Neilson Chalet Ruby

The 15 person Chalet Ruby is a welcome addition to our Mountain Collection family in Les Deux Alpes. Having been a farm cottage in a previous life, it’s made of local stone and its small exterior hides a deceptively spacious chalet.

It’s been renovated to a high standard and has a modern, contemporary feel thanks to crystal white walls and warming colours. You’ll find it in the old town, down a quiet side street and just 300m from the high-speed six-person Diable chairlift.

Nearest lift: 300m (Diable chairlift)

Equipment hire shop and storage: 575m (at slope side Neilson Hotel Aalborg. Includes free storage at the shop for kit hired through Neilson)

Tuition meeting point: Beginners 575m (at Neilson Hotel Aalborg), improvers 1km (top of Jandri 1 gondola)

Resort centre: 600m 

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. 

The Ruby sleeps 15 people in eight great sized ensuite bedrooms. There's a choice of twins or doubles so it suits groups of friends really well.  

Each room is light and bright with a tastefully-done mix of modern and traditional wooden furniture. The bathrooms all have a shower and wc. Rooms on the top floor have sloping ceilings but are still a good size. You'll also find luxurious Temple Spa toiletries in each bathroom.
