Ski Season Bookings Once Again A Great Success

Whilst it is certainly too early to talk about the ski season being a success, after a slow start, this season looks set for record sales! This may or may not reflect our continued success and growing reputation as one of the best luxury catered ski chalets in the Chamonix Valley and certainly the premier ski in ski out holiday chalet. Certainly our reputation as one of the best luxury chalets means that we certainly can't stand still as others quite rightly seek to copy our success.

The ski in ski out location will be hard to surpass, but that's only part of our success and we are already thinking about next year in respect of how we take the luxury ski chalet service up a level or two. On this note, we have already added a sixth bedroom and your favourite ski in ski out chalet now accommodates 12 people in six luxuriously appointed bedrooms. At the end of the ski season we will be added a Games Room as well fully fitted with a pool table, home cinema television, Wii, children's toys, to name just a few.

So for those who are asking what is behind Chamonix Exclusive's success and appeal to all, quite simply its because at this luxury catered ski chalet, we never stand still!

Ski In Ski Out - Great Mountain Restaurants Chamonix

If you are visiting Chamonix Valley, and Les Houches in particular, and you love great mountain restaurants, the Chamonix Exclusive Ski in Ski Out Blog may be of interest to you as today's blog covers the fantastic (good), the bad, and the ugly Mountain Restaurants. But if there is one restaurant in the Chamonix Valley that stands out, it has to be the Vieilles Luge:

Vielles Luge - Les Houches, Chamonix
As you will see from the blog, this is a mountain restaurant that is a must visit for any skier who thinks skiing should be a gastronomic delight as much as it should about great skiing holiday. 250 years old, a rustic farmhouse where the warm welcome is somehow surpassed by the fantastic cuisine. Lower your head, step inside, and just take in the charming, quaint, rustic, savoyard, cosy,  all rolled in to one. And if you bump into Julie and Claude, give them our regards, and then savour the occasion!

Luxury Ski Chalet

If you follow our Luxury Ski Chalet News Page or Luxury Ski Chalet Blog at our Chamonix Exclusive site, you will have noted that Chris Hogg and Ruby Mahil left our ski in ski out organisation with immediate effect last week. For legal reasons I can not provide any further details on this.

Whilst we had a number of candidates apply, the position has now been filled, and we thank our interim chef for the fine food she served out our luxury ski chalet.

Running A Luxury Ski Chalet Is Never Dull

The last few weeks have certainly not been dull here. Many of you will have seen the press reports relating to Les Houches and Chalet Prarion and needless to say, a great deal is just speculative journalism and inappropriate in our view at that. The fact that Chalet Prarion has no employee by the name of 'Chris May', as the press claim, and never have had, speaks volumes in respect of the credence some of the reports in our opinion should be given!

On a brighter note, a happy New Year and we hope you had a great Christmas! If any readers went on a Christmas ski, or New Year ski break, lets us know your thoughts and accounts and we will try and publish one or two.

I look forward to completing a more in depth blog when I have time and perhaps the next one can focus on the luxury ski chalets in Les Houches in view of the recent attention Les Houches and the most exclusive ski in ski out chalet has received.
