ESF Vallée de Méribel - École du ski français

Earlier this month, I was kindly invited to an intimate lunch by Lara Fossat on behalf of The Ski Collection with partners from the ski resort of Meribel, exploring the most luxurious aspects of the resort. Meribel in the French Alps is at the heart of the largest linked ski area in the world, The Three Valleys. It is so expansive that is is hard to visit every corner of the ski domain in one week, but you are more likely to accomplish that exhilarating feat being based in Meribel. Already, the location itself is pure luxury for passionate skiers, but your stay can be heightened by further finer details in the selection of accommodation and experiences. Meribel is host to an international clientele and features both 5* hotels, each with their own unique interiors and amenities, and private luxury chalets, with dedicated staff who will personalise your stay. Unlike many other ski resorts, Meribel has retained its traditional Alpine charm, with every building in the typical chalet style of timber and stone. A firm favourite amongst families, there are a range of ski schools, kids clubs and family-friendly activities. 5* Le Coucou Méribel has a whimsical playroom for its 'petit vip' and offers mini hotel slippers to match parents, and 5* Le Kaila has a Lego-themed playroom and offers a specially designed Lego gift for its smaller guests. For après-ski, the infamous La Folie Douce showcases daily performances by DJs, singers, dancers and musicians, with expansive outdoor terrace and VIP spaces overlooking the crowd. For a unique luxury experience, we can even organise your own private ski race! Thank you to all the Meribel partners in attendance for the lively conversation and presentations: Natallia D. from Méribel Tourisme Luca Mendola from 5* hotel Le Coucou Méribel Stéphane Zabotti from 5* hotel Le Kaila and 4* hotel Le Chaudanne James Carroll from Ski Armadillo Luxury Ski Chalets Valeria Isaeva from ESF Méribel - French ski school Emma Morison from Oxygène Ski & Snowboard School Thank you also to Haymarket Hotel who provided us with excellent hospitality and fine dining in a private room. Just a short walk from busy Piccadilly Circus, the hotel was an oasis of calm from the hustle and bustle of central London, and the indoor swimming pool I passed on the way to our private room was spectacular.
