The chalet during the ski season........

During the winter ski season, guests will have the full run of the chalet and its facilities. Our local agents will ensure that the chalet is clean and tidy and the beds made up for your arrival and will also come once again during the week to clean.

Chalet guests will find a full guide to making the most of the chalet and its facilities.

Extreme care must be taken if young children are joining your party as the jacuzzi presents an ever present danger and the suspended fireplace can get very hot.

The winter deal....

The winter cost....

During peak seasons during the 2009/10 season(Christmas and New Year weeks; February half term weeks) the cost of the hire of the chalet is 3,200 Euros per week based on a Saturday arrival and departure.

Outside peak seasons during the ski season, the cost is between 1,400 and 1,700 Euros per week.

We are happy to accept payment in £ sterling by cheque. The applicable exchange rate will be quoted at the time of booking.

There is no specialist equipment for babies and the open plan nature of the chalet makes it unsuitable for very young children. We are happy to discuss with you any questions you may have about toddlers and can put you in touch with local creches as we can not offer any babysitting or daytime care.

When the snow has gone...

Outside of the ski season La Croix Merdionale is offered to guests during the months of July and August (2009) in the sum of 1,700 Euros per week and at all other times, apart from school holiday weeks, in the sum of 950 Euros per week. Please do look at our summertime page to see just a few of the many varied activities available in the Manigod and La Clusaz valleys, at Annecy and the lake and in the wider surrounding area.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

1. The whole chalet for up to 12 guests
2. All linen, towels for use within the chalet and toiletries;
3. Use of the sauna (the jacuzzi does not operate outside of the winter ski period);
4. Use of walking maps and our guide of things to do;
5. Outdoor table and chairs for eating al fresco;
6. Regular cleaning of the chalet. Daily cleaning can be requested at an additional charge;
7. Meet and greet services from Miriam who will also trouble shoot for you during your stay.

One of the best times of the year is to go in June when the alpine flowers are at their best and when the valley is blissfully quiet.

Summer tends to linger as well and in September and in to early October the weather can still be lovely and the views of the changing foilage stunning indeed.
