School Holiday Week … Price Drop By Up To 20%!

We figured that the week from Saturday 17th to Saturday 24th December 2022 would be a super-popular week as it is a School holiday week (for both State and Private Schools) but one that still allows families to get home before Santa arrives and (just) in time for the Mother-in-law’s Brussels sprouts!

It seems, however, that our optimism was perhaps misplaced and, with some wonderful chalets still to sell, we have taken the decision to lower prices for that week … and by as much as 20% in some cases!

Chalet Impala (14) Impala offers beautiful accommodation including a large & open-plan lounge/ dining area with double height ceiling, open-fire, balcony and chic glass walls through to the kitchen. Guests benefit from a huge terrace measuring 1000 sq ft with sunken hot-tub, sauna house and stunning views across the Valley. There is also a Media Room with XL screen, surround sound & games console. The chalet has seven en-suite bedrooms.Price has been reduced from £16,950 to £13,650

Chalet Evergreen (15) We think it’s telling that, in an average season, 75% of the guests staying in Chalet Evergreenwill have previously stayed there. Evergreen is like an old friend to everyone at The Chalet Company, it has been in our portfolio since 2012 and the first contract we sign each year. And it’s easy to understand why; doorstep-skiing, outdoor hot-tub, indoor sauna, fireplace, en-suite bedrooms & stunning views. What’s not to like?! Price has been reduced from £17,750 to £14,200

Chalet le Refuge (10)

Chalet le Refuge has arguably the best location of any chalet in Méribel; it is located in the heart of la Chaudanne at the bottom of the Truite piste and just twenty metres from the Telecabine de Tougnete, thirty metres from Legends chairlift, fifty metres from Saulire Express and seventy-five metres from Telecabine de Rhodos. The chalet has lovely open-plan living, games room, outdoor hot-tub and five en-suite bedrooms
