Chalet Boréale combines serious skiing with serious style. Perched on the mountainside above the resort of Méribel, this is the ideal base from which to enjoy the huge variety of Alpine sports in the Trois Vallées, Europe’s largest ski area. The chalet offers the highest levels of comfort and service and its fantastic facilities include an outdoor pool and panoramic terrace. The view through the picture window in the living room takes in a wide sweep of snow-capped peaks – the perfect backdrop to the excellent cuisine prepared by chalet’s expert chef.
