The cooler weather will soon set in and with it, the urge to go to the mountains to enjoy winter sports, walks to the sound of cracking snow and evenings to renew the world around the fire and a good fondue. The mountains, and more precisely here the Alps, are also resorts with wooden architecture, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. What better way to enjoy a ski vacation than in a chalet with your family or friends? Do you want fresh air, wide open spaces, to let off steam on the slopes and have the pleasure of being in a cosy environment at the end of the day? Here are 3 good reasons to rent a chalet in the Alps for a future getaway
1- Settle in a typical accommodation in the middle of the mountains
Renting a ski chalet is first of all a good way to disconnect from everyday life. It is a total change of scenery, by settling in a house made of wood and stone. A warm place where we like to meet after a sporting day to warm up in front of the fireplace and around a good local specialty.
A typical mountain chalet invites you to cocoon and to live multiple moments of complicity with your family and/or friends. Some can accommodate up to 15-19 people. This is an opportunity to share the cost and to settle in a high quality place with impeccable comfort!
A chalet in the mountains offers the advantage of waking up with a view of the snow-covered peaks, then having quick access to the slopes and the main tourist infrastructures. In no time at all, you'll be on the powder to practice downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or sledding. When the chalet is not located in the center of town, shuttles are available to take you to the slopes
2- The chalet: a comfortable and independent vacation
In addition to its typical and exotic aspect, the ski chalet allows you to quickly feel at home. Kitchen, living room, dining room, bedrooms, bathrooms: vacationers have everything they need for a relaxing vacation. The spaces are larger than in apartments and studios in residence. You will feel more autonomous right away and you will avoid the noise of coming and going in the corridors and other elevator noises.
In the more upscale accommodations, there are also balconies, perfect for enjoying incredible views with a cup of coffee or a glass of mulled wine in hand. Some rental chalets also offer facilities such as a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna or steam room. The ideal way to relax your muscles at the end of the day and recharge your batteries for the next day.
3- The Alps: a favorite destination for mountain lovers
Of the different massifs that France has, the Alps seduce a large number of vacationers who love the high mountains. By renting a ski chalet in the Alps, you can enjoy the view of mythical peaks, skiing adapted to all levels and exhilarating walks in the heart of coniferous forests and along the shores of Alpine lakes.
During the winter season, many resorts in the Alps come alive. In La Plagne, you will find a unique atmosphere in each of the eleven villages that make up the resort. All the winter sports are compulsory and you can vary the pleasures by joining the bobsleigh run or the Baths and Spa of La Plagne, 1 500m2 dedicated to well-being. In Val d'Isère, you can also enjoy optimal conditions for skiing and original activities such as ice climbing, fat biking or snow kiting. Tignes is another resort to join for its abundant snow, its generous sunshine and its slopes adapted to beginners and experts alike. Between two sessions, we take the time to discover other unusual activities to practice in the mountains, such as ice diving or a horseback ride on snow.
