River rafting on the I'sére

River rafting on the I’sére

The snow has melted,except for the peaks, making the rivers gushing, so great for River rafting. The pastures are full of gorgeous wild flowers and the warm June sunshine days are on their way.
Mountain refuges are open for over night stays in the wild on long hikes, or just for a drink and lunch refresher.
June and the 1st 2 weeks of July are great times to visit, before the schools start their holidays.
Prices from £399 for a week for up to 6 people

Méribel winter 13/14 snow is arriving!

Saturday, November 9th, 2013

The snow falls in The Méribel Valley are here!  The snow is starting to get further and further down the mountains. With colder weather and heavy snowfalls coming this week, we are getting a very good base for the season’s snow conditions.Lifts open 7 December, with the 1st week having reduced lift pass prices. A great week to come, as travel and accommodation costs at their lowest for the season.

Winter is creeping down the mountains now in The Méribel Valley

Saturday, October 26th, 2013

Beautiful autumn is working its way down the mountains with the trees displaying their amazing array of colours, closely followed by the winter snows slowly stretching down from the peaks.

Soon the leaves will fall and the mountains will turn pristine white, leaving just the dark green fur trees, that catch  the snowflakes as they fall. Brooms to clear leaves will be put away and replaced with snow shovels to clear snow from the driveway and paths of Chalets  Champêtre, Burgin and Aux Cézares

Spring & Summer coming to Méribel

Friday, April 20th, 2012

Despite the snow still falling in Méribel, the tulips are popping their heads up to herald Spring.

Our spring cleaning starts next month and the window boxes with their profusion of geraniums will adorn the balconies and garden. Then we will have the contrast of long lazy hot days and days of extreme sports, like river rafting, canyoning, rock climbing, mountain biking or golf, but in the mountains that’s a bit more energetic!

We will happily pass the time waiting and hoping next winter is as fantastic as this with great snow from December-April :-))View to Méribel from Les Allues
