SPECIAL OFFERS and what to expect on an Alpinium ski chalet holiday this Christmas. It's simply magical!

Skiing in the Three Valleys or Les Trois Vallees is on the list of places most skiers want to go. Some choose it every year. So in this blog I would like to investigate why The Three Valleys or Les Trois Vallee is so popular.

La Rosiere is just such a fabulous and magical resort. Here we share with you why we love it so much.

The French Alps aren't just for Winter. Lifts are open from July through to the end of August, so you can explore all the best hiking or mountain biking trails. The resorts are open and they hold a variety of local and cultural events throughout the summer to keep you entertained. With a multitude of activities on offer from mountain biking, hiking, road cycling, rock climbing to white water rafting and kayaking to name but a few and chalets in peaceful and beautiful locations, you can be as active as you like or simply rest and recharge with the views of the stunning mountains.

Our director recently travelled to France from the UK to begin setting up for the season and shares his experience.
