Rent Apartment Hulotte France

The French Alps are an enchanting area of phenomenal natural beauty. The bewitching mountains are famed as the paradise of skiers and snowboarders, the ethereal chalets are beguiling when framed against the backdrop of the snow-drenched Alps, dancing as they do at night, and for those who aren’t so interested in testing their metal on the slopes, there are quaint walks, opportunities for sledding, bowling, swimming and large-screen cinemas to enjoy as well as a thriving gastronomy scene. The French Alps has it all.  You’ll be based in the heart of the area, Meribel, in a gorgeous duplex apartment on level 1 that boasts three bedrooms. The property itself is carved into a slope giving it a feel of being one with the astonishing natural surroundings.  The location is ideal for a family or gathering of six, as you’re only a five-minute walk from the centre. At the very base of the building, you’ll find the shuttle shop where you can purchase passes for the pistes.  Staying here offers an authentic mountain experience. Decorated in the traditional Savoyard style, you’ll find touches of tradition, the cosiness of comfort and the warmth of wooden decorations permeating every room. This is a wonderful space to spend time together and offers plenty of room. Enjoy conversation in the snuggly living room, enjoy delicious homemade meals in your dining area, and rustle up your favourites in the open-plan kitchen. Step out onto the balcony to enjoy the sights that surround you – snowy mountains studded with trees and the breathtaking sky above. The use of wood creates a light and warming space that’s inviting and homely. Tiny touches, such as a painting of a polar bear and decorative cushions, create a calming and comforting sense of home. The open plan layout ensures key communal time, ideal if you want to reconnect after a ski session or a day exploring the area.  The bedrooms’ slanted wooden ceilings are almost den-like – the perfect place to hibernate after a heavy day. Small balconies allow you to take in the views as you sleep and rise. Warming pops of pink, baby blue and deep blue create a soothing touch.  The wood motif also runs across the two bathrooms, but you’ll also find a clean space here that mirrors the fresh snowfall outside.  Let your beautiful apartment be your haven for the duration of your stay.

The French Alps have so much to offer. Of course, they’re famed first and foremost for the endless opportunities they grant for people to ski and snowboard and with good reason. But beyond that, they’re a wonderful sanctuary for those who love snow and all things winter, whether your idea of a holiday is cosying up in a cabin with a hot chocolate, shopping, sampling local foods such as gooey and indulgent fondue, or spending time as a family swimming, sledding and taking in a film. The area’s beauty is that it is a winter wonderland dressed in its best colours.  You’re based in Meribel, the largest ski area in the world, a place where veterans and beginners alike flock with a sense of fearlessness (and perhaps some anticipation) as they browse the 300 marked runs, 160 ski lifts and 28 fun runs that thread throughout the three interlocking valleys. It’s a wonderful place for beginners to see if snow sports are their forte, with over half of all pistes marked beginner friendly (look for the blue or green flags). The valleys connect all eleven resorts: Courchevel, Bride-les-Bains, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Val Thorens and Orelle. You can traverse one to the other on skis if you wish.  Slope sidebars are a wonderful way to enjoy an apres-ski once you’ve traversed the slopes and are a notoriously favourite pastime for so many. Head to the hamlet of Meribel village for a touch of quaintness. Here you’ll find two restaurants, a chapel, a bakery, a mini market, a bar, a ski pass shop and also, rather charmingly, a bread oven.  Exploring those views by ski lift is also great fun, and there’s much to explore in the residential areas of Mussillon, La Renarde and the Route des Chalets if you want a look at how the people of the Allues live.  Enjoy the lively atmosphere with a toboggan run or a visit to yeti park, ideal if you have little ones who want to practice their skiing. Meribel is beautiful in such contrasting ways depending on whether it’s day or night, so why not explore life beneath the stars by sledding under the night sky? For something more unusual, try the snake-gliss. You interlock your sleds to form a snake of sorts as you move about the snow. Something truly magical to enjoy is pony sledding – let these majestic creatures move you about some truly fantastic routes. And Olympic Park is a favourite for all with its range of activities, including swimming, cinemas, hockey, bowling and open-access climbing.
