Holiday Extras

On the assumption most of you will not be taking the Lear Jet into Méribel or Courchevel Altiport and then horse-drawn sleigh on from there, you will need an airport transfer to get you to your chalet in Méribel after your bun-fight of a flight!

We would be delighted to organise this for you from one of the following airports:

• Chambery (109kms: 1 hour 15 mins)
• Geneva (136km: 2 hours 15 mins)
• Lyon (178km: 2 hours)
• Grenoble (175km: 2 hours)

shared transfers

Shared transfers are charged on a per person basis. For shared transfers, there are two options. The most cost-effective option is to book with a company that will transport you from the airport to the closest bus-stop to your chalet. The most convenient option is to book with a company that will transport you from the airport to the front door of your chalet although you will, of course, pay a small premium for this service.

Whatever option you choose, The Chalet Company can help…

Direct to your chalet

Like with everything in life, buying a lift pass is no longer as simple as it should be and comes with it a number of questions and no small degree of risk! But, fear not, the helpful Chalet Company team are here to streamline the process and unravel the mysteries!

First things first, you can pre-order your pass through The Chalet Company – this is a no-brainer as the cost is the same as if you purchased it yourself and there will be no first-day queuing – your lift pass will be in the chalet on your arrival!

The Question of Risk

Your travel insurance policy may or may not cover you for the cost of an emergency rescue. You must check the smallprint of the policy but, if it does not, you can purchase ‘carte-neige’ insurance for €2.90 per day and this will cover the cost of getting you off the mountain and into the hospital should a serious accident occur. Clearly a money-making scheme dreamt up by an insurance company and sold to the resort of Méribel (for a commission, no doubt)… but can you afford to be without it?!

Méribel Ski Service

At Meribel Ski Service our guests enjoy a healthy discount on their already competitive pricing. This, plus the caring service and excellent equipment offered by Oscar and Olivier, is testament to why we work with them. As The Chalet Company guests, you are able to pre-reserve your equipment to be collected in the shop or delivered free to your accommodation. Meribel Ski Service offer a courtesy minibus to their shop in the centre of town. Meribel Ski Service’s mobile service also means that guests can have their ski hire sorted in the comfort of their own chalet.

Chamois Sport

Chamois Sport (formerly known as Chamois Cloth) diversified from exclusively selling leather cloths to renting out top-notch ski & snowboard equipment in 1842 and business has gone through the roof since then! It has a huge and extensive range of snowsports’ equipment for hire (or should the mood take you, for sale) and is very conveniently located close to Chalets Evergreen. The Chalet Company clients can get anything from 25% – 40% discount on the published prices – but you need to book in advance and enter the Promotion Code: CHALETCO.

Instructors

Are you dreaming… or does the tanned, muscular red-jacketed professional gliding down the slopes appear to be floating on the wings of an angel? Of course, that is how most ski and snowboard instructors in France felt they were viewed by their doe-eyed public but, today, not all of them are so…’introspective’! They also don’t all wear red. The guys we work with are grafters; they have made a lot of sacrifices in their lives to achieve the top qualifications available to ski and snowboard instructors. They are also customer service focused and so will work tirelessly to ensure you have a fantastic time whilst in their care. And, finally, most of them are Scottish and so can boast barely a shade of a tan between them!

Parallel Lines
