Chalet Lys Blanc, Meribel

This charming chalet, set in a quiet residential area in the attractive Morel area above Méribel Centre was the former private home of the owner, so great care has gone into its style and upkeep. The spacious bedrooms all have en suite facilities and are tastefully furnished. The cosy living/dining-room makes a beautiful centrepiece to the whole chalet, with a log fire adding to the overall atmosphere.

The Morel chair lift is only three minutes walk away, which takes you to the Altiport for excellent links to the Three Valleys. On your return at the end of the day, a blue run from the Altiport brings you back close to the chalet. Alternatively there is a ski-bus stop 200m from the chalet for the short bus ride to and from the lifts.
