Overview
The Hotel La Chaudanne, Meribel is a family run hotel that has been passed down through 3 generations over the past 50 years. It's less than a minutes’ walk to the slopes, practically on your doorstep. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, whilst the rooms are spaciously designed to accommodate families.
Le 80 restaurant is within La Chaudanne hosting Folie Douce parties twice a month and live music twice a week. There's a traditional French brasserie and those looking to unwind can head to the hotel bar - the perfect place to enjoy a glass of champagne or mulled wine. For a more formal and gastronomic experience L'Ekrin Michelin-star restaraunt at Hotel La Kalia won't disappoint.
Access to the wellness centre is included in the price giving guests full use of the indoor pool, sauna and steam room as well as the fitness room. The Nuxe Spa offers additional treatments and massage at a supplement.
