|
Does anyone know how far this is from the main resort (bars restaruants, nightclubs?)
I'm trying to oragnise a chalet holiday and Neilson's have a Chalet Altiport and according to their website it's in the "Altiport" area but I can't establish where that is!!
Thanks

10-15mins (flat) walk I'd say. It's very well placed for the Marmottes lift

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

nightshift,
On the right hand side of the village, you see the planes taking off quite often. It appears to be just a little lowr than the general resort level. And the piste that takes you down there is pretty well accessible from most runs home to the village as I recall

nightshift, there are lots of v nice looking chalets over there. new but in traditional style. much more attractive than the main bit of ADH and with great views. sounds like you need to bring your mates to order

Here's a link to the AlpeD'Huez Map

We stayed in 'Berger' last year (and the year before) that takes around 15mins to town.
You'll see the altiport area is a good way past Berger and it's uphill on the way home. But it will clear the head for the morning.
Having said that ADH is a great resort and I'd recommend it.
Hope it helps.

Phatairs, you must have had very sore thighs or just a couple too many vin chauds! I do it most days with a pram and it takes 5 mins!!
Altiport chalets are lovely and in a great postion but if you are looking to go partying every night till late it is a trek and a bit beyond the bergers area and as Phatairs its pretty uphill too! Depends what you're looking for really. I have a friend of mine who has just recently taken over one of the Neilson chalets and created a small TO www.skialacarte.co.uk is her website and worth a look. I manage a few chalets over there if you fancy self-catering?

sarah@alpedhuez, Your friends chalet looks lovely and I've got to say, after looking around a lot the last couple of weeks, it looks like great value for money.
I wish my friends would sort their acts out so we could actually book something.
Thanks for the info.

nightshift, If you do manage to organise everybody and want to book - mention my name, you never know it might help a little!!?

This chalet does look very lovely - and the sauna helps! I think it used to be a Platinum Chalet for Neilson, (from looking in last years brochure) but now it seems Ski a la Carte have taken it over. For the better I suspect as they offer gourmet 5 course meals and probably much better service, as you tend to get that with smaller operators. Sounds like my sort of holiday...!!!
