self catering chalet meribel

Hi, I have friends doing a season in 3V this year, in 1650 and Meribel. I am going with family, better half and friends to 1650 in Jan in hotel all booked, but want to get something else sorted with some other guys only in march to Meribel (1st to 8th ish) and need a self catered apartment for around 4 of us to to crash in! Does anyone know of anything or where to find one? Cheap and small is fine for this one if its closer to slopes! Thanks

I stayed in the Pierre et Vacances apartment block Les Ravines in Meribel, when I was there. It's very central and to get to the piste you either walk a short distance down the road or walk across the road and go up an escalator to the piste and ski down a short way to the Chaudanne - where all the lifts go from.

I don't know what you count as cheap. It's available for 4 people from 8th March for a week either with Igluski at £489 per person including flights and transfers, or directly with P&V for 1,160 euros which is currently around £930 (at 1.20 euros per pound) or £233 per person.

You could also have a look on here for a suitable apartment:

Thanks AllyG, thats ideal and no problem with that kind of cost. I do have to go on the 1st though so I will see if it is available then or bloom at at the link. Thanks very much

That's a pity you've got to stick to the 1st March. It was available when I checked, but more expensive at 1,330 euros for a 4 person studio for the week.

If anyone else is interested - it's only 600 euros on 11th Jan, and 670 euros on 22nd March.

And if you do decide to go there don't forget that the reception doesn't open until 1700 hrs!

And also remember you have to pay the taxe de sejour - it's only a few euros but they want it in cash. You also have to pay a deposit which I think is 200 euros, but I just gave them my passport to keep safely for me because I didn't want to be given back 200 euros right at the end of my holiday!
