Chalet La Chapelle, Alpe d'Huez, France

As one of the five chalets in Le Village, Chalet La Chapelle benefits from an enviable location in the wonderful resort of Alpe d'Huez. The chalet looks out over an attractive cobbled courtyard on one side and the Rond Point des pistes the other, with two pistes on either side of the chalet, it's the dream ski in ski out location. 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.

La Chapelle is one of our largest chalets in Le Village, with seven comfortable en-suite bedrooms which can accommodate up to fourteen guests. The interior of the chalet is attractively finished, with stone and timber walls in fitting with classic alpine architecture, plus high vaulted ceilings, a roaring fireplace and wonderful spa facilities for a bit of added luxury.

Entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor, with a spacious ski and boot room upon entering, providing a lovely space to keep all your equipment safe, warm and dry. There is a downstairs WC just next to the staircase as well as an indoor spa area, complete with sauna and Jacuzzi what better way to unwind after a tiring day on the ski slopes!

There are five twin bedrooms (200 x 90 cm) and two double bedrooms (160 x 200cm), on the ground floor both bedrooms are twin and with en-suite bathrooms and balcony. There is just one bedroom on the first floor, it's a twin with en-suite bathroom and balcony. On the second floor you will find two twins, each with en-suite bathroom and balcony, plus a very spacious double bedroom with en-suite shower room and balcony. The final bedroom on the third floor is arguably the pick of the bunch, with huge amounts of space and lovely vaulted ceilings in the eaves of the building, plus an en-suite bathroom and balcony overlooking the courtyard and Les Bergers pistes beyond.

On the first floor you'll find the large and fully equipped kitchen, complete an oven, four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Senseo machine and coffee percolator, so you'll have everything required to rustle up a stunning meal for your friends and family.

The kitchen sits next to the open plan living and dining space which has a beautiful stone fireplace as the focal point of the room. The fire is surrounded by a lovely corner sofa area, providing a lovely space in which to relax in front of the flat screen television, or enjoy a game of cards with friends and family. The dining room is spacious, with a lovely solid wooden dining table with ample sating for all guests to fit around.

Premium Contactless Catering Service

Your chalet will be ready on arrival - beds made, dinner ready and fridges stocked*, wine-cellars replenished, skis and lift passes all booked. But you won't see us. We'll be at the end of the phone, but there will be no contact, unless you need it. We will visit your chalet mid-week to give it a full clean and change of towels, but this shall be done during the day, whilst you're out on the slopes. You and your family will be safe and looked-after, as we work in the background, providing everything you need.

Our contactless catering service comes with the choice of two pricing options, a fixed menu with food and drink included in the price, and our self catered option which does not include food or drink, so you are free to tailor-make your holiday meals on a budget that suits you.

For those looking for a simple packaged chalet price, we are offering an all-inclusive price, which includes rental of the chalet and your food and drink for the week. Included will be breakfast, snacks to take with you skiing, afternoon tea and cakes/snacks, pre-dinner nibbles a three course dinner on 6 out of 7 nights, with a selection of after dinner cheeses, plus champagne for your first night, a kir for before dinner and unlimited wine and some beers. We have prepared a delicious menu for the week, with a mix of ready prepared meals from a local delicatessen and easy to cook dishes or sides. All that will be required from you is to pop a few things in the oven and throw together a few ingredients to make a simple salad, or steam a few vegetables as sides to your main meal.

Perhaps you want the freedom to choose your own menus, or perhaps you'd prefer to eat out more than one evening during the week, or you just love to cook yourself and enjoy the holidays where you have time to do this in a relaxed way. That's where our self catering service comes in. As an alternative to the service detailed above, we will also offer a lower rate, which does not include the food and drink for the week.

Our aim is to provide the safest possible environment for a ski holiday, whilst staying as affordable as possible. The new way to holiday will be by enjoying the facilities, food and beverages but without the staff waiting on you hand and foot. That will keep things safe and affordable. However, for those in search of a little more luxury, we are able to provide drivers, chefs, daily cleaning, ski lessons etc, all of which can be discussed at the time of booking or with our concierge service prior to arrival.

*Please note that for the self catered option, ski hire and lift passes come at additional costs and are not included in the chalet price. Ski hire and lift passes can be booked in advance with our preferential rates. For our fixed menu option, the price does not include ski hire and lift passes, but it does include breakfast and afternoon tea for 7 days, plus a 3-course dinner with beer and wine for 6 days.
