Residence L'Eclose

• Right by the lifts, so getting on the mountain is easy-peasy.
• Grab a pre-dinner drink in the bar.
• Fun for kids in Childcare, available to book at the Hotel Les Bergers*.

If being close to the slopes is key for you, these apartments will be right up your street. They share the same building as the Prestige Apart'Hotel L'Éclose, near the Alpe Express gondola. The centre of town is a little further away, but you can hop on the local buses for free with your lift pass that'll get you there in no time. And it's a 15-minute walk to our Childcare clubs at the Hotel Les Bergers.

It's industrial meets alpine when it comes to the décor. Cosy spaces with open fireplaces and traditional wood panelling contrast with sleek tiles and concrete walls, giving that traditional mountain style a modern twist. And floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the lobby bring the outside in, giving you a great view of the snow-covered slopes. But one of the best bits about these apartments is the indoor pool. The combo of its pale blue floor and the big, monochrome mountain print on the wall really makes you feel like you're swimming in mountain springs.

You'll stay self-catered here, so you can choose whether to channel your inner chef each evening or head out to taste-test some of Alpe d'Huez's restaurants. There are around 60 to choose from, so whether you're after traditional French food or an international fave, you're covered.

CHILDCARE
Our Pepi Penguin Nursery (6 months-4 years) and Beanie Bear Club (3-8 years) are based in the Hotel Les Bergers. You can book places in these childcare clubs if you stay in the Hotel Le Pic Blanc or Hotel Le Chaix. All Childcare is at an extra charge and must be pre-booked to guarantee a place.
PEPI PENGUIN NURSERY (6 MONTHS - 4 YEARS)
Pepi Penguin Nursery (6 months - 4 years) is run by our team of Childcare professionals and held in a dedicated room in the hotel equipped with games and toys. Outdoor play included (weather and parental consent permitting).

Pepi Penguin Nursery includes:

• Full-day care from 8.30am – 5pm
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day
• A daily routine and activities report for your child

Activities vary daily. We'll find time for stories, singing, arts and crafts including painting and collage making, plus messy play in the sand tray and free play with age-relevant toys set out for the children to choose what they want to do.

We're also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe snowy walks, a gondola ride or snow painting. And if your child is used to a sleep, we'll factor that in too.
BEANIE BEAR CLUB (3-8 YEARS)
Beanie Bear Club (3-8 years) provides plenty of fun-filled days as our childcare staff offer a combination of care and skiing, which includes 6 x morning ski lessons, pick-up and drop-off from ski lessons, lunch and either full-day or half-day care by staff in the dedicated Beanie Bear Club room.

Full-day Beanie Bear Club includes:
• Full-day care from 8.30am – 5pm
• 6 x morning ski lessons, ski school drop-offs and pick-ups*
• Child skis, boots and helmet hire
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day
• Afternoon games and outdoor fun.

Half-day Beanie Bear Club includes:
• Half-day care from 8.30am – 2pm
• 6 x morning ski lessons, ski school drop-offs and pick-ups*
• Child skis, boots and helmet hire
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day

* Lift passes aren't included as each child's needs are different. If and when your child feels confident enough to use the lifts, you'll need to buy a lift pass locally.

Activities vary daily – to include games, arts and crafts and storytime – and are often based around a theme.

We're also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe bus bingo, snowman competitions or a treasure hunt.
GOOD TO KNOW
Both Pepi Penguin Nursery and Beanie Bear Club run for 6 days and must be pre-booked to guarantee a place.

Please note, Childcare is at an extra charge, and in some instances does not extend the full length of the ski season. Give us a call to chat through your options.
