They say what goes up must come down, but having your head in the clouds is part and parcel of the lifestyle here. Perched atop Méribel resort, the hotel cultivates what it really means to live like a local, mirroring the alpine coucou bird with breathtaking bird’s-eye views of the landscape. Nesting chalet-style on a blue run, its ski-in ski-out location is ideal for guests wishing to explore The Three Valleys – even fledglings ready to spread their wings and fly the nest.
Swapping extravagance for playful minimalism, Le Coucou’s design is mid-century modern with a distinct alpine twist – veritably à la mode, though their personal touches are what we love most. Those seeking somewhere bold yet refined will feel right at home here.
Family-orientated by nature, all birds of a feather are catered for here, with children eagerly flocking to Le Coucou’s own kid’s club upon receiving their handwritten invitations. For parents gifted some peace and quiet, the Tata Harper organic spa is another step towards complete serenity, topped off with a romantic meal for two.
