Chalet Gaïla
heart of the 3 Valleys
Mountain living, at village level.
A new 170 m² chalet at the heart of the Three Valleys. Pale wood, stone and a gentle fire, for 12 to 14 guests, winter and summer alike.
Méribel 4-star rating
Chalet Gaïla
A rare kind of pause,between village and summits.
Set in the village of Les Allues, Chalet Gaïla is made to be filled. 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a table for 12 and a very large living room assembled around the pellet stove: room enough to welcome 14 guests without anyone feeling crowded.
Upstairs, a quieter second sitting room: books, board games, enough to keep children and grown-ups busy.
The Olympe gondola is a 5-minute walk away, and drops you at the resort centre, La Chaudanne, in 10 minutes.

« We had a wonderful stay at Christel's chalet. Everything matched the description exactly. The equipment is of very high quality (you will even find a measuring jug), the chalet is beautifully organised and very comfortable, perfect for a great stay. It is in impeccable condition, very clean and well cared for. The location in Les Allues is ideal, with very easy access to the gondolas that take you to the main hub of the Méribel slopes, La Chaudanne. All of it with Christel's constant attention, from preparing our arrival to seeing us off. A wholehearted recommendation for a perfect stay. »
