Time is Precious. Waste it Wisely

Breakfast is a relaxed affair; the children have ski school at 09:00 but no matter… it’s 08:40 and you readily accept the offer of one more steaming cup of coffee. You’re in no rush. Ten minutes later you’re in the ski room and the chalet host is helping you into your toasty warm ski boots, stocking the children up with ski snacks for the day. You step out of the ski room and walk the few meters to a parting in the trees where you find your skis are already laid out, waiting for you. You click into them and you’re off.

Few chalets in Méribel or in fact anywhere in the Alps boast such a wonderful location as Trois Ours. Accessed by the exclusive Rue des Chalets and discreetly hidden from view by carefully planted Alpine spruces. Yet part the branches and you will find yourself directly on the Blue Doron piste, a 2-minute gentle ski down to the Chaudanne lifts, ski school and resort centre. To be a guest at Trois Ours is to truly live the ski-in, ski-out dream, and we promise it’s everything you always thought it would be. 

A holiday here will be remembered for a lifetime – and for all the right reasons. You will recall pulling up at the chalet, your chauffeur leading you down the heated pathway to the front door where you were greeted with a glass of chilled Laurent Perrier champagne. The holiday has begun, as the chalet team discretely smuggles your luggage from the vehicle into your bedroom, while you sit back by the roaring log fire to take in your surroundings. You will cherish the memory of that afternoon you headed back to the chalet early to sit in the Jacuzzi, eyes closed and taking in the sounds and smells of the Alpine ambiance. The day your private ski guide joined you for breakfast and laid out the day’s plans to make the most of the fresh snowfall overnight. 

Chalet Trois Ours gives each of you what you desire most; space to relax, read a book, steam in the hamam, take it up a notch in the gym or catch a film in the cinema room. Fancy heading out to enjoy the live après music at the Rond Point? It’s a ten minute walk – but it’s uphill so you call on the services of the chalet’s luxury minivan and your own chauffeur. The music’s finished (for now!), so you are collected once more and whisked downhill to the resort centre to meander around the shops, a spot of retail therapy. The space and facilities are yours to use as you choose and with the pistes on your doorstep you can be sure you won’t waste a single precious moment of your holiday. 

For the gourmands amongst you the dining experience at Trois Ours will rightly impress. In full prior consultation your talented private chef will create culinary delights to your particular pallet. From a freshly baked cake each afternoon, to delightful pre-dinner delicacies and handmade chocolates to round the night off. The main event is in your hands; be it four courses of fine dining with a local cheese course, or simple family favourites and Savoyard specialties. You can vary this as you wish; dining is the key to an extra-ordinary holiday and the talented team will ensure this is one of the highlights of your visit to Chalet Trois Ours. A fine selection of French wines is provided by the chalet’s sommelier, perfectly matched each evening to compliment the cuisine.

Once you have experienced the rapture of Chalet Trois Ours it will be a challenge to top it for next year; a long quest awaits in the pursuit. Or you can quietly re-book and begin looking forward to next year’s visit.
