Food

All breakfasts, 5 picnic lunches and 6 dinners are included in the price of
the trip. All food is home cooked in the chalet using local ingredients.

*Typical Meals:*

Breakfast: Buffet style breakfast will usually consist of cereal, eggs,
orange juice, croissant, fresh French bread, butter, jam, tea or coffee.

Lunch: Picnic style lunches will normally include bread, fresh salad
vegetables, cold meats or tinned fish, cheese and fresh fruit.

Evening meal: A single menu is prepared each evening for the whole group and
this will normally consist of a first course of soup, salad or charcuterie, a
main course of meat or fish with rice, potatoes or pasta and vegetables,
followed by dessert and tea or coffee. The price of the evening meal does not
include wine, beer, bottled water or soft drinks.

Vegetarian, gluten and dairy free diets: Although we serve a single menu each
night for the whole group we will happily shop for and prepare alternative
menus for vegetarian, gluten and dairy free diets, but please inform us at
the time of booking. *Please note – to reduce food wastage we shop to exact
quantities for the whole week in advance, so if you have requested a certain
diet please remain with that diet for the whole trip.*

Accommodation

We use three alpine chalets with comfortable lounges and dining rooms. All have a large table where delicious home-cooked meals are served and scrumptious cakes are provided daily for afternoon tea. Chalupa and Chocolat have a private outdoor area and a hot tub, and Bediere has access to communal gardens and is only a five-minute walk to the centre of Chamonix.



Chalets provide a more intimate experience than traditional hotels and the dining room often becomes a hub of living in the evening and a space to share stories from the day. Meals are prepared by the chalet hosts and enjoyed around a communal table.



Additionally, the hosts live on site meaning they are available for any situation that arises. Generally, they won’t enter your rooms to change towels, make beds or clean, but they are happy to help if you feel your room needs a midweek service. None of the rooms have air conditioning but we do provide electric fans.



Friends and family can typically be allocated to the same chalet, even if you have different booking references. Please notify your sales representative at the time of booking if this applies to you.



Chalet Chocolat



A seven-minute train ride (or 25-minute walk) from the heart of Chamonix, this seven-room chalet has a traditional alpine feel, plus a lovely garden and cosy atmosphere. Bedrooms vary in size and shape and some (not all) have access to a balcony.



Chalet Chalupa



In the pretty resort of Les Houches, Chalet Chalupa provides modern chalet accommodation in the Chamonix Valley. It has six well-proportioned rooms and an extensive deck with a fire pit. Twenty minutes from central Chamonix by bus, the chalet provides a spacious and comfortable living space with the amenities of Les Houches nearby.



Chalet Bediere



Only a five-minute walk from the centre of Chamonix, this 1920s mansion has five stylish rooms and a communal outdoor space with mountain views. It is decorated in an art deco style and was refurbished in 2023, keeping the original character of the property.



Worth knowing



On booking, your confirmation documents will name Chalet Chalupa; however, you may be allocated to Chalet Chocolat or Chalet Bediere. This is confirmed on your Final Joining Instructions sent four weeks before your departure date.

If you prefer one chalet over the other, please let us know at the time of booking and we will do our best to fulfil your request. Requests for a specific chalet must be made to our customer operations team six weeks before departure at the latest. The walking itinerary is the same for all chalets; however, the order of the walks may differ slightly.

In Chalet Chocolat, one top-floor bedroom has a window in the roof rather than a wall-mounted window, and a large private bathroom on the floor below. There is also a smaller twin room on the ground floor of the property with a private bathroom. Both of these rooms are used as single rooms and are usually allocated to the first single people to book.

There are no guest laundry or parking facilities at the chalets. If you are driving, please speak to your operations executive about parking options.
