Powder N Shine unveil their second chalet “Le Chamois”

With the launch of their second chalet for their second year, Powder N Shine are able to offer couples, groups, families and individuals a distinctly personal and rustic Alpine skiing experience with a major focus on food and wine. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

A traditional, wooden built chalet filled with sophisticated character and charm, ‘Le Chamois” will endure the same painstaking renovations as Flocon des Neiges, their project last summer and will be worked on throughout the whole of this summer. Steve and Francesca, a British couple who moved to the area in 2009 were a team in Flocon des Neiges for the past season and will work in both of the chalets next season in order to keep hold of their personal touch of which their guests value enormously.

The fully catered chalet which sleeps 18, has a very large communal living and dining area, with a striking central fireplace that guests can enjoy. Following a full breakfast and an energetic day on the slopes, guests will be greeted back at the chalet with freshly baked cakes and treats before relieving their aches and pains in the chalet’s sauna and hot tub. Each evening a freshly prepared 4-course evening meal will be served in the dining room, complimented with carefully selected local wines before relaxing next to the fire.

The location of the chalet in Reberty Village in the Belleville Valley is part of the Three Valleys and offers easy access to other resorts such as Meribel, Courchevel and Val Thorens – a real hidden gem of the 3 Valleys. One major plus is its excellent location situated right on the piste to give fabulous ski in / ski out access. It also benefits from being at high altitude (2000m), allowing excellent snow all season.
