Last-minute ski inspiration from M\u00e9ribel’s most stylish hotel<\/h3>\n

Those looking to soak up the last of the slopes and sunshine in true French fashion, need look no further than Le Coucou M\u00e9ribel<\/a>. This impossibly chic mountainside chalet puts snow-seekers in pole position for a late season escape, with Le Rond-Point des Pistes on its ski-in, ski-out<\/a> doorstep. Here, we share five reasons to dust off your skis and head to Le Coucou before it closes on the 4th April 2022.<\/p>\n

1. The ultimate ski-in, ski-out location<\/h2>\n

\"Le<\/p>\n

Snuggled into the M\u00e9ribel mountainside, Le Coucou puts guests in the heart of the exclusive Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re\u00a0area, in a peaceful piste-side location. As the central resort in the world-famous Trois Vall\u00e9es, Le Coucou guests have easy access to glitzy Courchevel and high altitude Val Thorens, along with\u00a046 (and counting) lifts and gondolas. Watch skiers on the Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re piste from your Pierre Yovanovitch designed suite\u2019s balcony,\u00a0chocolat chaud<\/em>\u00a0in hand, then hit the slopes with personalised equipment set up each day for you in the elegant Ski Room, with its own take-off terrace.<\/p>\n

2. The food is as delicious as the views<\/h2>\n

\"Le<\/p>\n

Recently refurbished for the winter season, Biancaneve serves authentic Italian food from Riccardo Giraudi including Mushroom Cannelloni with fontina cheese and truffle, Puntarelle salad with Straciatella cheese and anchovy dressing, and Pizza Stracchino with stracchino cheese, rucola, prosciutto ham and truffle.<\/p>\n

\"Le<\/p>\n

The Beefbar, <\/em>also masterminded by Giraudi, uses top quality ingredients sourced from highly distinguished providers offering the finest and rarest cuts of Black Angus Prime, Wagyu WX and Kobe beef alongside fresh grilled fish, ceviche and carpaccio. Both restaurants are the perfect spot for an apr\u00e8s ski snack, while Beefbar has a terrace you can ski straight onto once you’ve worked up an appetite on the slopes.<\/p>\n

3. Post-ski pampering in the Tata Harper Spa<\/h2>\n

\"Le<\/p>\n

What better way to end a day on the slopes than a soothing spa treatment? Le Coucou\u2019s Tata Harper Spa boasts an indoor and outdoor pool, six massage treatment rooms with specialist treatments from Tata Harper, and a sauna area providing a deeply relaxing apr\u00e8s ski experience. Guests can trial the newly introduced Mother & Daughter and Father & Son spa package which includes a 40-minute body massage and 20-minute facial. The pool areas, divided by a bay window creates a stunning, trompe-l\u2019oeil effect with views of the snow-dusted vista outdoors. State-of-the-art fitness equipment, boxing facilities and a dedicated space for Pilates and yoga all offer panoramic views across the peaks.<\/p>\n

4. Family-friendly fun for tots and teens<\/h2>\n

5. Endless alpine experiences and events, beyond skiing<\/h2>\n

\"Meribel\"<\/p>\n

Guests at Le Coucou will be spoilt for choice with the impressive selection of unforgettable alpine adventures and experiences, all made possible by the knowledgeable concierge team. From hiking in the forest by snowshoe or on snowmobile, to dog or pony sledging down the slopes, magical hot-air balloon rides, visits to a yeti park, snow yoga on the slopes and paragliding amongst the clouds, the possibilities are endless. Lastly, avid ski fans should time their visit for the Ski World Cup, set to take place in M\u00e9ribel’s Chaudanne from 16th-20th March 2022.<\/p>\n

\"Maisons<\/p>\n

Once the ski season at Le Coucou ends on the 4th April, guests should follow the sunshine to the equally stylish sister properties – H\u00f4tel Crillon le Brave<\/a> (re-opening 22nd April) with a brand new spa in Provence<\/a>, and H\u00f4tel Lou Pinet<\/a> (re-opening 12th May) in Saint-Tropez<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
