Chalet Alysson, Meribel

Situated in the Morel area in Meribel, which is just above the town centre. The town centre is less than a 10 minute downhill walk away, although if you prefer, you can take one of the frequent free resort buses there and back, which will take around three minutes. The chalet is a 250m walk in the morning to the Morel chairlift, take the chairlift to the bottom of the Alitport area, and head off for the day. If you are booked into lessons starting at La Chaudanne each morning, you will need to get the free resort bus from close to the chalet to meet your lessons.  The location of the chalet means that if you choose to you can ski right back to the door. It is not recommend for complete beginners, although clients have said "it gives hours of excellent video footage" if you do. As you ski down the blue H'ulotte run, you will see the chalet off the path to your right, you can ski to the chalet or continue down the piste to the Morel Chairlift.

No-smoking chalet.

Meals

Good wholesome and appetizing food is an essential part of any chalet holiday and that is precisely what we provide with the very best local produce.

All our quality catered chalets in Meribel or La Tania, start the day with a hearty breakfast. Return to your chalet at tea time to a baked cake or biscuits with tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

Shortly before dinner you can enjoy canapés with your fellow guests. Your carefully prepared dinner comprises of three-courses, complimented with a choice of four quality French wines. You will also be provided with a cheese board of locally selected cheeses for the week, which you can enjoy at your own leisure.

Tea and coffee are available for you during the day for you to help yourself to for the duration of your stay.

Special Dietary Requirements

Recently we have noticed the increase in requests for special dietary requirements. The nature of a chalet holiday has traditionally been a menu for the whole chalet during the week. This is an element that allows us to provide competitively priced holidays in first class Ski Resorts of Meribel & Courchevel. The availability of certain ingredients has improved over recent years in the Alps from our suppliers. Therefore we are happy to introduce the choice of a revised menu/cakes when requested with adequate notice. There will be a charge of £39 per person for this service.  Please note our chalet hosts are not professional chefs.

Vegetarian, pescaterian and special diets

We are happy to assist with your special dietary requirements. Vegetarian and pescatarian options are available on our normal chalet menus and there is no charge for this. Other special diets can generally be catered for, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, coeliac and other specific food allergies. There will be a charge of £39 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Failure to do so will result in a short notice fee of €60 per person per week charged in resort. A specific meal may not be available on the first night with late notice. Please note our chalet hosts are not professional chefs.

It is impossible for our staff to take notes of peoples food 'dislikes'. If you are on a diet, then a chalet holiday might not be your best option, however you can make the choice what your eat of our menu. We have set menus, these are varied and made from local fresh produce, your hosts do not have the time or resources to make different dinners for a variety of people each evening. Please note our chalet hosts are not professional chefs.

Vegan Diet

France/Ski resorts don't tend to be vegan friendly, with almost every menu featuring cheese fondue and cured meats. So choice is limited during the day at the mountain restaurants, trying to explain to a Frenchman that you are vegan may well fall on deaf ears. So be prepared, your choice may only be veg soup, salad or chips.  We have offered a vegetarian option in our chalets for the past 26 years and continue to do so, on occasions we can adapt this to being vegan, if it is not already. But it is hard for our chalet hosts to produce elaborate vegan cuisine. The supermarkets do not have the same amazing choices we do in the UK, especially in the mountains.  We are able to offer you dairy free options of milk, yogurt and maybe even ice cream, but there are no dairy free cheeses and certainly no Linda Macartney sausages or similar choices available locally. Our hosts will do their very best to accommodate you. Please note our chalet hosts are not professional chefs.

For our Gluten free guests we can provide gluten free cakes, please note you may be served the same cake twice in a week. ​

However please note, extreme dietary requests may not be able to be met, so it is important you discuss any requests with us before you book as a chalet holiday.

In choosing to travel with us, you accept the following facts: That our chalet hosts involved in catering, including for children’s meals, are generally not qualified catering professionals and that no food allergy system can ever have a 100% guarantee against any contact with a specified foods. Items such as eggs, dairy products and nuts are constantly present in kitchens and dining areas, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out, our staff cannot police what snacks third parties, including other guests’ children, may bring into contact with the allergic person. Our staff may not be aware of precise food contents, where they do not speak the language in which the ingredients are labelled, for example. You will appreciate all our staff adhere to all the Health & Safety measures required in chalet kitchens but the chalet cannot be regarded as a complete sterile area. We therefore cannot and do not guarantee the avoidance of specified ingredients, and cannot accept liability in the event of any dissatisfaction with special dietary arrangements, including the occurrence of an allergic reaction.
