Chalet Vieux Logis, Alpe d’Huez

Daniel — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 06:06:45 +0000

The Chalet Vieux Logis has proved a popular addition to our portfolio in Alpe d’Huez. Situated right on the piste, in the heart of the Old Town, this charming detached property provides the discerning skier with all that you could ask for.

The Vieux Logis has been lovingly renovated with considerable thought, resulting in a smart interior which combines contemporary design features with tasteful furnishings full of character. The exposed wooden floors throughout provide a warm ambience, whilst the spacious and airy living area with comfortable large sofas, and large balcony, is a really inviting area for canapés and drinks or for enjoying the beautiful views across the valley. The separate dining room on the floor below is full of character with a beamed ceiling, open fire, and smartly fitted dressers.

The chalet has eight bedrooms of varying size, all decorated in neutral colours, with six of them also having a balcony. Room 7 is smaller than the others with a sloping ceiling and velux window , and the use of storage areas on the corridor, and is therefore sold for single occupancy only.

A spacious new sauna as well as two rainfall showers have been added on the ground floor.

Access to the skiing each day is easy with the Eclose piste on your doorstep, and its chairlift only 50m away.

We are confident that guests will not fail to appreciate the quality and convenience that the Vieux Logis offers to ensure a fabulous ski holiday in Alpe d’Huez.

Activities vary daily. We’ll find time for stories, singing, arts and crafts including painting and collage making, plus messy play in the sand tray and free play with age-relevant toys set out for the children to choose what they want to do.

We’re also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe snowy walks, a gondola ride or snow painting. And if your child is used to a sleep, we’ll factor that in too.

Beanie Bear Club (4-8 years) provides plenty of fun-filled days as our childcare staff offer a combination of care and skiing, which includes 6 x AM ski lessons, pick-up and drop-off from ski lessons, lunch and afternoon care by staff in the dedicated Beanie Bear Club room.

Activities vary daily – to include games, arts and crafts and storytime – and are often based around a theme.

We’re also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe bus bingo, snowman competitions or a treasure hunt.

Daniel — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 05:52:34 +0000

There are few chalets in the Alps quite like the Sarenne. Boasting interior design reminiscent of a Hollywood star’s mansion, including an open plan lounge and dining area which is positively dripping with panache. Pristine, decadent and over-the-top classy, you’ll need to wear sunglasses permanently to blend in. Stepping outside the floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the view, you’re treated to a wrap-around terrace deck complete with private hot tub, just in case you didn’t feel ‘rock star’ enough! A wood burning stove adds a touch of tradition beside the ultra-modern dining area, complete with funked-out perspex chairs and a large table.

The bedrooms bring a calming influence with simple design, clean crisp lines and a modern flair. Each room features storage and a perfectly apportioned en-suite bathroom.
