Chalet Hotel Alba

Accommodation

Offering comfort and convenience, now combined with Esprit's established Chalet Hotel services, the Alba is hugely popular and we look forward to welcoming further Esprit families to the wonder of the Three Valleys.

The Alba has thoroughly charming communal rooms, with the lounge and bar attractively furnished with rich fabrics, comfy seating and a feature fireplace to warmly welcome skiers home after long ski day. This provides the perfect ambience for a refreshing après-ski cocktail, and for enjoying evening apéritifs and canapés.

The atmospheric dining-room has picture windows overlooking the large sun-terrace, which in turn looks out over the Doron slopes, the Rond Point and across the scenic Méribel valley.

The Alba also has its own adults-only wellness area on the lower ground floor, with a sauna, steam-room and whirlpool spa-bath affording parents a relaxing haven in which to unwind and relax after the day's exertions.

Esprit staff provide a hot and cold buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and their 'Culinary Choice' evening menu, whilst their Baby-Listening/Child-Patrol Service, running till 11pm, allows parents to relax in good company over coffee and liqueurs after dining. Children's high tea is served at 5.30pm and supervised by staff till 6pm.

Esprit offer a complete range of room-styles here to suit most families, from a couple with a baby to sets of rooms for larger families, sleeping up to six.

Refurbishments during Summer 2012 by Esprit included painting the Wellness Spa and refurbish the boot room plus wallpapering and painting the dining room. New carpets will be fitted in all public corridors and many bedrooms.

Dining

Includes a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 4- or 5-course evening meals with wine and coffee to complete the evening six days a week.

Esprit Ski set high standards for their cuisine, and train their staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that guests will enjoy every meal with them.

Location

The Chalet Hotel Alba is ideally situated just above the main hub of the resort, yet right on the edge of the slopes at Méribel's 'Rond Point', a familiar landmark in the Three Valleys. Everything is geared towards making life as easy as possible for our guests, with the main piste just across the street, a ski-bridge to bring you back virtually to the ski-room door, and equipment hire from the shop immediately beneath the Alba, so collection, return and any mid-week changes are easily arranged. There are also several restaurants and après ski cafés close by and the bus to and from the village centre runs till 11.45pm.

Ski Area Access – The Alba really is the perfect choice for families who want to hit the slopes with the minimum of fuss and in the shortest possible time! The magic carpet nursery area for our Spritelets classes is just 50m away. The 'Doron' blue run outside the Alba takes skiers straight down to the resort centre and main lifts, opening up access from there to the whole of the Three Valleys. Alternatively you can take the Adret chairlift from just below the Rond Point and start your skiing day from there.

At the end of your day, returning to the Alba on skis couldn't be easier, either from the Saulire side of the Three Valleys down the Marmotte and Doron slopes, or, if you end up in the resort centre, the Rhodos 1 gondola will bring you straight back 'home' to the Rond Point.
