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.

The main piste into town (Doron) is a minute's walk from the chalet, and the piste is accessed just above the fast six-man Adret chairlift linking you into the system without having to go to Chaudanne. During most of the season it is possible to ski directly back to the chalet. Chalet Tomkins is a ‘fun’ chalet to stay in, great for 2 or 3 families, as well as being the perfect place to unwind in tranquillity and comfort after a hard day's skiing in the heart of 'Les Trois Valleés'.
