New for the 2025/26 Ski Season

Chalet Marilaine, Méribel

We’re welcoming a new chalet to our collection, nestled among a cluster of chocolate-box chalets – just a hop, skip, and snowball from Méribel’s centre. Signature chalet, Marilaine, is a picture-perfect retreat for families and small groups looking for a slice of luxury in the Alps.

Warm and inviting, it’s a true home-from-home after a day on the slopes. Step outside and you’ll find one of its standout features – a secluded garden with a covered sunken hot tub and a traditional wooden barrel sauna, offering a blissful spot to ease ski-weary muscles.

The village of Mussillon sits at the entrance to Méribel, with the nearby ski bus (250m uphill) providing easy access to the slopes. For a more convenient option, the chauffeured shuttle service takes you directly to the Chaudanne lift station. Méribel itself is the gateway to the Three Valleys – a vast 660km ski area covering renowned resorts such as Courchevel and Val Thorens.

Après-ski is just as enticing, with world-famous venues including Folie Douce, Jack’s, and the legendary Rond Point (Ronnie’s).

Chalet Woodpecker & Chalet Nightingale, Alpe d’Huez

Not one but two new chalets – you’ll be spoilt for choice in Alpe d’Huez. Chalet Woodpecker and Chalet Nightingale are ideally located to make the most of all the resort has to offer. As sister chalets, they can even be booked together for larger groups, offering the perfect combination of space and convenience.

Both chalets provide unparalleled comfort, with spacious living areas and stylish alpine interiors across the en-suite bedrooms. Need a little post-ski relaxation? Unwind in the shared hot tub or sweat it out in the sauna.

Alpe d’Huez is a first-class destination for a ski holiday. Known as the “Island of Sun,” it offers fantastic snow and sunshine in equal measure. With plenty of high-altitude pistes, you can challenge yourself on runs such as La Sarenne (the longest black run in Europe) and the infamous Le Tunnel.

For après-ski, take your pick from venues like Folie Douce, Smithy’s, and Underground Bar. If you fancy something different, why not try night skiing, ice skating, or dog-sledding? Alpe d’Huez truly has it all.

Chalet Bonne Neige, Val d’Isere

And it doesn’t stop there! Chalet Bonne Neige will be joining our Val d’Isère line-up for next winter – and trust us, you’re going to love it.

Tucked just a snowball’s throw from the lifts, this traditional alpine chalet puts you right in the heart of some of the best snow conditions in the Alps. After carving up the slopes, head back to your cosy base, kick off your boots, and settle in by the fire with a vin chaud (or two) while swapping stories from the mountain.

Sleeping eight, Chalet Bonne Neige is compact, full of character, and perfect for small groups looking to make the most of everything this legendary resort has to offer, from the high-altitude pistes to the famously lively après.

And when the legs are feeling the burn? Make the most of the chalet’s communal steam room and ease into the evening, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

With its unbeatable location, snug vibes and a little post-ski pampering, we’ve got a feeling Chalet Bonne Neige is going to be a guest favourite in no time.

Chalet Tournavel, Tignes

Say hello to Chalet Tournavel, a traditional chalet in a jaw-dropping spot right by the frozen lake in Tignes. Perfectly positioned between Val Claret and Le Lac, it’s a laid-back, cosy base with everything you need for an unforgettable week on the slopes.

This rustic alpine retreat has room for up to 12 guests across six en suite bedrooms, with a handy extra single bed in one of the rooms for added flexibility. Whether you’re travelling with friends, family or flying solo, Tournavel ticks all the boxes for comfort, charm and convenience.

After a big day on the mountain, kick back in the snug lounge with its roaring log fire, soft seating and huge windows that frame epic views of the Grande Motte glacier. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen and dining space is made for relaxed evenings, while the terrace offers a perfect perch for your morning coffee or sunset vin chaud.

Downstairs, there’s space to stash your gear, complete with a ski rack and heated boot warmers to keep everything toasty for tomorrow’s adventure. Outside, you’ve got free parking (three spots in winter) and plenty of space to enjoy the snowy surroundings. For an easy-going, scenic stay in one of the Alps’ best-loved resorts, Chalet Tournavel is a cracking choice.

Short Ski Breaks

Can’t spare a whole week on the slopes? Don’t let the mountains’ call go to voicemail – our new short ski breaks are the perfect way to get your skiing fix in half the time. Choose from three- or four-night breaks to a range of resorts, from Méribel to Courmayeur, and experience the rising trend of ski weekends.

Unlike traditional short breaks where catering is left to you, our chalet package removes the hassle. Carve up the slopes of Méribel before returning for an evening of wining and dining, lovingly prepared by your dedicated chalet host.

Stay at the charming Chalet Azalee, just a five-minute stroll from the Morel chairlift, ensuring quick access to the mountain. A ten-minute wander downhill takes you into Méribel’s centre for post-ski socialising.

Looking to extend your trip? Why not opt for a 10-night stay, easily arranged with transfers available on Mondays and Thursdays, in addition to the usual Saturday departures.

Solo Ski Weeks

Launched in the 24/25 ski season, our solo ski weeks was a sell-out success – and they’re back for the 2025/26 ski season with even more trips available. This time, we’re heading to Alpe d’Huez, Courchevel and Les Deux Alpes for a week of skiing, socialising, and unforgettable experiences.

Staying at our catered chalets for a week in January, February or March, you’ll meet up to 20 like-minded travellers seeking skiing adventures without the hassle of organising everything alone.
