Les Chalets de la Meije
Les Chalets de la Meije is a small complex of
18 luxurious chalets built in 1999 around a
central 'Club House'. In the heart of La Grave,
Les Chalets de la Meije offers the opportunity
to sample French village life, with only a
short walk to the few shops, bars and
restaurants but do not expect a busy nightlife!
The cable-car, which will take you to the top
of one of the world's most amazing ski areas,
is also only a short 150m walk away.
In incomparable landscape, and literally at the
foot of 'La Meije' (3983m), all the
south-facing chalets enjoy some breathtaking
views of the majestic summit.
With the extra services of a hotel, the central
Club House offers an inviting place in which to
relax after a busy day's extreme skiing. The
friendly bar has plenty of comfortable seating.
The leisure area and its fitness room, sauna
and Jacuzzi will allow you to relax with a
glass of champagne and enjoy the magnificent
panoramic views. (The two outdoor swimming
pools don't generally open until May).
This well-built complex offers very flexible
accommodation with the opportunity to choose
from whole detached chalets (two storeys plus
mezzanine), apartment suites (chalet ground
floor), double bedroom or double bedroom with
extra mezzanine (upstairs of chalet). All
chalets have a main entrance and then a
separate door to the downstairs and stairs with
separate door to the upstairs so that you can
benefit from total privacy if required.
The chalets at Les Chalets de la Meije have a
particularly comfortable interior with each
bedroom having its own stylish en-suite
bathroom and wc. They are modern in all
essential respects but with touches of country
character. The temperature in each chalet can
even be programmed and checked by a central
computer located in the reception area! Not all
chalets are identical but there are many common
features.
