Apartment Information

All accommodation must be treated with care and respect, the accommodations featured here either belong to us or our friends and as such we feel if there is a situation which requires us to recover the cost of damages and breakages we will seek to do so.

Dietary Requirements

We must be notified in advance of any special dietary requirements. Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, other special diets may not be able to be met.

Lift Passes

Let me arrange your lift pass in advance so it is ready for you when you arrive at your chalet or apartment. This saves you any hassles on the 1st day skiing when everyone is keen to get out on the snow.
No photo is required for lift passes. We are now on a hands free system, where your pass is scanned as you go through the turnstiles.

 

Flight Times & Transfers

Flights should be arranged to Geneva (preferable), Lyon (St Exupery) or Chambery. You must arrive between 9am and 5pm to connect with our transfers to Courchevel. If you are staying at chalet Macambuse or Valeriane the transfers are included in the holiday cost.

We may also be able to arrange transfers from other airports, but supplements may apply. So in general, for other airports or flight times, we recommend you hire a car or arrange a private transfer. Journey time from Geneva and Lyon is 2 hours, Chambery 1 hour, but do expect delays at busy times.

Self-Drive

More and more people are choosing to drive to the Alps, offering greater freedom and flexibility and taking advantage of the excellent motorway systems bringing you as far as Albertville a mere 40 minutes from the chalet. You can bring as much luggage as you like, travel day or night, enjoy an extra days skiing by arriving early and leaving late and have your car to discover the local area and resort.

The French motorways are excellent and with shared fuel costs and relatively inexpensive ferry and tunnel crossings you can make quite a saving on flight prices. The drive from Calais can take as little as nine hours. Should you wish to break your journey there are plenty of inexpensive hotels en route. Parking at the chalet. Approx toll charges £85 (Calais to Albertville). Discount of £50 per person.
