Chalet Mémé dans les Orties

Chalet Mémé dans les Orties is a self-catered chalet in La Plagne, sleeping 14 in 6 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Champagny Ski Lift, is about 180m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a fireplace. A log fire on Christmas Eve is most of the reason people book a chalet over an apartment. Beds: 5 doubles, 2 bunks and 1 sofa bed, with 6 bathrooms.

La Plagne scores 61 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1250m. That means it is normally open at Christmas, with the lower runs depending more on the year.

At 14 guests this is a whole-group chalet — two or three families, or the kind of Christmas where everybody comes. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. Pets are allowed, so the dog can come for Christmas too. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.
