We bought the property when our children (two girls and two boys) were 9, 16, 18 and 19. We all love skiing and it is a brilliant way of keeping the family together (note the gap between the youngest and the other three) - It is a proper village with farmers and locals living in it yet the access to the main meribel resort is very easy. You can ski back to the door along a pretty route through the trees for most of the season.
The alps are gorgeous in summer and we love going there to walk and play golf as well as the children in the past doing canyoning, white water rafting and all manner of daring things down/up mountains.
