Chalet La Folie, Meribel

Description

Like being wrapped in a big hug, Chalet La Folie is comfy and cosy in equal measure. This modern, luxury ski chalet in Meribel is full of Alpine appeal, from the sledges and sheepskin rugs to the roaring fire.

The open-plan living space is the beating heart of this home, with huge, squashy sofas and armchairs gathered around the wood-burning fireplace in the seating area, as well as a modern kitchen and a cosy dining area with a refectory-style table for everyone to gather round for delicious meals cooked by your private chef. A bar area provides a welcoming corner for a cocktail while you catch up on everyone’s daily adventures. In the daytime, the whole area is filled with sunshine that streams through the huge windows and by night, the living spaces are lit with pretty, twinkly lights.

Outside, a large terrace with hot tub provides a quiet spot for you to enjoy a soak with a glass of bubbly or simply relaxing in one of the chairs to try a bit of star-gazing.

If you like your down-time with a little side order of fun, head to the TV room to catch a film from the comfy sofas, pour yourself a drink from the bar in the games room and get involved in a snooker or foosball championship, or head to the gym for a quick workout. And if you want to escape it all and simply relax, you can soothe both body and mind in the sauna.

Since every day here is packed with adventures, you’ll be pleased to hear that the bedrooms are designed with only total rest in mind. You’ll be ready to spring out of bed each morning, via a tasty breakfast, and be the first out making tracks on the Doron piste, which is just moments from your front door.
