Chalet Hotel Escapade, Alpe D'Huez
As part of the Mountain Collection, Chalet Hotel Escapade offers free ski guiding and coaching with fully qualified Mountain Expert ski and snowboard instructors. Various sessions run throughout the week to introduce you to the ski area and improve your technique along the way. Skiers and snowboarders wishing to take part need to be over 18 (or 12 in school holidays) and be good enough to ski down blue and red pistes. You can sign up for the sessions at the chalet on your first day in resort..
The homely and relaxed Escapade is situated in a convenient location, just up from the Vieil Alpe (old town) area of Alpe d’Huez. A groomed track allows you to ski down to the chairlift that takes you into the main ski area and for most of the season it is possible to ski back to the hotel. The south-facing terrace is a great spot to enjoy an après ski drink, or if you’re in need of some serious relaxation, enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub or unwind in the sauna. For those looking for nightlife, the town centre and resort bars are an easy 5-minute walk away.
