezzanine bar with a book or for a game of snooker to spend a little hyggelig time just enjoying the cosiness of the apartment before making dinner plans.
The balconies have lots of sun during the day but our favourite time to enjoy them, and the outdoor living spaces, is under the stars, with an after-dinner tipple, when the mountain looks even more majestic in the stillness of the night. Don’t linger too long though. Super-comfy beds are calling your name and there are lots more adventures to be had tomorrow. Bonne nuit!

Dining
This luxury apartment in Meribel is a rare find. For those who want a more relaxing start to the day, a breakfast service is provided with cost of food and drinks charged for separately at the end of your stay.
It has a well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you’d expect – oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher – but also has some nice extras, including Nespresso machine, wine fridge, fondue maker, blender and kitchen robot. Everything you could need, plus a few more little surprises, ensure you’re well set up to cater for yourselves during your time in the apartment.
And of course you’ll want to make the most of Meribel’s fabulous food scene. There are eateries of all kinds, both in town for an evening out, and on the mountain for a quick refuel during your ski. We always recommend Chez Kiki, which is something of a Meribel institution now, and Copina, which is famed for its delicious small, Spanish plates.
