Chalet Roc Merlet, Val d'Isere, France

GORGEOUS CHALET FOR 14 GUESTS WITH STUNNING LOUNGE

Chalet Roc Merlet was the last of our Cacholet chalets to be transformed - something we did during lockdown as we couldn't leave resort! We have totally refurbished and redesigned the beautiful lounge and dining area of Roc Merlet and it's probably the best of our Cacholet chalets now. The fabulous high ceilings here really add to the feeling of space in these very spacious lounge and dining areas. During summer 2023 we have stripped every square inch of external woodwork back to the original, much lighter colour and oiled it to protect from the sun and snow. We hope you enjoy our new "old" look...

It has a large yet cosy living area with beautiful beams in those high ceilings, traditional-style wooden and stone walls and large balcony windows letting in lots of natural light. This spacious living area feels wonderfully atmospheric with the log fire and is the perfect space for socialising.

Each of the bedrooms has a contemporary ensuite bathroom with bath, shower, wc and basin. Each room also has a balcony and plenty of storage.

Part of our group of ‘Cacholet' chalets Roc Merlet overlooks the courtyard and our fabulous two shared outdoor hot tubs, in which guests can relax in style after a day on the hill.

Roc Merlet guests can use our comprehensive new shuttle service to and from the slopes in the morning and evening.

Alternatively the main village is a short journey on the shuttle from the nearby bus stop, or a nine minute walk.

Chalet board: cooked breakfast, afternoon tea and a 3-course evening meal with unlimited wine at dinner, coffee and mints 5 nights a week. Champagne reception with canapés on your first and last evenings, with canapés and locally made Methode Champenoise on every other catered evening. Cheeseboard once a week.

Breakfast

A hearty, substantial breakfast is vital before a day on the slopes so that's what we serve. Our morning feasts have really evolved over the last few years and we get lots of very positive feedback about them.

There's a tempting range of continental options, fresh crusty baguette and porridge and a full English breakfast is served on each of the 5 mornings when breakfast is served to you by your host.

No compromise is made on quality - we serve Heinz baked beans and ketchup, HP sauce and real teabags from the UK! Breakfast is served from 08.00 to 09.00.

Afternoon tea

Tuck into tempting treats after your day in the mountains. Help yourself to a freshly baked cake or biscuits which will have been made by your host. There will also be fresh baguette, jams, tea and coffee to enjoy.

Champagne and canapés

Canapés and Champagne or fizz are served at 7:30pm as you unwind and relax for the evening. Our house Champagne is Drappier. We know the Drappier family and they are one of the most respected families in Champagne who make their top quality drinks using environmentally aware methods and only the best ingredients. Drappier is served on the first and last day of your holiday.

On the other evenings we serve a "méthode Champenoise" made by our good friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret. Nicolas and family live just down the valley and provide all of our house wines too! Minimum wine miles, maximum quality!

Dinner

Dinner service is informal as we want you to feel at home in your chalet. Your chalet host will prepare and serve all your meals.

We work with local producers and suppliers to create an interesting and varied range of high quality home-made dishes.

Whilst you will never go hungry our staff have been trained in sustainability in the kitchen and we endeavour to keep food waste to a minimum.

After your three course dinner simply leave the table and relax with coffee and chocolates...if you have any room left!

Wine

We take our house wines very seriously and believe that they should be good enough to please every palate. We spend a long time each Autumn ensuring that the ones we choose are top quality, easy drinking wines. We only serve French wines in order to reduce our wine miles (or kilometres....).

We serve unlimited red, white and rose wine with dinner, from bottles not boxes! Choose your preference from the various different house wines we offer.

If you’re looking for an extra special treat we also have an upgrade Wine Lover’s Package. We have options for winter 2025-26 with packages starting at £65. We will review our house wines in the autumn for next winter.

Special diets

If there’s anything you’d rather not eat, whether for moral, sensory or digestive reasons, please let us know before you travel. We won’t charge you a penny extra for these special diets. Please contact us.

Children

We can serve dinner early for your youngsters who will likely be worn out after a day in the snow.

Your Chalet Host will prepare home-made, nutritious and fun dinners the kids will love!

Please let us know if you would like early dinner times or have special requests by calling us.

Chalet host days off

Your Chalet Host has two days off during the week (usually Tuesday and Friday). We will lay out continental breakfast and afternoon tea to help yourself.

In the evening, it’s a great chance to sample the local cuisine and your Guest Services Manager in resort will be happy to make a restaurant reservation for you.
