The Méribel valley is one of the largest of the French Alps extending from Brides–les-Bains at 600m to Péclet-Polset at 3,560m. The town has 57 ski lifts in its immediate vicinity to serve 74 groomed ski runs that total 150 kilometres. One popular run is the Olympic women’s downhill run and as the epicentre of the world’s largest ski domain, there are endless stretches of off-piste. Queuing is a rarity thanks to a new electronic lift pass system unveiled in the 06/07 season, two 50 person cable cars, over 40 gondolas and 25 high speed chair lifts.
The Méribel valley, including the purpose-built Mottaret area, suits skiers of all levels. Beginners can cruise down the wide gentle slopes of the Altiport, a tree-lined area ideal for those experiencing snow for the first time. For Intermediates, the range of runs is almost limitless with 89 blue and 116 red runs. For the truly Advanced skier every day here is filled with challenges and adventures, be it acres of off-piste, endless mogul runs or simply kilometres of groomed perfection.
Méribel has two areas dedicated to free-style riders. In Meribel-Mottaret there is the Plattières snowpark with its 17 acres - over a length of 1,300 yards - of jumps, whoops, banks and two half-pipes. The Méribel Moonpark offers one competition-standard half pipe, one half-pipe for learners and a boarder cross with whoops, tables and other obstacles.
Méribel, Courchevel and La Tania offer 90 km of cross-country tracks, green and blues for beginners and red for more experienced Nordic skiers.
For those not skiing there are many mountain restaurants accessible by car or on foot where you can meet up with the skiing members of your party for lunch and we can also advise you on local walks as well as other activities such as toboganning, parapenting, swimming, ice skating, tennis, squash and quad biking. In addition, the beautiful Lac de Tueda is the perfect spot from which to appreciate the snow-clad peaks without donning skis or a board.

Built on three storeys, Chalet Infusion is a typical Savoyarde property and features five ensuite bedrooms, four of which have private balconies overlooking the mountains. Each is furnished in different fabrics, textures and antique furniture and four of the five bedrooms can be made into either a double or a twin.
The south-facing sitting room is at the heart of the chalet and features large, squashy sofas, a roaring log fire and floor-to-ceiling windows with views stretching across to the Olympe chairlift and the 1992 Olympics women’s downhill run. The adjacent dining room features a beautiful antique mahogany table and French windows which open on to a very private sun deck.
An expansive terrace, running round most of the chalet, features a Jacuzzi, sauna, outdoor table and chairs, sun-loungers, outdoor heaters, table tennis, pool table, darts board and a fully stocked bar. On the ground floor there is a laundry room, heated ski and boot room, laundry facilities and on-site private parking and a sixth ensuite massage room which can also be used as an extra bedroom for larger groups at a supplementary charge.
Four staff run the chalet including a manager, a hostess, an internationally trained chef and a driver providing a bespoke service of the highest level whilst retaining a home from home atmosphere. In addition, two vehicles are dedicated to the chalet as an in-resort transportation service and a ski and snowboard equipment team are always on-hand to provide a full equipment hire service from the comfort of the chalet.
