Chalet Chardon Bleu

Chalet Chardon Bleu is a self-catered chalet in Méribel, sleeping 12 in 6 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Chalets Ski Lift, is about 550m away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. It has a hot tub. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and earns its place. Beds: 5 doubles and 2 singles, with 6 bathrooms.

Méribel scores 60 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1450m. That means it is normally open at Christmas, with the lower runs depending more on the year.

Sleeping 12, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

It is not ski-to-door, so factor in getting to the lifts each morning. 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. Pets are not allowed. 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.

We do not publish transfer times, because they swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week.

Christmas week 2026 runs 19 Dec – 26 Dec 2026 — the Saturday-to-Saturday changeover most Alpine chalets work to, with Christmas Day falling mid-week.
