Are you ready to ski? Flights are now out for the whole season!

Are you ready to ski?  Flights are now out for the whole season! I hope you're enjoying the last few balmy days of summer because winter really is just around the corner and it's promising to be a great one.  Flights have now been released from Easyjet and the like for the whole season so you can now book for March and April in the picturesque and beautiful resort of Megeve.    Keeping prices low for school holidays!   Easter is late this year and flights are not cheap but we've kept our accommodation prices low for school holiday weeks and as a little extra, we'd like to offer £50/person off our catered chalets for w/c 7th April!  Prices start at just £550/person in our catered chalet/hotel Sylvana and Rond Point. We are also offering £200/person off for the week of New Year in our superior chalet Les Clochettes and £100/person off for w/c 17th Feb (half term) in all our catered chalets. There's also short breaks available for all holiday periods and if flights are looking too expensive, have you thought about driving?  It's an easy 550 mile drive from Calais on motorways all the way except the last 20 mins.  Very straightforward.  Don't miss this great opportunity to get the kids skiing this hols!   See our special offers! Introducing our new apartment Le Chamois!   As it's name suggests, this could not be a more central apartment in Megeve.  It is metres from the Christmas tree in the central square, 50m from the Chamois lift so straight up for ski school etc. and right in the thick of it for all the Megeve charm, cobbled streets, horse drawn caleches and of course wonderful bars and restaurants.  Yet, this apartment is at the back of the building so is quiet.  It is ideal for a romantic getaway having one double bedroom as well as a comfortable sitting room/dining area with balcony and well equipped kitchenette.  However, it could also suit a family of four, who don't mind being a little cozy, as there are also bunk beds in an alcove off the main corridor.  Short breaks and ski weekends are available as well as week's.  Click here for more details!   Welcome back Chalet Centrale! It's taken a while to secure the Chalet Centrale for this season but we're delighted to announce that we are signing the leases as we speak and will have this popular centrally located chalet back for the season.  Sleeping 4 people in a double and a twin bedded room with a comfortable sitting/dining room and separate kitchen.  It is nice and spacious and only a couple of minutes walk to the central square and ski lift.  The supermarket is just round the corner although don't forget, we offer semi-catered option (delivered dinner and breakfast) at most of our self-catered properties if you don't feel like cooking!  This property also has private parking and a large garden, perfect for snowball fights! Book Now or Check Availability We hope to be able to welcome you to Megeve again next season!  Please do give us a call on 01603 477471 or drop us an email if we can help you in any way.

The Beast from the East hits Megeve & Norwich!

Are you looking at all this snow out of your window and dreaming of skiing?!

It's fair to say that over the last few days we've had more than our usual share of the white stuff here in the U.K. The only problem is that there are no mountains (or ski lifts) to make use of and this country is not geared up for heavy snow...

As 'The Beast from the East' swept across the U.K, our Norwich office was covered with a wintry blanket. We have all been snowbound with poor Debbie unable to reach the office for two days.  Meet our snowman!



Oodles of snow in Megeve with more to come this weekend.  It's been minus 15 out there so very chilly- super conditions though!  This season is set to be a record breaker for snow.
This pic was taken by staff in Megeve today



If it is skiing you dream of, we have some fantastic offers available in both our catered and self catered chalets with prices starting from just £300 for 3 nights. Great deals on short breaks and ski weekends as well as week prices.  All you need to do is find your flights and we'll take care of the rest.  The base is around 2 metres now and there's another 50cm forecast this weekend.  It's really going to be fab for the end of the season.

With 445km of freshly groomed pistes and levels to suit all abilities, there really is no better time to make the most of our fantastic deals and head out to Megeve for a short break or week in a magical playground that is completely set up for fun in the snow!
As always, we're here to help if you have any questions at all - fortunately, we all get to visit Megeve with our families at least once a year, so we know the resort really well.

Hope to hear from you soon

First snow of the season and New sauna in our superior chalet Les Clochettes!

First snow of the season!

Always nice to see our first smattering.  It was snowing even down to town level in Megeve, turning everything white.  It won't last long at this time of the year but it certainly puts us in the mood to ski!  Only a couple of months to go!

New sauna in our superior chalet Les Clochettes!

That's right, the workmen have been hard at work over the past month redeveloping the garage area of our superior chalet Les Clochettes and installing a lovely shiny sauna. After a hard day on the slopes it'll be a welcome relief to slip inside the sauna and soothe those aches and pains away! We're already quite booked up in the Clochettes so do call or email us asap if you'd like to come and enjoy the new facilities.
