Le Coucou Méribel, situated in the enchanting Three Valleys region, is poised to welcome guests back on December 12th, unveiling a meticulously crafted experience tailored for families. This five-star sanctuary, celebrated for its inviting ambience and sophisticated décor by esteemed designer Pierre Yovanovitch, harmoniously blends the charm of alpine tradition with contemporary luxury. With an impressive inventory of 55 rooms, including 39 family suites and 2 private chalets, Le Coucou stands out as an exemplary destination for creating cherished family memories.
A Warm Welcome for Young Travellers
From the moment families arrive, children are seamlessly integrated into the experience. Each young guest is treated as a VIP, receiving a special invitation to explore the enchanting Kid’s Club, a realm designed to ignite their imagination and foster learning. Upon entering their rooms, children find a personalised welcome card alongside a sweet treat, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. As part of their tailored experience, young visitors are presented with an array of gifts and surprises, including slippers, hats, neck warmers, and other ski holiday essentials.
Family-Centric Services for All Ages
Dining at Le Coucou is an inclusive experience, with restaurants offering menus that cater specifically to younger diners. Children can indulge in balanced yet playful dishes, with the added delight of personalising their meals. The ski room team, spearheaded by Louis and his dedicated colleagues, ensures that children are equipped with the finest gear, thoughtfully selected for comfort and safety on the slopes. This typically mundane process is transformed into an enjoyable activity, as children are encouraged to participate in trying on different pairs of boots and skis, all while receiving encouragement from the friendly and attentive staff.
Engaging Activities to Inspire Creativity
Every day promises a series of engaging activities designed to stimulate children’s creativity. Artistic and educational workshops will enrich their afternoons, while evening movie sessions paired with popcorn offer a delightful way to unwind. During school holidays, Le Coucou elevates the festive spirit with lively dance parties every Friday, as well as entertaining performances crafted by the children themselves, ensuring that every moment is filled with joy and excitement. Additionally, young guests receive tokens upon check-in to order imaginative mocktails, allowing them to partake in the grown-up experience, with opportunities to join workshops on crafting their favourite drinks.
Celebrating Achievements on Fridays
Fridays at Le Coucou are particularly special, as Piou Piou, the beloved mascot of the French Ski School (ESF), graces the premises to present medals to young skiers. This celebratory event, known as the champions’ snack, takes place outdoors in front of the ski room or at the Kid’s Club, weather permitting. This delightful tradition enhances the children’s experience, immersing them further into the joys of mountain life.
Introducing Cooking Workshops and Gourmet Adventures for 2024
The 2024 season will see the introduction of cooking workshops, inviting children to explore the art of baking through delightful experiences such as creating shortbread cookies. These interactive sessions are designed to awaken young palates and encourage creativity. To conclude each day on a high note, special evenings filled with movies, games, and bowling outings will be organised by the Kid’s Club, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching experience for all.
