A foodie and luxury chalet experience like no other
Over the past 17 years we have been busy refining the recipe for our catered holidays to offer a service that we believe truly outshines others, building on our key values of offering delicious food and impeccably friendly service, whilst listening to, and acting on what makes our guests tick. From initial enquiry, to the morning we wave goodbye, you’ll be seamlessly and meticulously looked after by the F&P team.
Pre-arrival
From the moment you decide to holiday with us we will make sure your experience is one to remember for all of the right reasons. Our Méribel based concierge team will make sure no element of your trip is left untouched: from organising ski lessons, child care, transfers, lunches or anything in between, we will point you in the right direction using only our trusted partners. Our chefs will call you pre-holiday to make sure all your dietary requirements, firm favourites, dislikes or special occasions are catered for.
All our chefs have had training from the team of Michelin starred restaurant Trinity, in Clapham, and they’re eager to get their aprons on and create just the kind of food you love, whatever your diet, to start the day and when you come off the mountain for dinner.
When you arrive
As you step from your transfer, we’ll take your luggage; make you feel at home; organise ski fitting in the chalet; have your passes ready and waiting; and if there’s time, get you up the mountain on the same day. And whatever time you arrive, there’ll be tea and cake or champagne and canapés ready and waiting for you. Fires will be lit, wine opened, and the aromas coming from the kitchen, can mean only one thing. You’re on holiday.
Breakfast
Is quite the feast! For five mornings there is a chef and host catering to your every need. On these days choose to wake up the French way with croissants, pain au chocolates or freshly baked baguettes. Or if a full English is more your thing, build it your way with eggs (how you like them), English bacon and all the trimmings. The daily changing chef’s special is not to be missed and ranges from eggs benedict to a superfood breakfast bowl. If you still have space there is porridge, granola, yoghurts and fruit as well to top you up.
On the other two mornings the only thing missing is the chef to cook you a hot breakfast but we can guarantee the rest of the breakfast options will keep you fully filled up until lunch. Of course every morning the caffeine flows freely all morning with a selection of Clipper teas and artisan coffee. And that’s you set for a day of exploring the Three Valleys!
Skiing
Hit the slopes either on your own or with one of our recommended ski schools. Don’t forget your eleven o’clock hot chocolate stop, add a drop of rum if that is what tickles your fancy. Next up lunch! Being foodies we have a long list of our recommended restaurants here.
Après & Afternoon Tea
When you have had enough, ski back to your chalets or stop by The Lodge Du Village or The Rond-Point to witness some of the resorts best après bands. Once you have finished dancing, take the short walk back to your chalet to relax those aching muscles in the hot tub or sauna after having a slice of freshly baked cake or savoury treat and a good cup of tea.
Evening Meals
After a long soak in the bath fall into your comfy chalet sofas in front of an open fire. Our experienced host will pour you a glass of sparkling or open a nice cold beer for while you taste some delicious canapés. Next up our professional chefs will take you through a delightful culinary experience of starter, mains and dessert, of course paired with our Verre Gourmand wines. To finish off the evening you will be left to sample an array of our favourite French cheeses. Round off the evening with a Nespresso coffee or a herbal tea before retiring to your very enticing bed.
