The Louisa is a really nice chalet. It was very clean and everything worked as it should. Certainly the room my son and I shared was more than adequate. For the amount of people staying there, the dining area was fine but the seating area was quite cramped when everyone was sitting around in the evenings. There... + more

Chalet hosts Jess and Charlotte certainly worked very hard to give us great food and wine in this "superior" chalet and, with plenty of snow making the ski-in/ski-out promise a reality, we had a good week. Chalet Louisa is a long way from any shops or bars, so any trip out in the evening involved a long walk or... + more

Great chalet, good position, food and hosts. Resort has a great range of skiing and even on cloudy snowy days we found good runs. Even better when the sun was out. But, the boot room security on this chalet which gives access to everywhere, with 4 keys for 16 guests and the door requires to be locked and unlock... + more

With a transfer time of around 2 hours, Alpe d’Huez is very accessible from Grenoble airport. Established in 1936, it was the first resort in France to be installed with a fully operational ski lift. The resort lies in the Grandes Rousses Massif domain and it is partnered by the smaller mountain villages of Auris-en-Oisans, Villard Reculas, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany and La Garde, all of which are connected by a free transport system. The slopes are mainly south facing and as a result the area, known as “L’ile ...
Alpe d’Huez has had sun and snow galore since 1936. And with a whopping 52km of greens, this is an excellent place for beginners. The easiest skiing is above the village and Les Bergers and there are plenty of wide open runs underneath the DMC gondola, many being ‘beginners only’ so you can learn without too much traffic. If you’re feeling confident, try some of the blue runs coming down from the main mountain and the signal sector back into Alpe d’Huez. There is a really impressive selection of runs for ...
If you like live music, try the Underground in Vieil Alpe, which combines a pleasant atmosphere with bands playing most nights. Smithys tavern is a proven success in the neighbouring resort of Les Deux Alpes and the Smithy’s in Alpe D’Huez has drinks promotions and healthy portions of Tex-Mex to match. If you can’t bear to miss an important game whilst in France then The Sports Bar is the best spot to watch live sports. L’igloo is the place to go if you want to party late into the night. Alpe d’huez has a...

"Really nice, ski out chalet"

Mrs Fry, West Sussex
4/ out of 5
The Louisa is a really nice chalet. It was very clean and everything worked as it should. Certainly the room my son and I shared was more than adequate. For the amount of people staying there, the dining area was fine but the seating area was quite cramped when everyone was sitting around in the evenings. There was only a little L shaped sofa and a coffee table, then another small one. Once some people had monopolised it there were only dining room seats left. Being able to ski in and out was great and worked really well, even though it was late in the season. Some of the guests were fairly novice and as the run is gentle, anyone who could just about snowplough would have managed it. The only downside would be that it’s a 10-15 walk into Alpe d’Huez (or a bus, but sometimes they just drove past us without stopping). Our two hostesses were fabulous, I have done a lot of chalet skiing and they were some of the best. They didn’t live in the accommodation (which is what I’m used to from chalet holidays) but it all worked very well and I would recommend it.

"A GREAT STAY"

Had a great stay in chalet Louisa. Really lovely food from Charlotte and Jess. Jess and Charlotte were great and put up with our group well. Our rep was very friendly and welcoming. He made the collection of our lift passes very simple at the beginning. However there was a little confusion with our Wednesday meal that was booked. The taxi didn't show up for the meal and it was booked for the wrong number of people. But it was fairly easily sorted. A really lovely chalet and was very clean. A great holiday!! Thank you.

Chalet hosts Jess and Charlotte certainly worked very hard to give us great food and wine in this "superior" chalet and, with plenty of snow making the ski-in/ski-out promise a reality, we had a good week. Chalet Louisa is a long way from any shops or bars, so any trip out in the evening involved a long walk or a taxi ride. The free night bus stops running after 9.30pm. As noted in previous reviews, the soundproofing between bedrooms was very poor and the rooms themselves were quite small for a "superior" chalet with no cupboards in our room to hide away valuables. The dining table was cramped with 16 of us and apparently should seat 18! A fair percentage of plates and mugs were chipped, again not what you'd expect in a "superior" chalet. Security relied on guests actively locking the door behind them when going in or out, rather than a keypad entry or similar which would have been safer and more secure.

"Excellent Chalet, superb resort but a problem"

Reginald Williams

Great chalet, good position, food and hosts. Resort has a great range of skiing and even on cloudy snowy days we found good runs. Even better when the sun was out. But, the boot room security on this chalet which gives access to everywhere, with 4 keys for 16 guests and the door requires to be locked and unlocked by a key, is both dangerous and insecure, as you can be locked in or the door left open day and night.

"Away from the noice & by the slopes"

Sno man, Sno Staff

For a secluded ski experience without being remote, choose this popular ski-in ski-out (under standard conditions) mountain home. The balance of peace and immediate access to the slopes means you’ll get to piste as quickly as you can get to the breakfast table. At a sacrifice, this does mean you’re further from the après experience- a twenty minute walk away- but it is worth the hike. See the town come alive and light up from this lofty position on the mountain, and enjoy the full panoramic views of the resort and mountain.
