Chalet Genepi, Meribel, France

Chalet Genepi is arguably one of the most exclusive chalets in Meribel. It is located in the exclusive Domaine de Burgin, a private enclave within the Belvedere sector. At an elevation of 1,750m, the chalet's south-facing aspect provides unrivalled panoramic views across the Meribel Valley and maximum hours of glorious sunshine. 50m from the Georges Mauduit piste, access to the main ski lift area of La Chaudanne couldn't be simpler and after a day on the slopes, it is possible to ski right back to the chalet.

Built in traditional Savoyarde style to the highest specifications, the chalet offers accommodation over four floors. The centre-piece of the chalet is an expansive south-facing living room featuring luxuriously deep cushion sofas, an open log fireplace and technical extras like a surround sound music system. The equally impressive south-facing dining room features a magnificent oak dining table complimented by a floor to ceiling stone-clad fireplace.

The eight spacious bedrooms are all fully en-suite each featuring twin or super-king size beds with feather pillows and duvets, Jacuzzi baths and showers. Four of the bedrooms have south-facing balconies and five are suitable for the inclusion of cots.

The chalet is surrounded by extensive south-facing sun terraces and features a Jacuzzi, Sauna with pulsating shower, sun-loungers, outdoor heaters, exterior music system and a fully stocked bar.
