ITALY

While staying at the Hotel Hermitage, cervinia, I would highly

recommend a visit to the Chalet Etoille Mountain Restaurant –

its Matterhorn views and Reindeer Ravioli are absolutely divine!

FRANCE

For something a little bit different while staying at l’alpaga, why

not enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the pretty resort

of megève – a lovely way to unwind after a day on the slopes.

uSA

the ritz-carlton, Bachelor Gulch has a very special ‘staff

member’ who is loved by all who stay there, a gorgeous St

Bernard called... Bachelor of course!

AuSTRIA

Choose the Kristiania lech and you can enjoy the wonderful

heated chairlifts, ideal to keep you warm on a chilly day!

if you would like to contact lorraine directly, call her on 01244 897 333 or email her at [email protected]

include being able to work to your own schedule for

a more relaxed holiday in the snow. Dedicated chalet

hosts will cater for your every whim whilst serving

delicious cuisine and cocktails at a time which suits

you. There’s also the added luxury of feeling like

you’re in your very own home-away-from-home,

where the formalities of dining in a restaurant or

sharing the pool are non-existent. Your team will also

be able to transport you and your kit wherever you

want to go and will be waiting for you on your return

with a warm drink and a friendly smile.

Here, we feature just one ultra luxurious chalet to

whet your appetite... Chalet Montanaval D’iSère, France

Val d'Isère, Chalet Montana is so close to the piste, you can

each room has been designed to be both spacious and intimate,

with delightful terraces sharing the same perfect views. There's also

a cosy, television snug room, private study and an indoor pool with

jet-stream and impressive mountain views, while materials such as

local stone and timber add to the quintessential Chalet-feel. With six

en-suite bedrooms, the chalet comfortably sleeps 12 guests and so
