Go Beyond Alpine Adventure

Where you'll be staying...

The Hotel les Catrems, is a cosy, alpine, independent family-run hotel, with an ice rink and swimming pool, fantastic bar and restaurant, all with a friendly atmosphere. Each comfortable bedroom is clad in wood and has stunning mountain views. The hotel is central in resort with direct access to the slopes and a short 10-minute bus ride to the ski school.

Food, glorious food!

The French are known worldwide for their delicious cuisine, and we will be spoilt for choice with the Hotel les Catrems breakfasts, picnic lunches and dinner.

Breakfast will consist of cereal, fresh fruit, bread with jams and honey, yoghurts and eggs, fruit juices and tea, not forgetting of course, everyone’s French favourite, croissants, pains au chocolat and fresh, black coffee.

The hotel will prepare a healthy picnic lunch for us so that we can enjoy eating together on the slopes and make the most of our time in the clear, mountain air.

After a day’s skiing, we can look forward to a 3-course dinner as we gaze out at the spectacular snowy panoramic view from our warm and cosy table. The evening meal is an authentic and traditional Alpes affair; expect such dishes as, Savoy Fondue, Bourguignone Fondue as well as the local Champsaur Valgaudemar Valley specialities.

We will meet at London Heathrow airport and you will be supported on the flight to Lyons in South of France.
