Suitability
- wheelchair inaccessibleAccess to the chalet is via a flight of steps outside. When it snows these are cleared, but after a heavy snowfall it may take some time for the snow to be cleared. A snow shovel and salt are provided in case you need to clear the snow yourselves immediately. For this reason access may be difficult for people with poor mobility, especially after a snowfall in winter.
Notes
- The apartment is fully equipped to a high standard with fresh linen and fluffy towels. Our caretaker is in the resort to deal with any enquiries or questions you may have. A weekly towel / linen change, and a thorough cleaning to COVID standards throughout the apartment is included in the rent. Inside the apartment there is an open plan fully equipped kitchen diner. The dining table seats 4 but there are extension leaves in the cupboard which can be added to seat more. From the large corner sofa you can sit and gaze at the fabulous view through the large picture window sliding door to the balcony. You can wander in and out of the balcony to enjoy the sunshine, and sit at the table outside to eat your meals, drink your tea, have a glass of wine, read your book or snooze.

Ask a questionAbout Rich Thornton
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 Rich Thornton chose Meribel
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 Apartment 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.
