Overview
Apartment Combes is a modern holiday home that accommodates six guests in three bedrooms and is surrounded by lush, snow-capped ranges.
Overlooking Méribel Village, it’s nestled in the valley of Les Allues, one of the largest and most coveted ski destinations in the world. Hop onto the free shuttle service (100 m) and discover these majestic slopes in a matter of minutes.
The apartment blends the storybook charm of a winter cottage with the luxuries of modern living. Its soft pine wood architecture matches perfectly with the surroundings, making you feel in sync with nature. Soak in calming mountain views from the sprawling balcony. A cosy al-fresco coffee table offers a nice change of scenery.
After a long day on the slopes, rest your body in the comfy living area. Roomy and inviting, it’s adored with glossy leather couches and sudden pops of yellow hues. You’re never short on entertainment options, thanks to the TV and high-speed internet connection.

The kitchen is fully furnished, with granite countertops and wooden cabinetry. It includes a coffee machine, dishwasher and kitchen exhaust hood. A fondue maker is also available.

To make your stay as comfortable as possible, the apartment takes great pride in its ultra-efficient and courteous housekeeping services.

The apartment is a short distance from chic boutiques, lovely fireworks and teeming nightspots. Take the Olympe gondola lift or the bus to the hip Méribel Centre. Adrenaline junkies are in for a treat with exciting winter sports activities like snowshoeing, husky sledging and heliskiing.

The Resort
Méribel is a village with a true alpine heart. You won’t find blocks of hotels and purpose-built facilities here. Instead, the compact and lively town centre is picture-postcard perfect, and its atmosphere is quaint and fairytale-like. It is without a doubt the most romantic resort in the area and if you’re planning a couples holiday in the snow you’ll definitely want to take a closer look at Méribel.
At the centre of the world famous Trois Vallées (Three Valleys), Méribel makes up part of the largest ski domain in the world. Across the valleys, it has six sister resorts. You can either get a single-resort lift pass and keep to the fantastic beginner and intermediate terrain there, but you also have the option of purchasing a pass that covers the whole area.
The advanced lift system at Méribel will let you maximise your time on the snow and make sure you’re not waiting around in queues. With 67 runs to try out just in the resort itself, there is no time to be wasted. Just beware of the afternoon sun cutting things short on the west-facing slopes and prepare to get up with the sun if you’re after untouched powder. At it’s highest skiing point Méribel reaches an altitude of 2952 metres and the descent from this point is known to be one of the most scenic runs around.
Aside from the world-class skiing, Méribel is also known to be one of the liveliest resorts in the Three Valleys. Many of its residents and bar-owners (as well as plenty of its visitors) are expat-Brits who certainly know how to party. The après-ski scene here is truly top-notch!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe apartment promises a refreshing time for kids. They can build snowmen, play-fight with snowballs and indulge in a variety of activities like hiking, horse riding and cycling. After a long day outdoors, they can watch their favourite cartoons in the TV lounge or play board games. Treat them to warm bubble baths in the luxurious tub. If you wish to arrange for highchairs or baby cots, the staff will be happy to help.
Blessed with a well-connected location, the apartment is also at an easy distance from nursery slopes, delightful ice-skating rinks and other kid-friendly winter activities. The staff will happily help you with details about ski schools and kid-friendly ski areas in the neighbourhood.
Méribel is a treat for the entire family, with many activities designed for kids. Head to Olympic Park and have a blast on the ice-skating rink. The little ones can show off their motor skills in the bowling alley, which has a few lanes for children over three. Enjoy an afternoon of splashy fun in the indoor swimming pool, which includes a kids’ section.
Tuck into Cinéma du Mottaret, a cosy one-screen experience which shows children’s films every evening.
Take an exhilarating hot air balloon ride over snowy forests and majestic peaks at Courchevel Altiport, about 45 mins by car from Méribel Centre. Your kids will love taking pictures and sending their social media into a tizzy.
After all of this excitement, the little ones surely deserve treats. At Rond Point restaurant, they can enjoy the best ice cream sundaes in town. For something savoury, dip into a bowl of cheesy fondue at La Fromagerie.
