The Ski & Boot lockers are really handy to have.
They are located at the top of the bubble station that you take from Les Allues to La Chaudanne (the main Meribel lift station, where all the lifts depart from and connect to the 3 valleys.)
Each locker has a ventilated drying rack for your boots and comfortably holds 3 sets of skis/boards.
They are both reasonably priced and practical.
You can change as soon as you finish skiing and continue your après ski in comfortable shoes.
You may want to wander round Meribel centre, go to the lively après ski bars, check out the selection of shops, or relax at the Olypmic centre where they have swimming pool, spa facilities, ice skating, bowling & climbing wall.
Or simply drop your kit off at the lockers, so you never have to carry it during the week.
Ski Blanc reserves the ski lockers for all our guests in advance.
We check with you on arrival at the chalet, how many your require.
There is no obligation to take them and we cancel the ones that aren’t used.
Parents with 2 small children will be able to squeeze into one.
If you do know how many you require, just advise us on our online booking form.
1 locker = 3 sets of skis/boards & boots, 2 sets of keys & 10€ key deposit |
