What's so special about staying in chalet accommodation?

Once you've been skiing or snowboarding and stayed chalet style you'll never look back - it's definitely the only way to go!

It could be the plentiful supply of great food and wine, the top facilities or the stunning chalet buildings and locations - but we think it's more to do with the people and the atmosphere that they create. The ambience and buzz from a chalet full of skiers and boarders is special and complements the whole mountain experience.

We have many people staying with us who come individually - but they rarely spend time on their own once they arrive! The atmosphere is about people making friends, enjoying the days spent skiing and the great company in the evenings.

The day starts with a full breakfast and then it's out onto the slopes. Our guests often go out skiing together, sometimes taking advantage of orientation with our Ski Team where people will mix and match depending on abilities.

Afternoon tea with fresh home-baked cakes will be waiting on your return. A tasty and generous 3-course dinner with wine is the main social event of the evening, with all guests eating together and discussing the day's events out on the snow. After desert and coffee you can retire to the lounge or bar where you'll be able to drink and chat until the small hours. We also have SKY TV, DVDs, videos, an N64 and board games for those wishing to chill out after their day in the mountains. For guest's with more stamina there are numerous bars and clubs to visit in La Clusaz too.

The Lodge is completely non-smoking throughout.

For the veggies amongst you- we have now been approved by the Vegetarian Society - one of very few chalets in France to receive the accreditation. If you would like to take advantage of our approved vegetarian menu then contact us for special details.
