CHALET TOMKINS
The original chalet was built in 1958 by Sir Edward Tomkins, one of the founding fathers of Méribel, on an old goat track which is now Route des Chalets, THE most exclusive address in Méribel. The chalet was completely rebuilt in 2002 by its new owner, Sir Edwards' daughter, who has recreated the original feel, blending the essence of the old by mixing original local artefacts and family heirlooms with luxurious furnishings.
