Comfortable chalet

We were a group of 8 (7 'children' over 25 and one 'responsible adult'), which the chalet was well able to accommodate, and had an excellent week.

Excellent Chalet, Excellent position

This Chalet was an excellent centre for our extended family ski holiday. Facilities were like home from home and a plentiful supply of logs for the fire gave us an evening focal point. Being just of the main road gave us all the night time quiet for a good nights sleep but with daylight gave easy access via the shuttle bus to ski runs and local facilities. Certainly top of the list for next season

Lovely family experience. We enjoyed skiing in the daytime and sitting in the house at night watching the fire. We thank you very much and we will keep good memories for the future.

Fantastic chalet and overall holiday in Meribel

We stayed at Nikita for 5 nights, with 4 full days skiing towards the end of March. Over the 4 days we were fortunate enough to ski all three valleys, with sunshine gracing the slopes for the majority of our visit. The village of Chandon (where the chalet is located) is very easy to find, and the shuttle bus runs frequently to Chaudanne or Meribel Village. We hired our equipment in Chaudanne, where we were given a 30% discount for staying at Nikita - the people at Precision Ski were very nice and helpful. Eating out on the slopes is generally expensive, but our favourite lunch spot (food quality & views) was Cave des Creux, which is located by going up to Courchevel 1850 and taking the Aguille de Fruit chairlift if I remember correctly. The Ronnie (le Rond Point) was always fun for a few Apres drinks, and you can then ski back down into Chaudanne to get home. There was a superb authentic French restaurant called La Mortagon that served raclette's, fondues and steaks located in La Raffort, which is one stop before Chandon on the shuttle bus. We had an amazing time and would certainly hope to return again. Lastly, much thanks must go to Alaric and Katia for being wonderful hosts.

Great location- nice to be out of the condo central

We had a great week stay at Nikita. It was as described, location was good, right next to the bus line, which made for easy access to Meribel center. Being able to ski back in to the top of the road behind the village was a nice thing too. Particularly enjoyed not being in the condo/ apartment scene of the main ski centers. Good communication by the owner too- thanks Alaric

Perfect place for alpine stay

We stayed at Chalet Nikita in Meribel and thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. The chalet is spacious, well laid out and had everything we needed – and more. It has a very home-like feel and was an excellent place to relax after a day’s skiing. Good access to the pistes and great to be able to ski back at the end of the day. What added to the pleasure of our holiday was the location. The chalet is on a pretty street in a beautiful community of small streets and houses. We have stayed at many resort-style properties over the years and really enjoyed the contrast of being in a “real home.” We have no hesitation in recommending Chalet Nikita to anyone looking for a break in a charming alpine setting.

Very large comfortable house with 10 minute ride on ski bus to the lift

Our experience at Chalet Nikita was great. Four friends from the US and I from Germany booked the house based on prior reviews and we were not disappointed. Each of us had our own room with plenty of space. The ski bus picked us up 15 ft from the house and it was a 10 min ride to the lift. We had never been skiing in Europe and were amazed at the number of lifts, vertical ascent, and on/ off piste skiing. An added bonus is the ability to park the car at the house and the washing machine and dishwasher.

3 days at Chalet Nikita

Very well located chalet: it is quite during the night, while an easy ride (by car or by bus) to the center of the resort and the ski lifts. Very confortable, with a great living room, a well equiped kitchen and 4 nice bedrooms. All good !

Clean and comfortable chalet with good access to bus to get to meribel proper

Was easy to get to as we hired our own car and drove from Geneva. In a very small village with no shops so would be worthwhile having a car as made it much easier getting bread int he morning etc. Property was clean and comfortable and as we were a mixed group with one small child worked very well. Was easy to get hold of the owner and replied to any queries very promptly. Overall great property and we had a very enjoyable time.

A great ski chalet

We stayed in chalet Nikita this last season, and unlike our last time, when we stayed in a hotel, we got to stay in a real alpine village, with old people and children, old barns and narrow alleys up between old chalets with the smell of wood smoke, and a real sense of being a community - the locals say hello, and are very willing to answer any questions [particularly if you have a couple of words of French to start the conversation!]. There was a quick and free bus that ran frequently up to the Meribel lifts. The piste was great, and we could ski back to the chalet. The bus ran late into the evening so we had no trouble going to town for food and drink. The chalet itself was great.The seven of us were very comfortable with 2 unused bedrooms. The showers and bathrooms were modern, the kitchen small but very efficient, and the sitting room a real gem - lots of cosy seats, eclectic decor, and a beautiful wood burning fireplace. Alaric, the owner, is a great character. We wished we had been able to stay longer. We'll be back.

Nikita at half term

We chose Nikita for its rustic charm, village location and bed space for our group which consisted of two beginners, two pedestrians in their late seventies, two all mountain skiers and two piste cruisers. The chalet was easy to find and we were able to park right outside. The chalet was as described in the advertisement with plenty of crockery and bedding and everything we required for a comfortable stay. The best part of the chalet was the living area which was the perfect place to relax and swap stories of our day on the piste with a bottle of wine and a log fire. The ski bus stopped conveniently right outside which was a bonus. We had great snow and were able to ski back each evening. This was great but the way back does include a red piste and the first time I missed the turn off for Chandon, which is a short off piste section. We were there at half term and our beginners did have quite a queue some evenings for the bus back down but the bus runs often and on time. Our non-skiers found plenty to do and thoroughly enjoyed the marked foot paths and trails and enjoyed the free bus and gondala trips up the mountains.

Chalet with character, history, and heart.

We stayed in this old world mountain village just down the Meribel Valley from the ski area. Our home for the stay was the Chalet Nikita, a renovated old house made comfortable without any loss of charm. It sits in the village of Chandon, a small gathering of ancient buildings on the hillside looking up at Meribel Village and down at Les Allues. It was the ideal place for our group. We are a family of four, with several adult friends joining us. We took the upstairs bedroom where we watched the stars out the skylight windows over our head, and the girls took the very small bedroom with bunks and a skylight window of their own. This still left room downstairs for a couple and three of my husband’s ski buddies. The center floor is the living space, with a large living area where we could all gather and big, informal dining room table to share our meals. The kitchen is small but well thought out, and very user-friendly. The floors are heated, so our toes were warm as we made coffee each morning. We were delighted to not need to carry our ski equipment much, as a bus stop is immediately outside. The garage downstairs is warm, so our boots, helmets and even our gloves stayed there with our skis. There is also a workbench where my husband and his ski buddies tuned and waxed skis. The owner was always responsive and very helpful, as was his local contact. We are on an extended trip beyond our stay at the ski area and had some extra logistics. As a result, we were a bit high maintenance, and both Alaric and Luke were always gracious. Negatives were the main stairs are shaded, so they get a little icy. Older people or those who can’t walk well might want to enter through the downstairs bedroom using the deck stairs facing the street. Having the bus stop next door not only means not carrying your skis, but also more street noise than we expected in a small village. And, as with all older buildings, the bathrooms were a bit small. Overall, our stay was everything we had hoped, and the Chalet Nikita was a big part of this. We would absolutely stay there again, and recommend it to others who are looking for a ski home that has character, history, and heart.

Great location and good facilities

We found this chalet rather randomly while searching for places in France and were very pleased to have chosen it. While there is little available in the village, the Ski bus stop is right outside and it's not far to Meribel itself. The Chalet was excellent, with a good layout and ideal for families or groups. The log fire was a real draw in the evenings and very relaxing. The kitchen was well presented and the whole place was very clean with everything we needed to hand. 3 Bathrooms made it much easier getting ready to hit the slopes early and we would definitely consider staying here again.
