Between the Slopes

Between the Slopes: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

With an unbeatable location right in the heart of the Alpe d’Huez resort, this chalet apartment is hard to beat. And when you take the incredible views and amenities into account, you’re really onto a winner.

The cooling tones of this apartment exude serenity, with the warmth of the fireplace and the plush sofa providing the perfect spot for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Patio doors invite in a bright natural light while giving you a peek of the mountain view, but of course, that’s even better from your balcony. Mornings out there are particularly beautiful, fresh cup of coffee in hand, soaking in the early mist hanging on the mountains. It's not just the apartment itself that has your comfort in mind – you can unwind in the sauna, succumb to relaxation in the hammam, take a lap in the heated swimming pool, or play foosball while the little ones busy themselves in the ball pit.

The location of this home really is fantastic. You’re a mere two metres away from hopping on a ski lift, where the impressive chain of mountains are sure to get your adrenaline soaring. The resort has a good mix of slopes depending on your experience, and your host can always arrange ski lessons to boost your confidence and get you shredding in no time. Your lovely host can also arrange a professional guide to take your group out to untouched terrain, away from the crowds.

All of that skiing is bound to work up an appetite, so it’s a good thing the apartment is steps away from the restaurants and bars of Alpe d’Huez. If you’d like to explore more of the French Alps, a great local team of travel assistants can make sure you make the most out of your stay.
