  • “Our party all had a most wonderful holiday! Firstly, the quite unbelievable food from Marcus, dishes we would never have experienced but for his skill and passion in his kitchen. Secondly, the service we received from the moment we arrived from all the Saskia team was just right, relaxed but highly attentive, particularly from Mark who had just joined you apparently! Thirdly, Saskia catered for our family’s needs perfectly, we have been skiing for over two decades and this holiday was one of our best and finally, Vaujany the Alpe d'Huez Grande Domaine and near perfect weather and snow conditions just made our time with you more memorable, Many thanks”,

    Julian and Smart family, Chalet Saskia, XMAS 2011.

  • “Chalet hosts excellent all round. Fantastic food – best I’ve ever had at a chalet and I’ve stayed at quite a few. Also very tolerant and understanding of our children. Ski Leaders very helpful indeed-nothing seemed too much trouble”.

    D Watson, Chalet Rostaing, March 2009.

  • Snow Conditions

    Vaujany/Alpe d’Huez (3300m to 1100m) are currently blessed with some of the best snow conditions in the Alps. On the 28th December there were 115 groomed runs open (out of a possible 133); there was 210cms of snow pack at the top and 102cms at resort level. Both the Sarenne and La Fare are open and this is generally the litmus test for skiing conditions. Furthermore our accommodation and our staff are performing at tip top levels. Reserve your holiday with confidence.

Flights and transfers

Xmas and New Year flights!

We are pleased to offer WEDNESDAY flights at the beginning of the season from the 14th December through to the 11th January followed by a 4 night short-break from the 11th to the 15th January after which we shall revert back to SUNDAYS for the rest of the season. Wednesday flying is thus 14th December, 21st December, 28th December, 04th January and 11th January.

Our guests say...

“We had a lovely time. The flights were very civilised and leaving on Sunday worked well. Debbie and Owen were terrific chalet hosts, the weather was spectacular and the food in Rostaing was as delicious as ever. We can’t thank you enough for all Ski Peak does to make these holidays magical”.

Great news! For 2011/12 we have once again secured Sunday flights to Grenoble and at very civilised times!

Continuing from previous seasons’ success, we are delighted to be able to once again offer Sunday flights from Gatwick and Birmingham to Grenoble and transfers to Vaujany once in France (prior to 15th January on Wednesdays, see above). Once again we have secured a Southampton/Grenoble charter for high-season dates.

Best of all

The slopes are deserted on Saturdays, giving you an amazing last day’s skiing. With our late morning departure times on Sundays from both Gatwick and Southampton your journey should be relatively relaxed and Grenoble airport much quieter than earlier in the day. Here you will be met by a Ski Peak Rep and board our transfers to Vaujany by coach reserved exclusively for Ski Peak guests. Estimated journey time is 90 minutes, dependent on conditions.
