This spacious well-appointed apartment, with fabulous views across the valley from its large wrap-around balcony, TV, DVD, and free WiFi, is in the hidden gem of La Gittaz, which is a small quiet hamlet away from the bustle of Meribel Centre, but not far from bars, shops, and all amenities and with easy access to the slopes right in the middle of the Three Valleys, the largest skiing area in Europe.

It is a family owned apartment that we let for just a few weeks each year in the winter peak season and also for a few weeks in the summer. The apartment is in a charming old Savoyard chalet that has been beautifully converted to 6 apartments, all self-contained with their own front doors. It has stunning views across the valley from the large comfortable corner sofa-bed in the sitting area through the large plate glass sliding patio doors. You can also sit on the large sunny balcony in the morning getting a tan, or sit at the table and 4 chairs and enjoy your lunch looking at the view, or have a glass of wine in the evening watching the sun go down. The wide balcony wraps around the apartment, getting the sun first thing in the morning and all day long.
The apartment has been refurbished to a very high standard, with quality fittings, including washing machine, split-level oven and hob, dishwasher and 2 bathrooms, one en-suite. One bathroom has a shower over a full-sized bath, the en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower and a WC. Both bathrooms have good sized washbasins with large well-lit mirrors over them and plenty of storage space. There is a WC in the en-suite bathroom, and another separate WC.
There are two bedrooms, each with two single beds, which can be pushed together to form doubles. There is ample storage space with full-size sliding door wardrobes in both bedrooms and large cupboards in the dining area.
There is free Broadband WiFi throughout the apartment. There is a flat-screen TV and DVD player. The TV picks up French channels and BBC World, CNN, Sky news, Disney, etc. The TV is a smart TV which also connects to the Internet. You can connect your own computer, Xbox, or AV equipment to the TV via the provided HDMI cable . There is a portable Bluetooth speaker to play your own music through.
The chalet has a secure ski locker room with a separate lockable ski locker for our apartment. The apartment has one private allocated parking space, with plenty more free parking nearby.
There is a beautiful 17 century chapel a few yards away.

Excellent Stay!
We loved this property! Plenty of space for 4 adults. Wonderful view of the mountains from the living room and balcony that can be enjoyed while having breakfast and coffee. Great location and walking to the gondola to get to the slopes. Rich was an excellent host that communicated great and went above and beyond to provide all the information we needed to make our first time in Meribel easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Solid Location close enough to everything but away enough to be quiet
The property was great for my wife and 2 girls. Short walk to the shuttle and a 20 minute uphill hike to Méribel Village. We did not have the snow cover to ski to the gondola. Would definitely stay again.

Great apartment!
The apartment is great - spacious, well equipped and with nice views across the valley. It is a great base for skiing - the bubble lift from La Raffort is a short and pleasant walk down the hill. We didn’t have a car, but found it easy to get about and buy shopping in Meribel. One tip - we found it useful to hire a ski locker in Chaudanne (beneath Saulire lift). Thanks for a perfect holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Rich Thornton

Host profile image
I am retired, and when my husband retired as a GP in 2013, we bought this apartment for our family as we all love the three valleys in winter as well as in summer. The apartment is tucked away in the hidden gem of La Gittaz, which is within walking distance of both the Olympique bubble lift and the bus stop for the free bus. So it is an ideal spacious and comfortable family apartment but within easy reach of skiing, summer sports and the abundant night-life. It's also not far from some excellent restaurants and an award-winning Boulanger. We let out the apartment when our family are not using it to help defray the costs, so it is a well-appointed and comfortable place that feels just like home!
We have stayed at many holiday houses in the past when our children were growing up and have enjoyed some wonderful times. Using this experience we have equipped our properties to a very high standard and tried to include touches that we have appreciated in homes we have stayed in. The apartment is in a beautiful setting and is well loved. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our family have always been keen skiers and snowboarders. One of our sons has been a seasonaire in Meribel for many years and when the opportunity came to buy our own apartment we jumped at it. It is in a quiet village with stunning views but also within easy reach of Meribel which is always buzzing during the ski season, but is also busy in the summer with walkers, mountain bikers and people who just love being in the mountains with the stunning views.

What makes this property unique

Apart from skiing and snowboarding there is lots to do in Meribel in winter: walking, swimming, and of course apres-ski!
Also in the spring and summer there is golf, trekking and mountain biking. A few of the ski lifts are kept open for the summer season.
