Chalet la Vieille Forge
Weekend and Short Ski Breaks
Available
THE CHALET
La Vieille Forge (near Les Houches Pistes) is a comfortable catered
chalet that can be hired for short breaks as well as standard
weekly holidays, and is ideal for singles and groups.
If you are looking for a truly charming mountain lodge, well run with
superb cuisine then look no further, you have found La Forge! Owned and
operated by us for many years we have spent considerable time and effort
creating the kind of chalet that we ourselves would like to stay in!
Our flag-ship chalet is just 250m from the Les Houches pistes,
Chamonix's World Cup venue (and one of only two ski area's in France able
to host the race!)
The chalet nestles in woodland, by a stream and close to the pistes.
We have a resident French chef, minibus service day and evenings and
charming chalet hosts (see visitors comments)
The Forge has bags of character enhanced by our collection of ski
memorabilia, ski books and posters, and modern amenities such as a sauna,
Satellite TV and ADSL. There are 7 bedrooms and 7 bath or shower/WC
facilities sleeping up to 16 guests.
A PASSION FOR FOOD
If you, like us, consider good food an integral part of a good holiday,
then look no further! Our interest in food is drawn from many strands.
Tim was raised on a country small-holding where meals originated
from the organic veggie plot and the Sunday dinner roast, had recently
been running around the fields!
I grew up hanging around the kitchens of my parents restaurant. In
between ski seasons we cooked and ran hotel barges for an exacting
American clientele!
We would love to go 100% organic, but budget constraints make this
difficult (although, we do still offer this as an option!)
We use the freshest ingredients, we don't stick to a set menu (how
boring!) preferring the inspiration of our talented cooks. They will cook
what's in season, combine their favourite dishes with your requests and
come up with some great food!
