Neilson Chalet Chartreuse

One of our best chalets in one of our favourite resorts. We love the Chartreuse for its charm and added luxuries. It's everything you would imagine a mountain cabin to be; huge chunky beams, a roaring open fireplace, a sauna and hot tub, and dining with freshly prepared food and delicious wine. 

When you walk into the open-plan lounge/diner from the large sun terrace with its indoor/outdoor hot tub, you get the sense this is a special chalet. The furnishings and style are high quality and you know you're in for a comfortable stay.

Nearest lift: 350m (Diable chairlift)

Equipment hire shop and storage:  we use Intersport for equipment hire (150m) and there is a ski/boot room at the chalet.

Tuition meeting point: Beginners 650m, improvers 1km (top of Jandri 1 gondola)

Resort centre: 500m 

A great example of an all-rounder. Long hours of sunshine (when it's not snowing) and snowsure slopes certainly help, but Les Deux Alpes is all about the variety of things to do, both on and off the mountain.

A superb resort for families (one of our top 10), groups and all standards of skier or boarder. Beginner slopes near the resort and on the glacier make it a great place to learn whilst enjoying the glorious mountains rising up all around you. Intermediates have plenty of choice while experts should hire a guide and test their freeriding ability on the legendary off-piste runs of the ominously named La Grave. 

Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Start every morning with an extensive continental breakfast, and cooked options on most days. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and free-flowing wine throughout the week, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week leaving you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening. 

Sleeping 18 people, the nine twin rooms are a real delight as you're surrounded by huge chunky beams of well-seasoned wood making for a cosy and restful night's sleep. Each has an ensuite and some have a balcony.
