Le Hameau du Mottaret

Perched high above Méribel Mottaret with the slopes on your doorstep, this traditional chalet-style residence is the ultimate value base for serious skiers.

Tucked into the upper part of Méribel Mottaret in the Quartier du Laitelet, the Odalys Residence Le Hameau du Mottaret puts you right on the snow. These traditional, chalet-style buildings – built in classic Alpine stone and wood to blend into the mountainside – offer ski-in/ski-out convenience plus easy links to the rest of the area: hop on the Les Chalets cable car down to the centre of Mottaret, or take the free shuttle buses across to Méribel itself.

From here the skiing is virtually limitless. The Méribel Valley alone serves up 69 slopes across 150km of runs, while a 3 Valleys pass opens up a colossal 600km of pistes linking Courchevel, La Tania, Brides-les-Bains, Les Menuires, Val Thorens and beyond – the largest linked ski area in the world. Beyond the skiing you'll find snowshoeing, night sledging, an ice rink, an indoor climbing wall, a sports complex with pool and fitness/spa centre, plus cinemas, bowling and more dotted around the resort.

Accommodation ranges from cosy studios for 3 up to one-bedroom apartments for up tp 5, so there's a fit for couples, families and groups alike. Each one comes with a functional kitchenette (electric hob, oven or microwave/grill and dishwasher), a comfortable lounge and a bathroom with WC. Every apartment has a television and most enjoy a balcony – the perfect spot to soak up the mountain air after a day on the slopes.

On site you'll find a mini-market with a handy bakery service, a games room with a billiards table, ski lockers and an indoor car park (pre-booking required), while Wi-Fi is available in the lobby and games room. Compact, comfortable and superbly positioned, it really is a brilliant base from which to explore Méribel Mottaret.
