Méribel

Spoiler alert: Chalet Les Brames isn’t a hotel—it’s a private residence a quick drive from center of Meribel Village. The house itself sleeps up to twelve, and each room features floor-to-ceiling windows to better frame the property’s incredible views. (The master bedroom, which has its own floor, features a south-facing terrace with views of Mount Vallon.) The bedrooms are tastefully appointed and generously sized with nods to Alpine style—think faux-fur throws and rough-hewn wood furniture—and bathrooms feature soaking tubs to soothe achy ski legs. For the littles, there’s plenty to occupy them—from a library of movies to sleds, and lots of outdoor space for friendly snowball fights. Bonus: an outdoor hot tub at the end of a long day skiing, or doing Snowga, even, with one of the Chalet's own instructors.
