Chalet du Berger is very much in the French family home style, so has great character, but we'd be kidding if we said it was really plush. It offers great value for money for skiers who are simply interested in skiing rather than pampering, because, of course, you still get the same excellent service.
In Autumn 2016 we made some very practical improvements to this great value chalet:
Boot warmers, new entrance styling, new bathroom stylings, new storage area.
The location of Du Berger is perfect, with the Solaise cable car only a 4 minute walk away. There's usually enough snow to ski back very close by to the chalet.
The lounge/dining area has a warm atmosphere and mountain views from the balcony. Some bedrooms are smaller than others (just ask when you call us) but all have ensuite bathrooms and plenty of hot water!
We offer a generous discount for filling the chalet, so if budget is a key factor but you don't want to compromise on the ski area, Du Berger is definitely worth a look.

Breakfast
You need a hearty breakfast before your day on the slopes. Breakfast is served 8am-9am.
There will be a tempting range of continental options, fresh crusty baguette, porridge and cooked breakfast. We serve it alongside the good stuff… Heinz baked beans and ketchup, HP sauce plus real teabags from the UK!
Afternoon tea
Tuck into tempting treats after your day on the mountain. Help yourself to a freshly baked cake or biscuits, baguette and jams, tea and coffee which will be laid out for your return to the chalet.
Dinner
Canapes and fizz are served at 7:30pm as you unwind and relax for the evening. The fizz is from our friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret and is made just down the valley!
Dinner service is informal as we want you to feel at home in your chalet. Enjoy a home-made three course dinner using fantastic fresh produce.
Relax with coffee and chocolates after dinner… if you have any room left!
Wine
We serve unlimited red, white and rose wine with dinner, from bottles not boxes!
If you’re looking for an extra special treat we also have an upgrade Wine Lover’s Package. Mix and match 6 bottles of wine or 4 bottles of prosecco for £49pp.
Special diets
If there’s anything you’d rather not eat, whether for moral, sensory or digestive reasons, please let us know before you travel. We won’t charge you a penny extra.
Children
We can serve dinner early for your youngsters who will likely be worn out after a day in the snow.
Your Chalet Host will prepare home-made, nutritious and fun dinners the kids will love!
Please let us know if you would like early dinner times or have special requests by calling us.
Chalet host days off
Your Chalet Host has two days off during the week (usually Tuesday and Friday). We will lay out continental breakfast and afternoon tea to help yourself to.
In the evening, it’s a great chance to sample the local cuisine and your Guest Services Manager in resort will be happy to make a restaurant reservation for you.
