Overview: chalet description: Chalet Woodpecker description

Ideal Ski Haven- Chalet Woodpecker is a cosy hideaway in the heart of Alpe d'Huez, cleverly positioned in the same building as its charming sister, Chalet Nightingale. This stylish chalet combines modern comfort with a classic Alpine feel, making it the perfect home base for a ski getaway. Just a short stroll from the lively resort centre and close to the lifts, it’s a great pick for groups looking to enjoy everything the area has to offer without the hassle.

Spacious Comfort- The first floor is where everyone can come together in this outstanding alpine retreat. The open-plan living and dining area is bright and airy, thanks to wraparound sliding doors that lead to a large balcony. Whether you're sipping coffee at breakfast or toasting a great day on the slopes in front of the woodburning stove, this space makes it easy to relax and take in the views. With seven spacious bedrooms, benefitting from new lovely wardrobes, spread across three floors, this chalet comfortably sleeps up to 15 guests. The light-wood panelling and tasteful decor add to its warm, inviting vibe. Downstairs, you'll find four twin bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower and WC. Head upstairs, and there are three more bedrooms, two twins and a triple/family room with a double bed and an extra single bed, all with en suite facilities. Two of these rooms also feature a shared balcony, perfect for soaking in the stunning mountain views.

Extra Perks- Need some post-ski TLC? The lower ground floor has a shared wellness area with sister Chalet Nightingale, complete with a sauna and indoor hot tub. It's the ultimate spot to recharge the batteries after a day of carving up the pistes. Plus, there’s free WiFi throughout and the heated boot driers in the ski storage area ensure you'll start each day warm and ready to go.

With a transfer time of around 2 hours, Alpe d'Huez is very accessible from Grenoble or Chambery airport.

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.
