TRANSFER YOUR OFFICE TO THE MOUNTAINS After the long weeks of lockdown and an unprecedented health crisis, we have had to change our working habits, opening the way to working in a new, nomadic office and sometimes known as «telecommuting». In La Clusaz, we have taken a scientific look at the sociological impact of the crisis. After in-depth studies by a group of top experts in «Dream chalets and holidays» (yes, they exist!), we identified some of the main messages from this period. First of all, human beings are definitely not meant to stay locked up in their homes for too long. We all need a breath of fresh air, and it is a vital necessity to get up on a rock at the top of the Massif de Beauregard, to spread out your arms and breathe in or yell your head off! Secondly, you have reached the most advanced stage in the development of the telecommuter. Freshly equipped in spring 2020 - a good laptop, broadband on the server, perfect mastery of video conference technique - you are now totally operational to work at the office or from the summit of the Pointe Percée. Third, you don’t have many days off left (don’t forget, you had to take most of your days off in November following the HR department’s memo n°329), and it seems to you that the year will seem quite long if you stay at home all the time… In short, we came to the conclusion that it is urgent to tell you about an incredible idea that is definitely made for you: telecommuting from La Clusaz and getting a breath of fresh air at the same time.

rest assured, it’s possible. «Combining business with something exceptional»: this expression has been invented for your future telecommuting stay in La Clusaz! THE PLACE TO GO: LE PÊLE COWORKING SPACE What with the children setting off for a ski, snacks with all the family and a great tartiflette in the evening, we must admit that it is sometimes hard to find a quiet moment to devote yourself to work in your chalet. Well, now there is no excuse… Le Pêle, named after a local expression that means “a small room heated with a stove”, is a coworking space which opened a few years back. A perfect solution for entrepreneurs, the self-employed, freelancers and telecommuters. The centre is open to visitors and local inhabitants, and has everything you need: 20 individual workstations in an open space, secure wifi, a printer-scanner, a meeting room, and not forgetting unlimited coffee and tea! No reason to put things off: the mountains are an inspiration all the year round. In winter, you can take a quick look out the window to see the chairlift passing by and the skiers on the slopes, and in summer, you can watch the cows, sheep and mountain-bikers in the fields nearby.
