Chalet Le Manoir, Alpe d'Huez, France

Le Manoir is located in Le Village, an exclusive development at the top of Alpe d'Huez, located in an enviable position right next to the pistes and the main lifts of the resort. In fact you can ski right back to your door at Le Manoir, as the piste runs directly in front of the chalet from the Rond Points des pistes, whilst behind the chalet is a welcoming and attractive cobbled courtyard between the five chalets. The town centre is a pleasant 10 minutes' walk away, where you'll find a vibrant resort, with plenty of great bars, restaurants and shopping, plus an outdoor ice rink and swimming pool. If you don't fancy the walk into town, then take the aerial route as the nearby caged gondola lift can transport you to different parts of the resort.

Chalet Le Manoir would make a perfect family ski holiday; get together with aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents in this spacious property with six bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests. With the nursery pistes just outside, it's a great choice if you have children. Don't let that put off groups of adults though, it would also make a great base for a trip with friends, looking to enjoy this vibrant resort which has a great selection of bars, restaurants and après-ski notably with the world renowned Folie Douce above the Bergers area of resort.

The main entrance to the chalet is on the first floor, with a ski and boot room located upon entry. There is a living-cum-dining room located on this floor, which is bathed in light from the vast picture windows. The openness of the room gives a light and airy feel, whilst the focal point of the room, the beautiful stone fireplace gives a warmth which is complimented by the comfortable red sofas. The lovely solid dining table has ample space to seat all the guests, whilst an open window to the kitchen allows those cooking to remain sociable with those in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine and coffee percolator.

The luxurious and spacious bedrooms are spread across the three floors, with a mix of double (160cm x 200cm) and twins (90 x 200cm) each with a balcony and some of which actually spill straight onto the piste. The first bedroom is on the ground floor and has twin beds and an en-suite bathroom and WC, there is another twin on the first floor with en-suite shower and WC, whilst on the second floor there are three twin rooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and one with an en-suite shower room and then the final master bedroom with a double bed and en-suite shower and WC.

There are spa facilities on the ground floor with a sauna and hot tub. From the hot tub you can open up the doors for stunning views of the piste in front of the chalet. It's the perfect way to unwind after a tiring day of skiing and sure to ease any aches and pains away.

There is free WIFI throughout the chalet, so whether you need to do some work whilst away, or just fancy streaming your favourite show, you'll be well looked after. For those driving to the resort, there is underground covered parking available.
