Morzine, Alps ● Chalet GourmetSki This lovingly refurbished, 100+ year old farmhouse is an eco-friendly haven. Surrounded by Alpine peaks and bubbling brooks, Richard and Fiona have created the perfect mix of luxury and rustic. The owners put their years of Michelin starred experience to work crafting delectable meals using locally sourced, organic ingredients (many of which come from their own garden). Relax after the day’s ride in either the chalet’s hot-tub or sauna before dining under the stars. Vaujany, Alps ● Chalet Saskia The Chalet Saskia is set into the hillside just before the unspoiled mountain village of Vaujany and it’s world-class ski resort. This welcoming chalet is blessed with fantastic views across the valley and onto the breathtakingly beautiful Alps, of which, our dinner area and all rooms face. This is a cyclist’s paradise for the close proximity to Alpe d’Huez and other classic climbs of le Tour, not to mention that a recent Tour de France stage passed just in front of the chalet. Annecy ● Abbaye de Talloires Set along the shores of Lake Annecy, this XVII century monastery has been beautifully transformed into a 4 star luxury hotel. The Abbaye abounds with history and the owners convey this perfectly in the hotel’s design while providing every comfort. Surrounded by a lovely park that runs directly down to their private lakeside lounge, it is ideal for sun bathing or a refreshing swim. For our last evening together, we’ll dine lakeside under the fireworks as the French celebrate Bastille Day. |
