Private Chef in Méribel

Q: How many guests do the rates cover?

Package rates apply for 1 to 10 guests. Beyond that: • 11 to 15 guests: a €100/day supplement is added to the chosen package. • 16 to 20 guests: I recommend adding a server at €220/day to maintain table service quality. For groups larger than 20 guests, please contact me directly and we will size the team (chef, kitchen assistants, servers) to your format.

Q: How much does a chalet chef in Méribel cost?

Packages run from €400/day for 1 meal of your choice (Essential) to €450/day for 2 meals (Prestige) and €600/day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and an after-ski snack (Exclusive), for 1 to 10 guests. I do the shopping myself; groceries are billed at cost, with receipts. Travel and the chef's accommodation are extra, detailed in your personalised quote.

Q: What is the minimum booking period?

The minimum is 4 days. Most of my clients book for the full week (Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday depending on the chalet rental).

Q: Where do you shop for ingredients in Méribel?

I prioritise local producers: the Méribel dairy cooperative for Beaufort, the Brides-les-Bains market on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Les Allues artisan producers. For the rest, I supplement at Carrefour Montagne or Sherpa as needed.

Q: Do you also work in Courchevel and Val Thorens?

Yes, I cover the entire 3 Valleys ski area: Méribel, Courchevel (1550, 1650, 1850), La Tania, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens. Don't hesitate to contact me for a tailored quote.

Q: How do you handle allergies and dietary requirements?

During our initial discussion, I note all allergies, intolerances and preferences for each member of your group. Vegetarian, gluten-free, seafood allergy... I adapt to everything and ensure everyone can fully enjoy every meal.

Q: Where do you stay during the booking?

Ideally, I stay in a room in your chalet (staff room or spare room). If that's not possible, I arrange to stay nearby; this is discussed when preparing the quote.

A French chef in your chalet in Méribel

Méribel is the beating heart of the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski area. Exceptional chalets nestled between pine trees and slopes, a discerning family clientele, and that authentic Savoyard atmosphere that makes ski holidays so magical.

But after a day tackling the Piste de l'Ours and Mont Vallon, who wants to cook? To book a packed restaurant at 7pm with exhausted children? To juggle between shopping at Carrefour Montagne and preparing dinner?

I come and set up in your chalet for the duration of your stay. You come back from skiing, the afternoon snack is ready. You relax by the fire, dinner is being prepared. You enjoy your holiday, quite simply. Your rental becomes a fully catered chalet, with menus written for your family alone.

Why hire a private chef in Méribel?

The real reasons families hire a chef in their 3 Valleys chalet

600 km of slopes await you

The world's largest ski area. After 6 hours exploring Courchevel, Val Thorens and Méribel, nobody has the energy to cook. You deserve to relax.

Restaurants impossible with children

In Méribel, the good restaurants are fully booked by 6pm. Earliest seating at 7:30pm. With children exhausted from skiing, it's a recipe for disaster.

Grocery shopping = lost ski time

Carrefour Montagne or Sherpa packed out, 45-minute queues, average products... Meanwhile, everyone else is on the Saulire slopes.

You want real gastronomy

Not an industrial fondue with pre-packed grated cheese. Real Beaufort AOP from the Méribel Cooperative, farmhouse Reblochon, exceptional local produce.

A typical day in Méribel with your chef

How your ski holiday unfolds when everything is taken care of

7:30am - 8:30am

Mountain breakfast

You wake up to the smell of fresh bread and grilled bacon. Creamy scrambled eggs, maple syrup pancakes, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juice. Fuel to tackle the black runs of Mont Vallon.

For the children, I also prepare crêpes and homemade Nutella toast, their favourite fuel before ski school.

8:30am - 4:30pm

You ski, I take care of everything

While you're flying down the Piste de l'Ours or exploring Courchevel 1850, I shop at the Brides-les-Bains market, prepare dinner, and set the table. Your chalet awaits.

4:30pm - 5:30pm

Après-ski snack

Back from skiing? A homemade hot chocolate awaits you with a Savoie blueberry tart. The children devour, the adults unwind. The fire crackles in the fireplace.

This is often THE favourite moment for families: that gentle transition between effort and relaxation.

7:00pm - 9:00pm

Gourmet dinner at the chalet

Savoyard fondue with Beaufort AOP, farmhouse Reblochon tartiflette, or a gourmet menu with scallops and beef fillet... Whatever you fancy that day. Children eat at 7pm, adults follow on at their leisure.

9:30pm

Kitchen cleaned, nothing for you to do

Washing up, tidying, preparing for tomorrow: all taken care of. You can enjoy the jacuzzi or simply collapse on the sofa by the fire.
