Chalet La Maison, Alpe d'Huez, France

La Maison is one of the chalets located in Le Village area of Alpe d'Huez, with a truly superb location. Chalet La Maison is ski in ski out, sitting at the apex of two pistes which run alongside the development in this part of the town. From almost every window in the chalet, there are uninterrupted views of the ski slopes, looking out towards the Les Bergers sector of the resort. The lifts and nursery slopes are both right outside of the chalet, so La Maison is the perfect location even if you've never skied before. 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 little caged gondola lift can transport you to different parts of the resort.

Chalet La Maison is the smallest of our five chalets in Le Village, with four bedrooms sleeping up to 8 guests. It's an attractively furnished chalet that is stylishly decorated whilst in keeping with a traditional Alpine stone and timber property. The walls are clad in timber and the ceiling beams are exposed throughout, whilst the soft furnishings and elegant furniture gives a warmth to this property that makes you feel right at home.

The main entrance to the chalet is on the first floor, with a ski room located next to the entrance providing excellent storage for all of your equipment. There are stairs to your right as you enter which lead to the other floors, but if you take a left, you'll enter the lovely open plan living and dining space. The living room is elegant and spacious, with comfortable sofas and a gorgeous fireplace with a lovely stone hearth and timber clad chimney. There is a flat screen television in the corner of the room, so why not sit back and enjoy a good film in front of the roaring fire. At the far end of the living space from the lounge, there is a lovely dining area. With a beautiful solid oak dining table with ample space for all the family. The room is designed with a bench along one-side of the table, which sits parallel with the kitchen. Above the bench there is an open window into the kitchen, creating a sociable atmosphere for those cooking, whilst still keeping the two spaces separate. The kitchen comes fully equipped with an oven, four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine and coffee percolator, so you'll have everything required to rustle up a stunning meal for your friends and family.

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 and bed-linen, 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 à la carte option which allows you greater flexibility to eat and drink whatever you desire and the cost of the food is on supplement, at cost price, and depending on what produce you choose to order.

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 à la carte contactless 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 and we will give you the opportunity to order the food and drink of your choice, at the local hypermarket rates, and bill you for this afterwards. Four days before arrival, you will receive a comprehensive provisions list with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. That might be oven-ready meals, or the ingredients you'll need for Bolognaise, Soufflés or Cheese Fondues. Dry goods, dairy, fresh fruit and veg, fresh meat or fish, beers, wines, champagne, whatever, all bought for you and stocked in advance.

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 à la carte option, all food, drink, ski hire and lift passes come at additional costs and are not included in the chalet price. Provisions will be billed at cost price and can be ordered from the list that will be sent out to you, and 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.
