Sno should be blasting this place all over the site! The chalet is absolutely unbelievable, I’ve been to a lot of places and ski 2 times a year and it’s ""the best place I’ve ever stayed in"".

The perfect retreat from the slopes! Nestled in the old village of Huez, just 5 minutes by gondola from the main resort, this chalet was perfect in every way.

Overview: chalet description: Chalet Sarenne description

There are few chalets in the Alps quite like the Sarenne. Boasting interior design reminiscent of a Hollywood star’s mansion, including an open plan lounge and dining area which is positively dripping with panache. Pristine, decadent and over-the-top classy, you’ll need to wear sunglasses permanently to blend in. Stepping outside the floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the view, you’re treated to a wrap-around terrace deck complete with private hot tub, just in case you didn’t feel ‘rock star’ enough! A wood burning stove adds a touch of tradition beside the ultra-modern dining area, complete with funked-out perspex chairs and a large table.

The bedrooms bring a calming influence with simple design, clean crisp lines and a modern flair. Each room features storage and a perfectly apportioned en-suite bathroom. In case your senses still need stimulating, you can relax in the wellness area which includes a traditional wood sauna and a steam room.

Please note - For the 19/20 season Chalet Sarenne will no longer be a Signature chalet. This is because of standardisation of all of properties across our resorts based on last renovation date and facilities available. You will still get all the normal benefits of a Grade 5 catered chalet.

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, ...

"Unbeleivably good! Exceptional is an understatement!"

Shane Teasdale, Cheltenham
5/ out of 5
Sno should be blasting this place all over the site! The chalet is absolutely unbelievable, I’ve been to a lot of places and ski 2 times a year and it’s ""the best place I’ve ever stayed in"". Chalet was absolutely immaculate, welcome really good. I have allergies and they catered for them excellently. The food was another level, us and the other 3 men who were staying in the chalet with us were all coming home early for the food! The two hosts who lived in - exceptional is an understatement. They were a couple and seriously couldn’t do enough for you. They made my holiday, it was a different level. We definitely got the service we paid for and then some. The first morning the guy took us all up and got our ski hire sorted for us. The hot tub didn’t work one day – this has happened before in chalets I stayed in and it usually takes 3 days to fix… he did it in one day. The lady I was staying with lost a ski off a chair lift into some deep powder, the guy in the complex went for 3 hours to look for it, got his mates to help. I went with my best mates Mrs – it blew her away. She was there with her 3 young kids and the hosts were unbelievable with the kids. She had had a hard time of it with health issues and it made a lady that had been through a lot of pain very happy. As well as us there were 3 middle aged men who loved the place too. We all ended up chipping in to give the 2 hosts a tip at the end of the week. Although it says it’s close to the gondola, if the gondola is closed it’s an effort to get to the top. You have to get a bus that only comes every hour and a half or so. Also worth knowing that the bus stops at 7pm (the chalet staff would make phone calls for taxis etc if you need them) so its difficult to get in to town after hours. This obviously wouldn’t be a problem for families, you don’t really need to go into town when you have the hot tub in the chalet. The rooms could have done with having more shelves for clothes – ended up with clothes flung all over – but the staff brought us chairs up to hang our clothes over. I’d recommend the chalet to anyone – if I had to rate it out of five I would give it a ten. I heard the same hosts might be there again this year, if they are you will never ever ever regret it. I would pay half what I paid again for the stay I had here.

"Family ski trip to Alpe d'Huez"

Vivian Annett
5/ out of 5
After many years of waiting we were at last able to take our son, Neil, and his daughters, Lola and Evie, and our daughter Philippa, and her daughters Billie and India, to ski in France. This was a once in a lifetime trip for my wife, Eva and myself, and, as we have both been retired for over 8 years, possibly our last chance. We took over the whole Chalet Sarenne, in Huez village, hosted by a wonderful young Irish couple, Danny & Nichole. This signature chalet is brilliant and we couldn't fault our hosts nor the rest of the staff who made this a real holiday to remember. Whilst Eva and I were the only experienced skiers, thanks to the excellent tuition of the ESF instructors the others, ranging in age from 41 down to 9, were able to ski some extensive green runs in the afternoon of day one, and made great progress throughout the week. On the hosts' night off, we had an excellent dinner at the Genepi restaurant in Alpe d'Huez, having been chauffeured there, and back, by one of the restaurant staff-brilliant. Truly a holiday to remember.... PS, We have already booked to go back to Alpe d'Huez next year, in Chalet Amelie.

"The Perfect Retreat from the Slopes"

Stuart Jaenicke
5/ out of 5
The perfect retreat from the slopes! Nestled in the old village of Huez, just 5 minutes by gondola from the main resort, this chalet was perfect in every way. Very spacious rooms with all you would need plus a few little extras. The lounge comfortably fitted 8 on the plush sofas. Hot-tub, sauna and steam room..... what more can you say. The chalet is a very short, 1 minute walk from the gondola but beware....!!! The gondola shuts at 5 and it’s a bus ride back or an extremely long and winding walk. If the blue run 'Village' is open then you can ski all the way down to just short of the gondola station... The wide sweeping curves of the 'Village' run made for the perfect end to a perfect days skiing.
