Group travelling made easy: Where to take the family this Easter

 

Meribel is well known for its generous chalets, but Mont Tremblant is perhaps the best equipped for entertaining large groups. Sleeping up to 12 guests, the property boasts a hot tub, a heated infinity pool – which is incidentally one of the only private pools in Meribel – and a cinema room and playroom for the kids. The lucky occupants of the master bedroom also have an entire floor to themselves. The chalet comes with hosts to cater to all your needs, a chef and a driver.

 

 

Ideal for a group of families travelling together, this property is made up of three apartments that sleep 20 people between them. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, so there won’t be any long queues in the morning, either. From the outside, Eden Rock has all the hallmarks of a traditional Austrian lodge, but inside it’s fitted out with a wellness suite – which comes with a whirlpool feature – and balconies overlooking the Rendl mountains.
