Bedtime...

Rooms and suites
12 double rooms in three luxury chalets.

Special features
Each chalet has its own sound system and wi-fi – though no TVs, as this is a getting-away-from-it-all kind of place. Bedrooms have iPod docks, crisp white bedding and luxury bathrooms.

Pillow talk
While many guests take the chalets for exclusive use, bedrooms can be booked hotel-style. Six Blanc has stunning views of the pinnacle of Mont Blanc. Rooms in Le Rogneux look out across the Val d’Entremont and the Orny glacier. Barbey’s light and airy rooms are matched by a south facing terrace.

Dining in
There are plenty of options, depending how independent you’d like to be. Choose from a deliciously stocked fridge on arrival to full-service dining provided by a private chef or local restaurant Les Alpes. Light bites and wines can be enjoyed fireside or out on the balcony throughout the day. Alternatively, just leave your shopping list with the Montagne team and they’ll do the shopping for you.

Breakfast
Served when you choose as part of the of the ‘feel at home’ package.
