Meribel — Route des Chalets
Chalet Le Nolde
Indoor pool, hammam, cinema and wine cellar, on a panoramic terrace.
- 600 m²
- 14 guests
- Suites + bunk room
✦ French Alps — Winter season ✦
Winter concierge
The chalet is the easy part. Passes, equipment, instructors, transfers, tables: all of it is settled before you land.
A staffed chalet comes with its own team: a chef, a host, daily housekeeping. They run the house. A concierge handles everything else, meaning what happens outside the walls and everything that has to be settled before you arrive.
The distinction is practical rather than semantic. It is what separates a week where you ski from the first morning from one where the first morning is spent queuing for passes and trying on boots.
We run the Riviera in summer and the Alps in winter, for largely the same guests. The advisor arranging your chef in Meribel in February is the one who arranged the boat in Saint-Tropez in July.

During the week
Private chef and sommelier, altitude tables and resort restaurants, nannies and ski nannies, massage and treatments at the chalet, private doctor, security and discretion.
✦ Our Commitment ✦
Why it changes the week
At this level the difference is not what is possible, since almost everything is. It is what was anticipated.
-
01
The good ones go early
In festive weeks the best instructors and the tables that matter commit as early as the chalets do. Booking the chalet in September and the rest in December means arriving late.
-
02
One contact
Not a switchboard, not a form. The person who answers at eleven at night about a car is the one who composed your week.
-
03
One single quote
The chalet rate covers the rental of the property. Staffing, passes, equipment, instruction and transfers are priced alongside it, and you receive the whole of it as one figure before anything is committed.
-
04
Two seasons
The same team, the Riviera in summer and the Alps in winter. Your preferences are not re-explained each season.
✦ Expert Guide ✦
Four things we settle as a matter of course, and that most stays discover on arrival.
01
Lift passes
Bought for the correct domain and duration, at the chalet when you arrive. And not automatically the full Three Valleys pass: a single-valley pass is plenty for a family skiing the same sector, and costs meaningfully less. Someone has to ask the question first.
02
Equipment
Sized in advance for every member of the party, delivered to the chalet ski room and fitted there. Nobody spends their first morning in a rental shop.
03
Transfers
Timed to your flight, not to a schedule. Geneva remains the usual gateway at two and a half hours, and the Moûtiers road in December is reason enough to plan ahead. A helicopter saves several hours on a high-season Saturday.
04
Tables
Altitude restaurants and the few serious rooms in resort are reserved in autumn, not in December. The table on the 31st is asked for at the same time as the chalet.
✦ Planning ✦
When it is all decided
19 Dec – 2 Jan · settled late August to October
Christmas & New Year
The most contested fortnight of the Alpine season. New Year commits first, often before the summer is over, and part of it never reaches the open market.
13 – 27 Feb · settled October to December
February half-term
The most reliable snow and lengthening days. The European school calendar concentrates demand into two weeks.
Bookable late
January, March, Easter
January is the best value of the season: same chalet, same staff, frequently better snow and empty pistes. Easter is the one peak week that can still be taken late.
✦ FAQ ✦
Questions & answers
Chalet staff work inside the property: chef, host, housekeeping. A concierge handles everything outside it and everything that precedes it, meaning passes, equipment, instructors, transfers, tables, childcare and medical. One runs the house, the other runs the week.
The rate quoted for a chalet covers the rental of the property, and only that. Chef and household staff, lift passes, equipment, instruction, transfers, helicopter access and the drinks list are priced separately. You receive the whole of it in a single quote before anything is committed.
Yes. Private instruction, ski school, off-piste guides, multilingual nannies and ski nannies. Childcare is scheduled around the adults’ skiing rather than in competition with it, the point being that everyone gets a proper day.
Geneva at two and a half hours is the usual gateway, Chambéry at one hour forty-five, Lyon from southern Europe. Private aviation lands at Chambéry, Grenoble or Annecy, and Courchevel has its own altiport. We arrange chauffeured transfers and helicopter legs.
Yes. If you already have your chalet, your own or through another agent, we can arrange the week around it. That is a concierge-only engagement, quoted as such.
