Flat in the Haute Savoie (Lot 1)

You are welcome to take the flat any time during the summer for 1 or 2 weeks by arrangement. However the shops, restaurants, etc are only open during the French school holidays, i.e. the end of June until early September.

Outside these dates, it is necessary to go to Méribel (about 2 miles away) for food. There is a supermarket close to the flat, and several restaurants. There are local markets in Moutiers and Méribel on certain days of the week.

Summer facilities include walking, tennis and golf. Some lifts are open, and it is possible to buy a ticket, including a family one, for the lifts which also includes the swimming pool in Méribel, ice skating and grass ski-ing. There is an adventure playground nearby.
