Parking

There is ample free parking opposite the Chalet.

Catered/Self-Catering

Whilst the Chalet is marketed as self-catering many people also do take it catered. Our philosophy is a little different in that when guests want catering we bring in a Chef for the week to carry out breakfast and evening meals and charge guests ahead of their stay. This facility is not like any normal Chalet dining, and offers a Gourmet menu together with most interesting cuisine. This experience can be taken either on a weekly basis or if preferred just for a couple of days. In addition to this we do offer a range of excellent quality French wines, which can be purchased from us at the Chalet. You will have a chance to sample some of these wines free of charge, as part of our Welcome Pack for guests on arrival.

Transfers

We can recommend transfer companies to and from Geneva, many of whom have given us excellent service over the years. We also have reliable ski guides and instructors, which we use year after year. For further information on any of these services please contact us and we can give you the individual information.
