Winter approaches

Alpine Inspirations ( www.alpineinspirations.com ) in Les Gets here writing with exciting news for the forthcoming ski season. 

The chalets are filling up fast - however we do still have some great weeks available. Christmas is still available in chalet Intime. Although half-term week of the 19th February has sold out in all of our chalets, we do still have space available in other February weeks. Many schools will be breaking up for easter over the first two weeks of April and there are still many properties available then.

We have taken on a few great, new chalets for the forthcoming season. Chalet Blanc is a large and welcoming chalet, capable of sleeping up to 15 guests, and it comes beautifully appointed, and with all of the luxuries you would expect from a top end chalet: wifi, satellite television, and an outdoor hot tub. We have just dropped the prices in this chalet and it is very good value indeed.

Another excellent new property is our apartment at Volets Bleus. Unlike most ski apartments this is clean and beautiful and modern. It occupies the ground floor of an impressive chalet just by the lake in Les Gets - just a couple of minutes from the piste and a brand new, piste-side restaurant. It is perfect for a couple to have a quick ski break without the hassles of organising a big group. 
Learn more >

Just about to finish a major rebuild is Chalet Celine. The owner is in the property business and is finishing the chalet to the highest possible standard. From the plasma screens to the high-end kitchen, this place is a real stunner. 
Learn more > 

We have kept many familiar properties too, and we have just dropped the prices in the ever-popular Les Eglantines. It has great views over the town and slopes but is just minutes walk to the town centre and pistes.

Hurry and book if you want to stay in Chalet Manon, Les Cofis or the pied-a-terre apartment La Parisienne as there are just a couple of weeks left in each.
