Overview: chalet description: Chalet Philippe description

Chalet Philippe occupies the ground and first floor of this building where we operate three chalets. The location is perfect with close proximity to the slopes and to the ice rink and indoor swimming pools (included with the lift pass) as well as local shops and bars.
The interior style of the Philippe is classically Alpine featuring warm wood panelling but with modern features throughout, and good quality en suite shower rooms. There is a welcoming fireplace in the lounge and a bright and spacious dining room.
Three of the twin bedrooms have bunk beds which are recommended for children under 12 only, so it’s a great choice chalet for several families to enjoy a ski week together.

The entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor where the ski room with heated boot warmers can be found, as well as the wellness centre with sauna and hot tub for the exclusive use of guests. An internal staircase (which is normally locked) connects the Philippe with the Christian chalet on the second floor.This can be opened up for groups of 22-32 booking both these chalets and arrangements can be made to eat dinner together in the Philippe’s spacious dining room on the ground floor.

Meals: Chalet Philippe food & drink

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff involved in food preparation are trained to the City & Guilds qualification – Level 2 in Food Safety during the pre-season training course. There is a continental breakfast is every morning and a breakfast hot option, afternoon tea and evening dinners are provided for six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff day off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff day off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

Children's High Tea

In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 11 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

In the evenings our hosts will cook you a three-course adult only meal six nights a week. This starts with a glass of prosecco followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert – with unlimited complimentary red, white and rosé wine during service! There is also an option for vegetarians, please warn us in advance.

One of these meals will be a regional meal with the menu depending on which country you are staying in.

On the staff one night off per week just a continental breakfast is provided and it’s a great opportunity for you to experience some local restaurants in your resort. Speak to your resort representative for recommendations and help with reservations.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our properties – just advise us at time of bookings so that we can ensure that our staff can prepare. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Our Chalet Hosts will discuss your dietary requirements with you upon arrival to the chalet or Chalet Hotel.

Christmas and New Year

All of our chalets and Chalet Hotels will serve a traditional Christmas dinner with a glass of Champagne to start off the evening. This will include roast turkey with all of the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats plus a fantastic Alpine atmosphere in which to enjoy the day.

A special festive menu will also be served on New Year’s Eve, alongside the added bonus that many resorts put on fantastic firework displays. A glass of fizz, whilst watching fireworks over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.. what better way to bring in the New Year!

Our Quality Wines

We are very proud of our wine selection for chalets and Chalet Hotels, which combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full-bodied reds, for a variety of palates. We select our wines in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however, the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!

We update Chalet Philippe's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

With a transfer time of around 2 hours, Alpe d'Huez is very accessible from Grenoble or Chambery 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. 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 "...
Alpe d’Huez has had sun and snow galore since 1936, and with the culmination of around 20 Million Euros of improvements due to come to fruition for 2021, there is a huge ski area to be explored. With a whopping 52km of greens, this is an excellent place for beginners. The easiest skiing is above the village and Les Bergers. 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 bl...
If you like live music, try the Underground in Vieil Alpe. It combines a pleasant atmosphere with bands playing most nights. Smithy’s has drinks promotions and healthy portions of Tex-Mex food to match. If you can’t bear to miss an important game whilst in France, O’Sharkey’s 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 all of the usual culinary delights you’d expect in the mountains. To sample some traditional French food, ...

Chalet Philippe is an excellent chalet! It was well organised, the food was great and the staff were really friendly. Lots of fun was had by everyone!

"Perfect balance of peace and access"

Ski to within a few hundred yards of the chalet doorstep and stay close enough to the action for great après ski but far enough out of the very centre to avoid the busiest and less quiet areas. If you’re taking more than 12 SNO mates ask about booking with adjoining Chalet Christian for twice the space and twice the fun! Super-efficient hosts and a snug atmos make this a highly recommended holiday home from home.

"Chalet Philippe's brilliant location"

Kiah, SNO staff

I visited here in 2014 and the chalet is in a great location. You can ski in/ski out with good snow cover, but it's also conveniently close to the bucket lift, just 2-3 minutes walk downhill. This lift has a mid station meaning you can access the main town or carry on to the pistes really easily. The chalet is in the "old town" part of Alpe d'Huez which is a little quieter, but it's only a 5-10 minute walk to the bars and livelier areas. The old town also has a nice selection of restaurants (Le Roy Ladre is an amazing pizzaria) and a couple of bars. It's a lovely, traditional chalet with a few modern touches and there is a good sized hot tub and a sauna. The rooms are a decent size and all are en-suite, there are a couple of family bunk rooms also. The food was really good quality with lots of variety and there was free flowing wine available during dinner, what more could you want?!
