Winter is well and truly on it’s way with consistent snowfall and dropping temperatures across the Alps, so to help you plan your winter holiday, here are some things that should make it that bit more affordable:
Eurostar tickets now on sale. Some good prices being offered, our chalet in Bourg being only 7h 22m from London St Pancras!
Discount for train users. Come by train and receive a £5 per night discount for being nice to the environment.
9% off lift passes. On Paradiski, La Plagne and Les Arcs lift passes when pre booked through us
It has been widely reported amongst the English Press that most operators have cut their programs for this winter and are offering less discounts as a result of that and the weaker pound, so don’t wait to book your holiday as spaces are a lot more limited than they have been in recent years, but take advantage of some of the offers above and you could well save yourselves a tidy amount.
That’s it for now, keep checking the webcams to see the snow coming and if you need more info on any of the above, then go to www.chillchalet.com
We have just got the official map of what is going on where and it looks like the finish line is down by the skatepark, with the departure point the next day, being about 20 yards from our front door! Plus the ‘Village du Tour’ is situated in front of the train station which is just across the road.
We will be barbecuing all day long, watching events from our garden which possibly has the best vantage point for the whole shebang! So if you are in town stop by and say hello.
We also have a room or two spare, so if you are looking for accommodation, then give us a shout at the usual email.
We are still hanging around in Blighty, the dog training was excellent, expect (we hope) to see a well mannered Vanilla by the time you visit, we have seen off two weddings and a christening, the wedding at Sandhurst was a belter, which saw us and the guys from Rude Chalets having a right old sing song towards the end of the night. Congratulations and all the best for the future go out to Nick and Lisa, whose day was really lovely, an honour to be invited to your special day, and to Emily and Tom, welcome to the extended Hughes family Tom, they are all bonkers!
So that is what we have been up to, we have been getting loads more bookings for the summer, it looks like Bourg is going to be going off! As always find out more about summer things in the area here and more specifically mountain biking here
We will be back in Bourg next week and we hope to see you all soon
We are back in the UK doing some family things, having a short break in Wales training the dog and generally seeing some friends, culminating in working on a smoothie stall at Glasto! Then we will be back in Bourg just in time for the lifts to open and our first mountain bikers to arrive.
We are filling up nicely for the summer opening and everything is looking good. We have some new sun loungers in the garden, which is in full bloom at the moment, we have had some lovely warm weather and a couple of barbeques so we are looking forward to getting back.
If you haven’t booked your trip but have some dates in mind, do get in touch to avoid disappointment. You’ll find all the info you need here
Just had this through the Westbeach newswire, they are offering a trip to the Camp of Champions, which is a summer snowboard camp held on the Blackcomb glacier, so if you fancy a some of that action, click here
And here is the flyer:
Well, the season has now finished in Les Arcs and what a winter, loads of snow and plenty of good times, but time waits for no man and the last few weeks saw a plethora of mountain bikers riding from 1600 down to Bourg. Indeed, it seems that at the end of the season, there are more and more bikers putting their skis and snowboards away and making use of the funicular to ride the many trails above Bourg Saint Maurice.
So now we wait for the snow to melt and all the trails to open up, in the meantime, Les Arcs are building a bike park and we are preparing ourselves for the summer, adding more content to the website, new pictures and doing a few jobs around the chalets.
You can find out more info about our service and facilities here:
We are getting booked up for the summer months so don’t wait and be disappointed, email office@chillchalet.com for availability.
Once again, after some rain yesterday, the temperature dropped and we have seen snow down to 850m, which means plenty of new snow in the resorts, ensuring a great end of season. We are now offering spaces for £44 per person per night, including breakfast and dinner, so if you want to take advantage of some great late season snow, contact us.
Yep, more snow across the Alps, with more forecast this week.
We are still offering a 20% discount from now until the end of the season, so get yourselves away from all that credit crunch nonsense and get some snow and sunshine.
