VIP Ski Brochure 2011/12 by Full Circle Travel

VIP SKI

I probably don’t need to explain that skiing is fun or that the Alps are the best place to do it, or even that a chalet holiday is by far the best way to enjoy them both. However, what you may not know is that 98% of last year’s guests said that not only would they come back with VIP SKI, but that they would also recommend us to their friends. Testament certainly to the great skiing in our snow sure altitude resorts during a season when the white stuff proved a little thin on the ground, but I like to think an encouraging endorsement of our own efforts nonetheless. This year we unveil two exquisite new properties next to the Medran lift in the centre of Verbier, announce a stunning summer refurbishment of our flagship Aspen Lodge in Val d’Isère, and launch our first VIP SKI operated piste-side restaurant above Les Gets. I also look forward to joining some of you on our early and late season ski technique breaks, designed for those, like me, for whom the ski season can never be long enough. Since I compiled our first brochure with one finger and a typewriter in 1988, I have been passionate and relentlessly enthusiastic about building chalets and holidays that are better than before. 24 years and a few grey hairs later, 170 colleagues and I still care very much about your holiday. You can trust us to keep our promises and rely on us to put things right if they go wrong. I am confident that somewhere within the pages of this brochure is a ski holiday that will delight you this winter and compel you to come back with your friends.

A few words

VIP

genuine

VIP Staff

Our philosophy is simple: to treat our guests as we would wish to be treated ourselves; clichĂŠ perhaps, but no less true for that. Warm, courteous and attentive, our staff are more mature than most. We trust them to keep our promises to you, and empower them to put things right if they go wrong. You can rely on their knowledge and experience to guide your choice of chalet, and then to help you make the most of your time when you get there. 4

thoughtful

VIP Service

A choice of early morning teas in bed and an English newspaper at breakfast, CBeebies before bedtime and a basket of fruit & chocolate for your journey home: it’s the little things that can make a big difference. We can’t fix the weather, but we will bring a forecast to your chalet each day, secure a good table at your favourite restaurant and find out last night’s football result. Slick, but never oily, consummate customer service remains a VIP hallmark. 6

delectable

VIP Food

Nothing whets the appetite quite like a day on the mountain. Fuel your passion with a full hearty breakfast and then reward your daily exertions with a seductively sinful teatime treat balanced by an evening of healthy fine dining. Imagine all the pleasure of a dinner party with friends every evening for a week; without the cooking, the taxi, the babysitter or the washing up. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to bring a bottle, our celebrated sommelier has taken care of that. 8

VIP Chalets Mont Fort

Choucas

Mont Fort

‘Some day all chalets will be built this way’ wrote The Sunday Times. ‘The outstanding alpine chalet collection’ mentioned The Telegraph. ‘Kelly Hoppen meets Heidi’ said The Independent. Or to put it another way, smart contemporary or traditional mountain design, snugly wrapped in handsome local timber and generously filled with plump inviting sofas and roaring log fires. We have built most of the chalets ourselves; think boutique-hotel chic or chocolate box charm. You decide. 12

chilled

VIP Relaxation

How do you relax? Wired to work or addicted to the web? It’s ok, don’t be shy, you’re among friends; complimentary WiFi in all of our chalets lets you stay connected when you want to. State of the art entertainment systems with flat screens, iPod leads and surround sound help you switch off when you don’t. Alternatively, ‘me time’ could be the utter bliss of a post-piste professional massage or perhaps a manicure, facial and healthy looking ski tan without the need to leave the chalet. Time & space to relax.

atmospheric

VIP CLUB

The convivial atmosphere of a larger shared chalet gives you the opportunity to meet other like-minded skiers or families. Our CLUB chalets are reserved by the room, have chefs and a more flexible menu plan, canapé reception every evening, complementary beer and wine, breakfast and cleaning every day and dedicated ski guiding. CLUB holidays are intended to distil the very best of the celebrated club-hotel atmosphere but with the intimacy and exclusivity of a private chalet: we then wrap it in ubiquitous VIP SKI service to allow you to make the most of both. Our CLUB properties are Bellevarde in Val d’Isère; Pierre in Méribel; Château in Alpe d'Huez and Alaska in Morzine. 16

dependable

VIP Childcare

Our nannies will make your holiday and spoil you with a freedom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forgotten existed. Choose any continuous 8 hours between 8am and 8pm or half day options. Enthusiastic, qualified and caring, our nannies will come to your chalet, look after the children, waft them effortlessly from pyjamas to piste if required, and allow you to get on with what you came for. Regrettably they are not available to take home. 18

soothing

VIP Hot tubs

Once the sole preserve of super-luxury ski lodges, hot tubs have now become the ubiquitous aprĂ¨s-ski indulgence and are a fixture in most of our chalets. There can be few greater pleasures than basking in a bubbling tub and nursing weary limbs after a cold exhausting day on the slopes. Or the ultimate extravagance of a day away from the piste and a morning laze in the tub after a relaxing massage. The snow capped alpine backdrop makes a refreshing change from your local gym. 20

festive

VIP Christmas

Are you already dreading the heaving shops, hours over the stove and bloated slumber in front of the TV? It doesn’t have to be like that. Enjoy a fairytale festive break in the snow this year; carol singing and fireworks on Xmas Eve, smoked salmon and bucks fizz for breakfast, a healthy ski in the fresh mountain air and a visit from Santa before a spectacular dinner with all the trimmings. All of this without the cooking (although Dad can carve if he chooses) and without the washing up. You even get to watch the Christmas specials on UK Freeview if you fancy and you’ll be home on Boxing Day in time to bang in some diplomatic motorway miles. Go on, treat Mum for once. In fact save on wrapping paper and treat the whole family .... many of our magical Christmas breaks are just £999 per person. Let us cook the turkey, you go skiing. 22

obliging

VIP Ski Hosts

Like smiling sat-navs on skis, our hosts will guide you to the best snow, the shortest queues and quietest pistes, the sunniest lunchtime terrace, the biggest hot chocolate and the coldest beer. Pocket the piste map, forget about where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going and revel in the pure, heart-pumping pleasure of getting there. 24

reliable

VIP Ski Schools

A parent cannot relax until they are sure that their children are enjoying their skiing and being looked after well. There is nothing more pleasing than the excited glow of your kids fresh from the piste. The three key ingredients to assure your piece of mind? We guarantee charming and gregarious English speaking instructors, a range of ability groups and class sizes no bigger than eight. 26

rewarding

VIP Ski Courses

Want to stretch the ski legs before the season begins? Or squeeze in a second trip before packing away the skis for summer? Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to finally break through into the nirvana that is effortless carving on sheet ice or snorkel skiing in bottomless powder. Join one of our early or late season ski courses this winter, including intense personal tuition, avalanche awareness, evening video analysis and no doubt a little bit of ski banter over an evening glass of wine. 28

VIP Ski Areas

Height and space matters. Your ski week is sacrosanct and you probably book it months in advance, so you’ll want to be sure of the snow. The average altitude of our 59 chalets is 1677m. Whether you choose Val d’Isère, Alpe d’Huez, La Plagne, Méribel, Les Gets, Morzine, Verbier or Zermatt we can guarantee serious altitude, acres of snow cannons and world-class facilities, not to mention more ski miles than most of us could ever cover in a week.

effortless

VIP Travel

We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend that the fun of the holiday begins at the airport but we can try and get you to your chalet with the minimum of fuss. By chartering our own aircraft directly from Aer Lingus and Flybe, we are able to offer you a dependable service from Gatwick and Manchester at a sensible time of the day. We fly on a Sunday morning to avoid the crowds, and we will transfer you directly to your resort without waiting for other flights (and spare you the sales pitch along the way). 32

Verbier At the turn of the 20th century Verbier was little more than a few farmer’s huts and cattle pastures. In 1925 a group of keen farmers hiked up from the valley bottom to ski back down again and unbeknown to them at the time, the seeds of global ski phenomenon were sown. Lying in a wide sunny bowl above the Rhone Valley at the crossroads of Europe, Verbier has managed to retain plenty of Alpine charm to complement the razzle-dazzle and cosmopolitan chic. The village itself is an attractive collection of traditional and modern chalets, stylish shops and world leading restaurants, bars and night clubs. Famed for its après-ski, the village embraces all; from big beers and table dancing at the Farinet, mouth-watering hot chocolate at Offshore and every opportunity to melt your wallet until dawn at Coco. Glitterati and royal patronage aside, Verbier has earned its reputation through some outstanding skiing. Intermediates and experts will appreciate it the most, with some of the best and most easily accessible off-piste and ‘semi’ off-piste opportunities in Europe. Tortin, Mont Fort, Stairway to Heaven, Rock Garden … evocative names to stir emotion and challenge the spirit. Verbier sits at 1500m and the skiing stretches up to the Mont Fort at 3300 meters, effortlessly reached via one of the largest cable cars in Switzerland, guaranteeing snow throughout the season. Great skiers need to start somewhere, and Verbier nurtures its young and inexperienced in the heart of the village on the nursery slopes of Les Esserts before progressing to the open, tree-lined runs of Savoleyres and later, the wide open slopes of the glacier.

Mont Fort Verbier

6 guests

Our photographer thought that it might be our smartest chalet in the Alps and it is hard to argue with his work. A vaulted ceiling lends some space and grandeur to a very elegant and comfortable dĂŠcor and this makes for an exceedingly handsome home. Enjoying Verbier is about location, location, location and this property is a three minute walk from the Medran lift and a few minutes further from the village centre. An armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length from the action but cosseted away from the noise and clamour. The south facing balcony is bathed in sunlight and the view will make you pinch yourself. If Alpine Top Trumps existed, you would want this card.

Tortin Verbier

6 guests

More than any other resort, location is everything in Verbier, and this property is a three (yes, three!) minute walk from the Medran lift and a few minutes further to the village centre. A quick stroll from the main event but perfectly secluded from the hysteria. It really doesn’t get better than that. This spectacular apartment has an interior designer’s brushstroke against a canvas of perfect Swiss form and function … the pictures say it all, a class act. Breath-taking views of the roof of Europe from the wraparound balcony.

Zermatt Dominated by the mighty Matterhorn, this historic climbing town is both snow-sure and super-chic, combining an abundance of alpine charm with discreet A-list appeal and the unmistakeable smell of heritage. Zermatt village dates back to the Middle Ages, and today ancient barns sit alongside tastefully modern hotels, while the car-free policy preserves the peace. The lift and resort transport system is very 21st century, offering high tech convenience with minimal environmental impact. The skiing is extensive and varied, most suited to intermediates and experts who can challenge themselves on over 300 kilometres of the highest north and west-facing slopes in Europe. There are three separate ski areas and a delightful drop down into Cervinia in Italy for a day trip with a difference. For the expert skier, the heli-skiiing and the long mogul fields at Triftji are â&#x20AC;&#x153;the stuff of dreamsâ&#x20AC;? according to the Where to Ski and Snowboard Guide. Away from the slopes you can enjoy aprĂ¨s-ski promenading, serious designer retail therapy, outdoor skating, indoor swimming, horse drawn sleigh-rides and exclusive spa treatments. As if all this were not enough, Zermatt is also the gourmet capital of mountain restaurants, with no less than 38 establishments offering everything from fondue to finest Italian prosciutto crudo and foie gras, many of them with views onto some of the most stunning scenery in the Alps.

Gmatchi Zermatt

6 guests

Gmatchi is a spectacular barn conversion in a stunning position at the very heart of Zermatt’s cobbled old town.

At the top of the house is a bright, modern living room with south-facing balcony and Matterhorn views. The décor combines original wood beams with contemporary furnishing and stylish modern colours, assuring Gmatchi of a bright future to match its illustrious past. A completely unique home.

Haus Bor Zermatt

6 guests

Haus Bor is located close to the central ice rink and from the outside looks utterly conventional, with its blonde wood window frames and terrace balustrades.

6 guests

A lift takes you from the high street up to the exclusive Haus Glacier. Once inside the tranquil apartment it is difficult to imagine that you are in the very heart of Zermatt and far above the non-stop buzz of the village bars and restaurants. The apartment sleeps six in understated elegance, with a large comfortable lounge and smart bedrooms with designer bathrooms. There are wrap-around balconies for both sunrise coffee and a relaxing drink as the sun goes down after a hard day on the hill.

Morzine Morzine is the best possible base from which to explore the Portes du Soleil and first time visitors are often surprised by the excellent tree-lined skiing for all standards around Morzine itself. From the snow-cannoned Pleney nursery slopes to the wide-open reds of the Les Gets bowl, untracked Chamoissiere off-piste or moguls and couloirs of Prodains, the variety is astounding. The Portes du Soleil is the largest linked ski area in the world, a claim made by many certainly, but only here will you find 2 countries, 14 resorts, 209 lifts, 288 marked slopes, and over 650 kilometres of piste. Lift access from the village to 2000m is quick and easy, and from here you can pick your point on the compass. Switzerland for lunch? Mountain restaurants are a real highlight; value-for-money traditional log cabins with open fires, local speciality dishes and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vin chaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on tap. Pretty and traditional by day, the village comes alive in the late afternoon, and those so inclined can drink and dance the night away. The family might prefer the outdoor ice-rink, bowling alley or weekly market. There are also a host of cultural and historical activities that lay bare the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional farming roots.

Du Bois Morzine

12 - 14 guests

Chalet du Bois is situated on the nursery slopes in the centre of Morzine. The design brief was very simple: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a picture postcard, chocolate box mountain retreatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We sought to fuse traditional alpine decor with contemporary design; and so to the original timber panelled walls, log stove and weathered oak floors, has been added a cool veneer that includes smart en suite bathrooms and wide-screen home cinema. The staple diet of the modern day skier has not been forgotten, with a basement sauna for aprĂ¨s-ski relaxation and an outside hot tub into which you can tumble from the piste. The chalet also has a large family suite with private lounge; perfect for a little privacy and seclusion.

Les Gets Les Gets has always maintained a certain sleepy caché and exclusivity when compared to Morzine, its nearest and better known neighbour. The resort centre is a delightful mix of cobbled streets, piste side bars and traffic free retail therapy. A traditional dairy farming village at heart and a community that dates back to the 12th century, most buildings conform to the “chocolate box” vision of an alpine ski resort. Visitors to the resort are predominantly French which lends an authentic family atmosphere, but there are many animated bars hosting live music and showing all the big sports matches for a sociable après ski drink or three. Attractions away from the slopes include an ice rink, a small cinema, an array of interesting food shops and, uniquely for a ski resort, a mechanical music museum. There is also a weekly market selling everything from alarmingly smelly cheeses to the latest fashion for mountain goat herders. Our property is situated 300 vertical metres above Les Gets in Les Chavannes, the major lift and piste crossroads and at the start of all the cross country ski tracks. From here you can take the bubble lift down to the resort until late in the day or select from a number of gentle pistes down to the lower nursery slopes. The lifts outside the door lead you to the challenging Point de Nyon, the untracked Chamoissiere off-piste or the gentle intermediate Les Gets bowl. Just over the ridge is Morzine from where the variety of the Portes du Soleil is outstanding; the largest linked ski area in the world, a claim made by many certainly, but only here will you find 2 countries, 14 resorts, 209 lifts, 288 marked slopes, and over 650 kilometres of piste. Mountain restaurants are a real highlight; value-for-money traditional log cabins with open fires, local speciality dishes and ‘vin chaud’ on tap.

Altitude Lodge Les Gets

18 - 2 9 guests

Altitude is located at 1530 metres, on the piste, in the main Les Gets ski area of Les Chavannes and next to all the lifts. Green, red and blue pistes weave back to the terrace through the woods. We bought this property in 2008 and spent three years building the discerning skiers dream. There is a piste side bar, lounge terrace and lunchtime restaurant open to the public during the day and operated by VIP SKI. Residents have exclusive use of two private lounges with an open fire and flat screen entertainment. Our chef also offers a flexible menu plan with choice of dishes for evening dining. The funky urban interior boasts lift access to six of the nine bedrooms, including five family rooms, some with balconies or terraces and three with private outdoor hot tubs. The penthouse level has three bedrooms with a private lounge area. All rooms have Freesat HD TVs and BOSE SoundDocks. On the ground floor there is a wet suite with sauna and massage room plus access to the outdoor hot tub. By day there is a family room for children to play in comfort, a facility for Mum to sterilize bottles and for teenagers to battle with the Wii; by night this becomes a spectacular cinema with HD projector, 92â&#x20AC;? screen and sounds to make a grown man weep. After 23 years in the game, we think that we might have at last conceived and delivered the ultimate skiing venue.

Altitude Lodge

180Ë&#x161; panoramic view from terrace

Val d’Isère Regarded by many as the greatest ski resort in the world, Val d’Isère imposes traditional Savoyarde architecture on an awe-inspiring high mountain setting. The vast expanse of L’Espace Killy, comprising Val d’Isère and neighbouring Tignes, is the highest extended ski domain in the world. The clientèle is as varied as the terrain, from dedicated powder hounds and off-piste adrenalin junkies to blue cruisers and ladies who lunch. Most of the skiing is at 2300 metres and above and, not surprisingly, the resort has an unrivalled snow record. There is plenty of skiing on your doorstep to keep all but the most advanced occupied for at least a week, but the temptations of Tignes and the views from the top of the Grand Motte at over 3400 metres are simply unmissable and only a few lifts away. Après-ski begins before you’ve come off the mountain with live music at the Folie Douce above La Daille, or ski to the door of Bananas in the centre of town. There are bars, pubs and clubs which rock long into the night for those with unlimited stamina and deep pockets, plus a range of pampering body treatments and shops for those who prefer to conserve their energy for the slopes.

Aspen Lodge Val d’Isère

6, 8 or 10 guests

After ten years, we thought it was time for a new look, so we invited in the interior designers and got out our cheque book. Aspen pioneered a revolutionary new concept in catered ski holidays in 2002 when it won ‘WHICH Chalet of the Year’, and an exciting re-design from our customary design guru will bring it bang up to date. Sliding glass doors open from the high street onto a smart lounge area with open fire, giant cinema screen for kids evenings and big SKY sporting events, Nintendo Wii, pool table, complimentary internet screens, draft beer and coffee bar. We have a reception desk for advice, information and concierge service and lift access to the private accommodation suites above. Each individual suite in Aspen Lodge is entirely independent with its own front door, has three, four or five bedrooms, its own living and dining area and a dedicated chalet host. Our new re-design will strip out the chintz and ladle on some contemporary urban cool, watch the web for new images in early December 2011. All suites have a south facing terrace or balcony and the ski lifts and piste are just a short stroll away.

Aspen Lodge is currently undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment. Photographs will be on our website from December 2011.

Bellevarde Lodge is an imposing stone-and-timber chalet situated on the edge of the Santons piste. Yes, this means you really can click in and out of your bindings a few steps from the ski room door.

The vaulted sitting room has an open fireplace, floor to ceiling glass and abundant plump and inviting sofas from which to enjoy the breath-taking view. After a hard day on the slopes, the terrace hot tub is the perfect venue for beer and bubbles.

The Farmhouse Val d’Isère

12 - 14 guests

The Farmhouse is considered one of the smartest renovations in Val d’Isère. From Tatler to The Telegraph and The Sunday Times, the media have been unanimous in their praise. Certainly the architect was spoilt with the canvas on which he had to work: a two-hundred year old farmhouse with metre thick walls next to the church in the centre of Val d’Isère. Absolutely no expense has been spared in retaining the original stone and timber features whilst imposing a contemporary home with all the ubiquitous modern comforts.

Méribel The Trois Vallées embrace one of the most extensive linked ski areas in the world, encompassing Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Méribel, La Tania and Courchevel. The skiable area rises to 3200 metres at the glorious Cime de Carron, and is criss-crossed by a staggering 615 kilometres of piste. Méribel is intermediate heaven, with its wide, flattering motorway runs, and there’s plenty for experts too, with over 30 black runs and the off-piste skiing on Mont Vallon, rated as some of the best in the Alps. Méribel offers great shopping, an ice rink, a swimming pool and many other Olympic-standard sports facilities. From pavement cafés to Michelin-starred restaurants and vibrant night-life, it’s not hard to see why some people visit Méribel and never even ski. Very few chalets are located on the piste in Méribel and so to maximise your skiing time and preserve your legs for the slopes we operate our own private Mérishuttle transfer service to and from the snow. Your driver will come to your chalet every morning at a pre-set time and then drive you the few minutes and few hundred yards to the main Chaudannes lift station. You can then call us to collect you from the piste and return you to your chalet as late as 7pm, plenty of time for some ski stories and banter over an après-ski drink at the Rond Point.

This is a true skiers chalet; fairly basic in design and furnishing, but literally on the piste and next to the lifts at Chaudanne, the main hub of Méribel’s huge ski area and ski school meeting point. The simple but bright and comfortable living space leads to a small terrace with secluded hot tub. The five minimalist bedrooms overlook the piste and have crisp white walls, cosy wood panelling and smart contemporary en suite shower rooms. There are not many chalets on the slopes in Méribel, even fewer that are only a short stroll across the piste to the centre of town.

La Plagne With skiing at a lung challenging 3250m and with 225km of piste, La Plagne is already a snowsure and extensive ski area in its own right. Now linked to Les Arcs, even fast and experienced skiers would be hard pushed to cover the 425 km of piste that the Paradiski has to offer in a week. Our home is on the piste and next to the lifts in Plagne Centre, perched at 2000m in the very heart of the ski domain.

Resort facts All chalets ski in - ski out Outstanding ski school Great for all skiing abilities Family friendly

The resort won't win any prizes for prettiest village, but the altitude, ski in - ski out convenience and outstanding views make it easy to forgive a few 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural howlers. Plagne Centre is pleasantly lively and easily the best served of all the local resorts in terms of shops, ski-schools and aprĂ¨s-ski. The lift system is excellent, with fast access to the high reds off La Grand Rochette and the long easy blues above Aime 2000.

Transfer from Grenoble 3 hours Resort altitude 2000m Skiing altitude 1200 - 3250m Pistes 425km

A skiing paradise for beginners, intermediates will also feel instantly at home on the miles of gentle blues and some of the longest vertical descents in the whole of the Alps. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found your ski legs, the Bellecote Glacier reds are also eminently achievable, and for the brave, the more challenging blacks beyond. Experts will relish the vast and exhilarating off-piste bowls which are tracked much more slowly than the high-profile resorts.

Alpe d’Huez Alpe d’Huez is known locally as the Ile de Soleil, Island of Sunshine, and nestles spectacularly in a high altitude bowl with pistes stretching out to every surrounding mountain peak and point of the compass. One of the oldest ski resorts in France, Alpe d’Huez was originally a 14th century mining town, a resistance stronghold during the Second World War and home to one of the earliest alpine ski refuges in 1928. Granted there have been plenty of architectural carbuncles since those early beginnings, but ‘Quartier des Vieil Alpe’ is a pleasant and charming contrast in a more traditional style; a wander round its little back streets peels back the character and tradition of an old mountain village. The après-ski is as lively as you would expect of a bustling high-altitude resort with all the usual glitz, energy and glamour. There is also a dazzling array of non-ski activities, two swimming pools, an ice rink and a large sports centre with climbing wall. Primarily we have been drawn here because this is a skiers resort; the large beginners plateau, glittering glaciers, lung busting altitude, cast iron snow guarantee, fabulously varied terrain and state of the art lift system make it a skier’s delight no matter what your age and experience. Our brand new private courtyard of piste-side chalets is in the perfect position to enjoy the very best of Alpe d’Huez in luxury never before seen in the resort. An exciting caged people carrier provides aerial transport down to all parts of the resort.

Le Village Alpe d’Huez

8 -15 guests

Our exclusive development of five chalets is located at the top of town and next to all the main lifts. Built around an atmospheric cobbled courtyard at a giddying altitude of 2000m, and surrounded on two sides by piste, the five chalets of Le Village characterize the ultimate in ski in - ski out convenience. Instructors actually ski to the boot room door and collect you for your lesson! Those familiar with our previous developments will not be surprised that we have made our usual choice from the à la carte alpine menu; stone walls, slate roofs, vaulted ceilings, solid timber floors, high tech entertainment, snappy chic en suite bathrooms, hot tubs, saunas... all the ubiquitous toys that have become our trademark. Each of the bedrooms is larger than the customary alpine offering and every bedroom has a balcony, some actually spill straight onto the piste. An exciting aerial people carrier provides transport down to all parts of the resort including the outdoor ice rink and pool. With a nursery slope under your nose, our famed nanny service to look after the kids and spa treatments for a little spoilt indulgence, for the first time the discerning skier seeking supreme comfort can enjoy everything that Alpe d’Huez has to offer.
