Chalet Begonia

FAMILY BOOKING ONLY - AT LEAST 1 CHILD 16 OR BELOW MUST BE TRAVELLING

Chalet Begonia occupies the second floor of the Ferme d'Elisa building where we run four chalet apartments and is also the base for one of our resort Snow Clubs and Nurseries. If you're looking for all round convenience in terms of ski access and the proximity to our childcare, as well as family-friendly accommodation the Begonia has it all.

There is a comfortable open plan dining and lounge area, complete with a large stone fireplace, beamed ceiling and large picture windows leading to the balcony, with fabulous views over the Tarentaise valley. The three family rooms have two separate sleeping areas, as well as their own en suite or private facilities. In addition there is a separate twin room between two of the suites, so it's perfect for larger family groups booking both for 6.

Additional facilities within the building are shared with guests in the other three chalets with a Children's Snug on the upper floor, accessed via the central stairway. This room is unsupervised so please keep an eye on your children and remember to bring your family's favourite DVDs. The ski and boot room and a sauna are on the ground floor adjacent to our Snow Club base.

Meals in Chalet Begonia, La Rosiere

Fine Cuisine at Chalet Bergonia:

Includes a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 3-course evening meals with wine and coffee to complete the evening 5 days a week.

For 5 days of the week the staff prepare all your meals for you as described. The majority of parents feel that young children can inhibit the dinner-party atmosphere at evening meals, especially if they are over-tired, so children under 13 years are served High Tea at around 5.30pm. They are not then permitted to join adult dinner, as they are generally happier either getting some rest ready for tomorrow’s adventures, or if 6 years old or more, joining our child care staff in Cocoa Club.

Family Dining Chalets:

For those families who prefer to eat together with their younger children, we offer our Family Dining option in selected chalet of up to 12 beds, if you book the whole chalet for your own party, subject to chalet suitability. Everyone then eats together in the evening, starting at 6.30-7.00pm. The meals are based on our adult menus, with some flexibility for younger taste buds, although not a complete ‘à la carte’ choice! The additional charge for changing meals to Family Dining is £39 per child.

On their 2 day off per week, your host in chalets will prepare a Continental-style breakfast which will be left for you to help yourselves. Those evenings, you and your family then have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants, which your Reps will be happy to help you arrange.

Breakfast:

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Piste Picnics:

Our Chalet Hotel teams can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For those keen to keep their Eurospending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!

Afternoon Tea:

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet, ready for your return, every day except the team’s one day off each week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake – different every day!

Children’s High Tea:

High Tea provides children under 13 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children’s tastes than our main adult dinner, and puréed food is also always available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 36 months at High Tea please, whilst children from 3-12 years will be supervised by the staff.

Adult Dinner in Chalets:

4-course dinners for adults (and children 13 and over only) start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert. The meal is accompanied by a choice of wines, unlimited during the meal service, with freshly chilled water also always available, and followed by complimentary coffee or tea to round off your evening.

Special Diets:

Vegetarian options are always on our ‘Culinary Choice’ menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared.

NB - evening meals are 5 nights of 7 from winter 2018-2019 onward!
