A four-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées at the centre of the ski area
Les 3 Vallées links seven resorts across one vast ski area: Courchevel, Méribel, Brides-les-Bains, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Val Thorens and Orelle. Together they offer around 600 kilometres of slopes, all accessible with skis on. Méribel sits in the middle valley, which makes it a natural starting point for exploring the whole network, one valley after another. Choosing a four-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées right in Méribel therefore means fewer transfers and more time on the snow.
A family address since 1964. La Chaudanne opened its doors in the centre of Méribel in 1964 and has welcomed skiers ever since. Our 4-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées has kept the spirit of a family house: 64 rooms and suites, a cosy chic interior of wood and warm fabrics, and a team that knows the resort inside out. Guests step out of the lobby and reach the slopes within a few minutes on foot.
Planning your days on the snow. The official Les 3 Vallées website presents each resort, its lifts and its slopes. Some guests spend the first days in Méribel to find their bearings, then head towards Courchevel or Val Thorens once they feel at ease. Others prefer to explore a single sector in depth. Either way, the hotel remains a central base to return to every evening.
A resort with character. Méribel was designed from the 1930s around strict architectural principles: wood and stone façades, double-pitched roofs covered with slate, chalets of moderate height. The history of Méribel told by the tourist office explains how the Scottish Peter Lindsay later shaped the resort.
What the hotel offers skiers during the season:
- Valet parking and private garage: your car stays sheltered all week.
- Concierge desk: practical advice and bookings throughout your stay.
- Kids’ LEGO room: a warm place for children after their ski lessons.
Booking direct. For three nights or seven, reserving on our official website puts you in direct contact with the reception team, who can help you choose the right room and prepare your arrival in Méribel.
Rooms and suites for every kind of traveller
Once the lifts close, the room becomes a refuge. At La Chaudanne, ten categories cover every situation, from the solo traveller to the large family. Each one shares the warm alpine decor of the house, with wooden details, soft textiles and a calm atmosphere that invites guests to slow down.
Travelling alone or as a couple. The Petite Single, tucked under the roof with a skylight, suits solo skiers who want a quiet, compact room. Couples often choose the Standard South, with its south-facing balcony and bathtub, or the Superior, which adds a seating corner with an armchair for reading before dinner.
Travelling as a family. The Family room for four separates the parents’ bedroom from the children’s space. Larger families look at the Deluxe Family room for five, which offers two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, on a single level or as a duplex under the roof. Some Standard rooms can also connect, a practical option when grandparents join the trip. Whatever the size of your group, our 4-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées has a configuration that lets everyone rest properly before the next day on the slopes.
A few categories often chosen by our guests:
- Superior Triple: three beds, one of them on a mezzanine.
- Lounge Suite: up to four guests thanks to a sofa bed in the lounge.
- Duplex Suite: on the sixth floor, with a south view and a mezzanine.
Waking up in the mountains. Many rooms open onto the valley or the surrounding peaks, and the morning light over Méribel is one of the small pleasures guests remember long after their stay.
Choosing with confidence. Each category is described with its surface area and bed configuration on our rooms and suites page. If you have a specific request, our frequently asked questions cover the most common points before you travel.
At our four-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées, comfort does not end with the room: the room service menu, created by the chef, is available whenever you prefer to stay in.
Dining and evenings at La Chaudanne
Mountain air sharpens the appetite, and evenings in Méribel are part of the holiday. After hours outdoors in the cold, nothing beats a warm room, a good table and a few familiar faces. At La Chaudanne, guests can enjoy every meal without leaving the house: a generous breakfast before the first lift, a quick lunch between two runs, then a lively dinner once the skis are put away.
Breakfast to start the day. Each morning, a generous buffet brings together fresh produce, breads, pastries and a detox corner. It is included in your stay and can be enjoyed in the dining room or in the comfort of your room, a welcome treat on lazy mornings.
Le 80, our brasserie. Le 80 is the everyday heart of the hotel. Skiers drop in at lunchtime before heading back up the mountain, then return in the evening for reinvented brasserie classics served in a decor that pays tribute to Jules Verne. As the evening goes on, the atmosphere becomes more festive, with lounge music and a DJ.
A Michelin-starred table next door. For a special occasion, our neighbour Le Kaïla is home to L’Ekrin, where chef Laurent Azoulay creates his gastronomic cuisine. A short walk is all it takes to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary in style. Staying at a 4-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées with such a table close by turns a ski holiday into a gourmet trip as well.
Our places to eat and drink:
- Breakfast buffet: in the dining room or served in your room.
- Le 80 brasserie: lunch by the slopes and festive dinners.
- La Chaudanne bar: lounge and English pub spirit, from morning coffee onwards.
Relaxing after dinner. Before or after your meal, the NUXE Spa and the indoor pool help tired legs recover. A massage, a facial with collagen or a session in the duo treatment room makes the perfect transition between a sporty day and a relaxed evening. Our four-star hotel in Les 3 Vallées brings all these moments together under one roof. Book on our official website to reserve your room and share your dining wishes with the team.
