A charming lodge in the French Alps with gourmet dining, chalet board and all travel included
We're all familiar with the snow-doused environs of the French Alps in the wintertime, but these old friends adopt a new character over the summer months, offering a verdant terrain of picturesque pines, cascading falls and a whole new set of activities to enjoy. So swap your ski boots for your hiking shoes, your woolly hat for your favourite cap, and head to the Alps for a chalet stay in Samoëns.
The resort centre has a selection of restaurants, bars and shops, but you'll enjoy a real gourmet treat in your very own chalet. Chalet Samoens, voted as the best place to stay in the region on TripAdvisor (and which evidently also boasts a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence), is part of an exclusive group of chalets, owned by a former chef of Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck and Chez Bruce restaurant in London. You'll find all the attention to detail you'd expect over the winter season - think four-course dinners six nights a week and waking up to a bountiful breakfast of cooked and continental options.
Every room comes with an en-suite bathroom and flatscreen TV, and each can be rearranged to suit your situation - twin or double. You'll even find a wet room, complete with hot tub and sauna - the perfect place for a post-hike or post-bike soak to ward off any aches.
