SERVICE

We like to look after people and want you to get the most out of your holiday so we start with a good breakfast: porridge, eggs, cereals, jams, fresh bread from the bakery, toast, yoghurt, fruit, tea, coffee and juice.

Once you’re set up for the day we’ll help out with suggestions on the best runs, restaurants, guides, picnic spots and anything else which you might want to know.

After a day on the slopes we’ll have afternoon tea ready. Some days it might be a cake, others biscuits or flapjack and we’ll always have a pot of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, bread, jams and nutella to fill the gap before dinner.

We light the fire and enjoy a chat about the day, some more tea or a few beers from the honesty bar then after a hot shower we’re ready for a relaxed dinner. If you have children we can do an earlier tea time so you can get them into bed, playing a board game or in front of a DVD before you sit down to eat.

We serve food which we like to eat: fresh, tasty and filling meals with ingredients sourced, whenever possible, from local suppliers. We also have a generous supply of good red and white house wines.

Everyone wants something different from their holiday so we are happy to cater for most dietary requirements including vegetarians and vegans. We also like to help celebrate birthdays or other special occasion that fall during your stay. Please let us know your group’s requirements at the time of booking so we can prepare for your arrival.

Our holidays run from Saturday to Saturday and we look forward to offering you our hospitality on 6 nights. We will take one day off each week – usually Wednesday - when we are happy to reserve a table for you at a local restaurant so you can sample some of the local specialities.

EXTRA SERVICES – ski hire, lift passes and ski lessons

• Ski Hire - We recommend the Evolution 2 sports shop, for your ski hire. They have an excellent choice of adults and children’s skis and boards and are just next door to the chalet. We can accompany you to the shop on the first day of your holiday and find it is easier to simply visit the shop (rather than reserve on line and then visit the shop as well!) Our guests receive a discount on the price of ski hire: www.montchavin-sporteam.com

 

• Ski School - We are happy to pre-book lessons on your behalf, to avoid disappointment in resort. Evolution 2, the ski school we recommend, limit class size to 8 people, have English speaking instructors and are very popular. Booking in advance usually assures space in the lesson of your choice. Evolution 2 cater for adults and children in group and private lessons and also offer snowboard and telemark classes, snowshoe walking expeditions, torchlight descents, off-piste guiding and heli-skiing http://www.evolution2.com/plagne/default.asp

• Lift Passes - To save you queuing in the lift pass office we can collect your passes and have them ready in the chalet. There’s no need for a photo and all passes are hands free; automatically opening the lift turnstiles from your pocket. To make pre-ordering easier you can pay by cheque in advance or euros on arrival. The choice of passes might seem confusing but there are basically four types of pass to suit skiers of different abilities.
