Chalet du Ferme, Alpe d’Huez, France

Description

Chalet du Ferme is one of five chalets located at the top of Alpe d’Huez, right next to the main lifts offering a luxurious, ski in ski out option. The chalets are built around a charming cobbled courtyard, sitting at a very snow-sure 2000m altitude and surrounded on two sides by the pistes, adding to the convenient location. The centre of Alpe d’Huez is a pleasant 10 minutes’ walk away, where you’ll find lots of activity, with plenty of great bars, restaurants and shopping, plus an outdoor ice rink and swimming pool. If you don’t fancy the walk into town, then take the aerial route as the nearby gondola lift will transport you to different parts of the resort.

The Chalet

It’s hard not to love Chalet du Ferme, with five beautiful and spacious en-suite bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests, this elegant and stylish chalet is the perfect choice for a luxurious family getaway or ski trip amongst friends.

Entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor, where upon entering you’ll find a ski room on your right, complete with a heated ski boot drier for making sure you have nice warm boots each morning. The living space on the ground floor is stunning, with a modern and comfortable corner sofa that compliments the lovely timber clad walls and vaulted ceilings. The stone fireplace is the focal point of the room and whilst being open plan the room feels light and airy, the fireplace and soft furnishings give it a warmth and cosiness.

There is a spacious dining table with ample space for all 10 guests and which sits next to the full equipped kitchen, complete with an oven, four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Senseo machine and coffee percolator. Outside the dining and living room is a balcony which commands uninterrupted views of the piste linking the Rond Point des pistes with Les Bergers, and given Alpe d’Huez’s nickname of “l’Ile au Soleil” it should be a great spot to enjoy a drink and soak up some sunshine at the end of the day.

The five bedrooms are luxurious and spacious, with a choice between two double bedrooms (160 x 200cm) and three twin bedrooms (90 x 200cm) all with an en-suite bathroom and balcony. There is a twin on the ground floor which has both an en-suite bathroom and WC and space for a cot. The second bedroom is on the first floor, again a twin with an en-suite shower room and WC. The two doubles are on the second floor, one has an en-suite shower and the other an en-suite bathroom. The final bedroom is also on the second floor, with twin beds and an en-suite bathroom.

As an added touch of luxury, on the ground floor is a spa area with sauna and indoor hot tub. The hot tub sits in front of patio windows with lovely views of the pistes outside, and access to a terrace area beyond.

There is free WIFI throughout the chalet, so whether you need to do some work whilst away, or just fancy streaming your favourite show, you’ll be well looked after. For those driving to the resort, there is underground covered parking available.
