Chalet Altair, Meribel
Altaïr is a new and rather splendid chalet in our quiet secluded close at the entrance to the resort. The chalet offers vast and lavish accommodation, including an extravagant top floor master suite. The décor throughout is a judicious mix of authentic Savoyard artefacts and original modern pieces, all set against the backdrop of cosy carved timber and large picture windows. The huge living area has plenty of space for everyone to lounge in comfort and there is also a luxurious hot tub on the ground floor. Each bedroom is individually designed and furnished and the master suite has its own separate dressing area and terrace. For your comfort and convenience, ski hire and boot fitting are available in the chalet.

Meals - Chalet Altair, Meribel
Good food is an essential ingredient of every chalet party. The welcoming glass of bubbly and appetising canapés on your first evening sets the tone for a week of tempting cuisine.
Your day starts with a choice of tea or coffee at your bedside (we can leave it outside the door if you prefer). This is followed by a hearty breakfast, including French bacon, tomatoes and a choice of eggs or, if you prefer, porridge; all served with fruit juice, cereals, yoghurt, freshly baked bread, croissants, jams, and a selection of teas and coffee. Once a week your chalet host offers an option of fresh pancakes.
While you are out skiing your host will have laid out afternoon tea for your return – diet-defying cakes, bread, jam, tea, coffee or hot chocolate. First one home puts the kettle on!
Dinner comprises a three-course meal followed by a cheese course, coffee and mints, and all complemented by a selection of extremely palatable French wines. The quality of our wine is of a much superior standard to that which you might have come to expect on a chalet holiday and we have a choice of house reds and whites to accompany your evening meal. In the unlikely event that our house wine proves not to be to your liking then additional choices, including champagne and port, are available from our cellar for a small supplement.
Chalet Hosts: As well as possessing a flair for entertaining and a genuine love of food, our chalet hosts are friendly, unflappable and exceptionally hard working. Having completed a rigorous pre-season training course, each host is encouraged to manage their chalet as if it were their own home. We find this engenders a commitment to your enjoyment and well-being which makes the atmosphere in our chalets quite different. Our chalet hosts have one day a week off. On this day breakfast will be laid out and fresh bread delivered to your chalet. Your host will be delighted to recommend and book a local restaurant for your evening meal.
Fully equipped for families
The chalet has stair gates, changing mats, microwave steriliser and sterilising tablets, washing machine access and a selection of toys.
We provide the following for our little guests; full-fat fresh milk for infants, fresh home-made purees, children’s cutlery and crockery, car seats in resort (not on transfer) and pre-bookable infant packs. Also the following items are available for use on request; bedguards, potties, toilet step & seat and table booster.
