Villa Overview
Chalet Altius is a six-bedroom ski chalet in Méribel — a 5-minute drive from Méribel centre and 6 minutes from the Chaudanne lift station, with a gym, hammam, and indoor hot tub on-site.
Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and capacity for up to twelve guests. The chalet is set up for large groups and family reunions who want a catered base in one of the Alps' best-known ski resorts, with a wellness offering that runs beyond the standard sauna. A gym, hammam, and indoor hot tub anchor the recovery side, and balconies with deck chairs and sun beds open off the main living areas. Méribel centre is a 5-minute drive, and the Chaudanne lift station is 6 minutes by car. The Tougnète Gondola is within easy reach. The chalet is fully catered, with daily breakfast and in-house chef service included.
The Chalet
Six air-conditioned bedrooms, five bathrooms across the chalet. The main living and dining areas open onto the balconies, with deck chairs and sun beds positioned to catch the sun. A gym, hammam, and indoor hot tub are on-site for post-ski recovery. Daily breakfast and in-house chef service are included. Wi-Fi is provided throughout. The chalet is set up for catered stays, with the option to arrange additional services through the villa team.
Location and Neighborhood
Méribel, in the Savoie region of the French Alps — one of the world's best-known ski destinations, at the heart of the Three Valleys ski area shared with Courchevel and Val Thorens. Méribel centre is a 5-minute drive from the chalet. The Chaudanne lift station is a 6-minute drive. The Tougnète Gondola is within easy reach. Chambery Airport (CMF) is roughly 1.5 hours by car. Geneva Airport (GVA) is roughly 2.5 hours. Lyon Airport (LYS) is roughly 2.5 hours. The chalet's position gives guests quick access to both the lifts and the village without being on top of either.
Best For
Large groups or family reunions of up to twelve who want a fully catered chalet in Méribel with a full wellness suite. The six-bedroom layout works well for multi-generational trips, three families travelling together, or a group of six couples. The gym, hammam, and indoor hot tub make the chalet a genuine destination in its own right — practical for guests who want to recover properly after long days on the slopes. For a similarly sized chalet in the French Alps with an indoor pool, Chalet 1855 sleeps eight in Val d'Isère with five bedrooms and a full spa suite.
