Winter Season a resounding success

Finally our winter season has come to a close, although the snow continues to fall up on the slopes. It has been one of the best years for snowfall in years and those still in the resort are enjoying empty slopes with unseasonable amounts of fresh powder. The slopes are going to close this weekend with a base of almost 2 meters of snow still about 200 meters. Chances are that conditions will be fantastic for the start of the Summer Skiing in June. We couldn't have asked for a better first season. 13 weeks of happy guests and plenty of bookings for the summer already. All the renovations to the Chalet have generally held up well, with only the usual ware and tare to be taken care of.

We are now cracking on with the next stage of renovations, generally concentrating on the outside of the building. Today our landscaper arrived with heavy machinery to construct a retaining rock garden to neaten up and secure the car park. He will then address our flooding problems in front of the property by installing underground drains and finishing with a gravel driveway. He is also delivering loads of top soil, to we can tidy up around the decking with a lawn. I have started to landscape other areas of the garden and have created more space for a lawn and raised flower beds. Fingers crossed, the garden will be in full bloom for the first guests and for our wedding in May.

Catered Chalet Alpe D'Huez, Les Deux Alpes

What a great year to open for Summer business with the Tour De France once again finishing a stage on the famous Alpe D’Huez climb and starting again the following day in Bourg D'Oisans. The chalet is purfectly suited for Cyclists, mountain bikers and hikers alike. Currently our boot room has ample storage for bikes and with our proposed garage extension likely to go ahead in the spring, there will be even more room with and a workshop.


The recently renovated Lodge comfortably sleep 9 guests in four bedrooms all in new single or double beds with no bunk beds. Weather permitting meals are served outside on our new 28meter deck. We are situated in the valley near Le Bourg D'Oisans, the base of the Alpe D'Huez climb and a number of other classic Alpine tours. Your hosts Will and Alex who live in an ajoining appartment are here to help with any queries regarding your stay.

Catered Chalet Les Deux Alpes

Well the winter is well and truly upon us and the Lodge is up and running. After a major push in the autumn we finally have our apartment finished a brand new heating system and wood burning stove installed. Bookings have been pouring in to the extent that we are fully booked up until the end of the winter season. We are now concentrating our efforts on the summer cycling and mountain biking season. To date we have had five groups of guests and from their comments everyone is very happy about our service. The Hot Tub is getting really good use which we are pleased about considering the amount that we paid to have it installed. Even the Landrover is behaving itself, although we still may trade it in in the spring in place of a mini bus which will be better suited to do airport transfers. Basil the dog loves the snow and has found a local girlfriend.
