The chalet boasts an open plan lounge with comfortable seating and a wood burning stove. There are large French windows from this lounge with panoramic views of the valley.

Holiday Customisation
This holiday comes with the customisation of being able to choose where you ride!
The structure of the week is best suited to riding the first and last day in La Plagne. From previous experience an additional mid week La Plagne day works well to reset and have a slower paced day, However the mid week La Plagne local day is optionable and could also be another away day.
The customisable aspect of this trip ultimately will be down to a group decision where everyone decides where to visit on the bike park away days.
Self Driving
Self drives are welcomed. If you decide to drive to resort there is ample parking for your veichle. The drive will take roughly 9 hours from Calais and will cost an estimated 90 euros in tolls.
Lift Passes
Lift passes will be an additional cost which will vary group to group depending on the bike parks you choose to visit.
As a rough estimate you will need to budget £110 euros for a week of lift passes. These can be purchased before each days riding in resort.
Bike Hire
If you’d like bike hire this is something that needs to be pre booked. Allais Ski located in La Plagne centre offer DH, Enduro and Ebikes from €80 per day. Get in contact if you’d like assistance with this. Don’t forget to ask for the brakes to be changed to uk style!
