For something a little bit different while staying at l’alpaga, why
not enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the pretty resort

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

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 Montana

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

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
