Owner profile
About the owner
Chalet Apartment Les Marmottes is situated in the charming village of Les Allues, (1100m) just 3.5 miles from Meribel. We have found Les Allues to be an ideal base for our ski holidays and our apartment is very well situated near the centre of the village & ski lift to Meribel.
I have been letting our apartment for self-catered holidays for over 10 years with many repeat bookings. I will be pleased to answer any questions you might have regarding the apartment and the resort - we spend our own family holidays in Meribel and know the area well.
To help look after our apartment we have an excellent local agency. Please see the Les Marmottes website for more photos of the apartment and information on skiing in the Meribel.
Year purchased: 1998
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We chose the apartment for its beautiful village setting in Meribel Les Allues, the stunning views from the balcony, living rooms and bedrooms and its proximity to the lifts and pistes.
We love skiing and snowboarding but prefer a village atmosphere to a noisy busy resort, so Les Allues is ideal as it offers all the charm of an authentic alpine village, together with easy access to 600 km of pisted skiing - high and snow-sure, with excellent snow making so that you can ski well into April.
Les Allues itself has a good choice of restaurants, bars, a ski hire shop, small supermarket, childcare. As well as the gondola, there is a free ski bus to Meribel, which can also be used for apres-ski.
Unique benefits of the property
The chalet is very conveniently located in Les Allues which is a friendly and welcoming village and we appreciate the short easy walk to the ski lift and village shops and restaurants.
The apartment is carefully maintained and as it is our own holiday home you will find everything you need for a comfortable and convenient self-catered holiday.
We also have an excellent resort agency who will prepare the apartment for your arrival, including making the beds and putting out towels and bathrobes. They offer a range of optional extras such as catering, babysitting, grocery delivery or breakfast bread and pastries which can make your holiday even more relaxing.
