Matthew and Helene operate a minibus service to transport our guests to and from the ski areas and away-days can be arranged to nearby resorts i.e., in nearby Italy, a thirty minute drive away. (Turin is the venue for the 2006 Winter Olympics). In effect our guests always have a vehicle and driver at their disposal during the day and early evening.

The chalet is situated above Briançon, the highest town in Europe, which is surrounded by a wealth of history and pre-Napoleonic fortifications.
