Chalet Macoun

Chalet Macoun sits peacefully in Méribel’s Morel district at 1600m altitude – an ideal base for exploring the Three Valleys. Sleeping seven guests across four bedrooms, it offers a welcoming alpine retreat with warm interiors, snowy views and easy access to the slopes.

The chalet is just moments from the Morel chairlift, which links directly to the Altiport ski area. At day’s end, ski back via the gentle Hulotte blue run to within easy reach of your front door. The local bus also allows for easy access to La Chaudanne for a wider variety of ski lifts or for the lively après-ski. Morel itself offers shops and restaurants, and it’s only a 10-minute walk to central Méribel.

With 150km of pistes on its doorstep and 600km across the entire Three Valleys, Méribel is one of France’s premier resorts. Its forested setting, wooden chalets and village charm have made it a firm favourite with skiers from all over the world. Beyond the slopes, guests can enjoy an Olympic sports centre, spas, an ice rink and climbing wall, as well as excellent family facilities including clubs, toboggan runs and moonlight adventures.

Inside, Chalet Macoun is full of rustic character. The open-plan living area features a large fireplace and deep sofas for post-ski unwinding. A double opening leads to the kitchen and dining space, where cut-out wooden details and sociable design create a relaxed, chalet-style atmosphere. Step outside to the wraparound balcony for spectacular views.

The ground floor hosts a charming twin room and a shared bathroom. Upstairs you’ll find a single bed, a second twin with balcony access, and a double with an ensuite and its own private balcony. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the upper floor, with sloped ceilings adding Alpine ambience.

Extras include a ski and boot room, private parking, a welcome basket, firewood and mid-stay clean – all set for a warm, comfortable stay you’ll want to repeat.

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!
