We understand it’s the little things that can make a big difference. A choice of early morning teas in bed, CBeebies before bedtime and a basket of fruit & chocolate for your journey home. We can’t fix the weather, but we will secure a good table at your favourite restaurant and find out last night’s football result.

A ski chalet/hotel holiday should be easy, where the simple things that really matter are done supremely well. Warm ski boots in the morning. Drivers who never let you put your own skis in the back. Freesat for those that can’t miss their favourite programmes. Nannies with a little photo album at the end of the week. Multimedia sockets to play your music, images or film. The utter bliss of a post-piste professional massage or perhaps a manicure and facial. Fluffy towels. Silly little stuff that is important to us, and so we know it will be important to you too.

• Return flights with reliable airlines
• Coach transfers to and from your resort

This chalet has been designated as a ‘Development chalet’.

We are delighted to announce that this year in a selection of our chalets designated as `Development Chalets’ we will be working with Ed Perry & Dale Penfold the founders of COOK to provide catering for our guests. They have used the founding principal of using only natural ingredients along with concentrating on provenance, waste and animal welfare.

From their Kent kitchen they produce nutritious food by hand and by using an innovative blast freezing technique have been able to deliver all over the country. Along with their Development chef Sarah Jane we have designed a sensational menu for this season.

We are also going to be offering a few enhancements to our normal service in these selected chalets. These will include homemade chocolates and smoothies at breakfast. Netflix on tap and improved minibars renamed Tuck Shops with specialist beers and cider and Green and Black chocs (all at a sensible price) and a few other small but significant embellishments.

You will find our lovely staff in house to give you tips and ski advice plus rustle you up hot options at breakfast each morning as well as afternoon cakes and cuppas to come back for. Canapés come out with the fizz before dinner and the main event is a four-course affair including a cheeseboard and plenty of wine to wash it all down with.

The Vieille Forge (meaning old forge) backs onto the main street of Courchevel 1850. It’s a great position just 350m to La Croisette and the main Courchevel 1850 ski lifts. You can take the stairs from La Croisette entrance to get to the lifts or walk a little further around if you don’t fancy tackling them in your ski boots. There is a cut through next to the Hotel Olympic which will make getting the resort centre even easier. Alternatively, before you reach La Croisette you’ll find the Plantrey piste which you can take down to the chairlift of the same name which will take you up to the right side of the valley (you can ski down to La Croisette from here if you want to).
