Accomodation Review - Alpe D'Huez - Hotel Le Chamois

Alpe D'Huez – Hotel Le Chamois - HolidayAlps

Hotel Le Chamois is situated in the Centre of Alpe D'Huez, and provides genuine doorstep skiing and access to the superb resort.  Alpe D'huez is made for a long weekend, around an hour away from Grenoble airport by car, all bar the last famous hairpins pretty much on Autoroute.



Hotel Le Chamois

Hotel Le Chamois is a relatively small hotel situated above the famous Underground Bar (also run by the hotel and definately worth a visit)  It provides clean and basic flexible accomodation in a variety of formats, Bed only, B&B or half Board.  Rooms vary in size, and when we stayed we had a very adequate 4 bed room, with balcony.  Food in the hotel is great, buffet breakfast and a 3 course meal every evening.




Hotel Le Chamois - typical room

 

Staff in the hotel are friendly and in most cases are returning seasonnaires, who will be happy to give you advice on the best on and off piste skiing.

The resort itself is superb, offering the longest Black RUn in Europe - La Sarenne at around 17km, and the option to complete 4 different top to bottom of the mountain runs of over 2000m without touching a lift.  Our personal favourite is "The Tunnel" which was knee deep in Powder in the last week in March....fantastic.

In summary a great option for a short ski break due to high snowsure resort and easy transfer from Grenoble airport.
