The original chalet was built in 1958 by Sir Edward Tomkins, one of the founding fathers of Méribel, on an old goat track which is now Route des Chalets, THE most exclusive address in Méribel. The chalet was completely rebuilt in 2002 by its new owner, Sir Edwards' daughter, who has recreated the original feel, blending the essence of the old by mixing original local artefacts and family heirlooms with luxurious furnishings.

Please note that you can tailor make the catering to suit yourselves - this is a very flexible option - the price of the chalet does not include food - however the chef will call you a few weeks before your holiday to find out what sort of food you would like to eat and when you would like it to be served. This means that if you have children in the party you could ask for a more simple earlier meal for them - and include all of their favourites. Or perhaps you would prefer a more lavish meal for the adults - later in the evening. Maybe you might like to eat out a couple of nights; have lunch in the chalet on another day; or maybe you might like to invite friends back on another - this method of catering is very flexible. All you do is pay the bill for your food at the end of the week - the cost of the chef has already been included in the price. ---Please note that the prices below include the services of your chef but do not include the cost of the food. As you can tailor make the catering - you just pay for the food bill at the end of the week - please see 'menu options' on this page for more details---
