Weekend Snowfall Spells Even Better Conditions in the Alps

The current cold spell we have in the UK at the moment is bringing even better snow conditions across the Alps. The resorts of France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy all received some good snow fall over the weekend. Combined with some very cold temperatures this is building an excellent snow base for the season. I would also like to point out that it was -7 oC in my car this morning!

Lifts opening early in Meribel!

Our friends at Meriski, arguably the resorts most respected Chalet operator have informed us that Meribel Alpina (the lift company) has launched a statement to say that lifts in Meribel will be opening even earlier this season. This is due to the recent snowfall and excellent conditions already being experienced on the higher peaks. Lifts open on 5th December and lift passes will be at a 35% discount during the first week. In order to take advantage of the great early conditions, Meriski will be opening up some of their chalets a few days earlier than advertised so please contact us for more details and some exceptional pre-Christmas skiing offers.

Introducing Chalet Le Grand Cerf, Luxury Ski Chalet Meribel

Chalet Le Grand Cerf, sleeps 17

Chalet Le Grand Cerf is new to our portfolio for this season and is arguably one of the most impressive chalets available to rent in Méribel. The sheer size of this chalet combined with its exquisite contemporary finish cannot fail to impress.

Situated in the private residence of Domaine des Brames, the chalet is certainly exclusive and features skiing access via a 50 metre path from the Georges Mauduit piste to the Chalet’s back-door thus ticking the all important “ski in ski out” box.

Chalet Virage, Meribel

NOW OFFERING SATURDAY TO SATURDAY BOOKINGS

For the majority of chalets and hotels within our portfolio, we run a Sunday changeover allowing our guests to take advantage of the quieter airports, lower airfares and quicker transfers to resort. However this does reduce the available options for those wishing to travel to resort from London by the Snow-train (Eurostar) arriving in the Alps on a Saturday.

We are therefore pleased to offer Chalet Virage with a Saturday changeover. The chalet; modern, comfortable and perfect for exclusive use or room by room bookings, is located a short walk to the centre of town and has stunning views across the valley. All bedrooms are en-suite and the outdoor hot tub is a very popular place to enjoy an apres ski refreshment.

Chalet Virage is available to book through The Oxford Ski Company, call us on 0870 787 1785. A week with full catering costs on average £860 per person, per week.
