Self Catering Ski Chalet in Meribel

Our host Alaric went above and beyond to be there when we arrived, showed us the intricacies of the home which was the coziest chalet we have stayed in yet. Fully stocked kitchen and lovely bed sheets and duvets. Plenary of seating around the fireplace with 3 large couches that fit 10 people. The location was wonderful, the bus stop right outside the door and only a few minutes drive to Meribel and Courchevel. Alaric spent the time to talk about skiing in the mountain and where to eat around the valleys. Our chalet shined bright from the cleanliness. I would highly recommend Chalet Nikita!

We were a group of 8 (7 'children' over 25 and one 'responsible adult'), which the chalet was well able to accommodate, and had an excellent week.

Lovely family experience. We enjoyed skiing in the daytime and sitting in the house at night watching the fire. We thank you very much and we will keep good memories for the future.

Great stay, would recommend to all!

We stayed at Nikita for 5 nights, with 4 full days skiing towards the end of March. Over the 4 days we were fortunate enough to ski all three valleys, with sunshine gracing the slopes for the majority of our visit. The village of Chandon (where the chalet is located) is very easy to find, and the shuttle bus runs frequently to Chaudanne or Meribel Village. We hired our equipment in Chaudanne, where we were given a 30% discount for staying at Nikita - the people at Precision Ski were very nice and helpful. Eating out on the slopes is generally expensive, but our favourite lunch spot (food quality & views) was Cave des Creux, which is located by going up to Courchevel 1850 and taking the Aguille de Fruit chairlift if I remember correctly. The Ronnie (le Rond Point) was always fun for a few Apres drinks, and you can then ski back down into Chaudanne to get home. There was a superb authentic French restaurant called La Mortagon that served raclette's, fondues and steaks located in La Raffort, which is one stop before Chandon on the shuttle bus. We had an amazing time and would certainly hope to return again. Lastly, much thanks must go to Alaric and Katia for being wonderful hosts.

We had a great week stay at Nikita. It was as described, location was good, right next to the bus line, which made for easy access to Meribel center. Being able to ski back in to the top of the road behind the village was a nice thing too. Particularly enjoyed not being in the condo/ apartment scene of the main ski centers. Good communication by the owner too- thanks Alaric

We stayed at Chalet Nikita in Meribel and thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. The chalet is spacious, well laid out and had everything we needed – and more. It has a very home-like feel and was an excellent place to relax after a day’s skiing. Good access to the pistes and great to be able to ski back at the end of the day. What added to the pleasure of our holiday was the location. The chalet is on a pretty street in a beautiful community of small streets and houses. We have stayed at many resort-style properties over the years and really enjoyed the contrast of being in a “real home.” We have no hesitation in recommending Chalet Nikita to anyone looking for a break in a charming alpine setting.

Our experience at Chalet Nikita was great. Four friends from the US and I from Germany booked the house based on prior reviews and we were not disappointed. Each of us had our own room with plenty of space. The ski bus picked us up 15 ft from the house and it was a 10 min ride to the lift. We had never been skiing in Europe and were amazed at the number of lifts, vertical ascent, and on/ off piste skiing. An added bonus is the ability to park the car at the house and the washing machine and dishwasher.
