Les Carines

This glorious 200-square-meter five-star (*****) chalet (rating accredited by the Alpe d’Huez tourism board) features 7 bedrooms with 8 baths (7 ensuite) accommodating 14 guests. Renovated in 2013-14 with the highest quality Alpine materials, Les Carines is nestled at an altitude of 1900m on the slopes of one of the Alps’ most spectacular ski resorts, l’Alpe d’Huez. The trails are but a three-minute walk away and you can ski your way back home–no need for a car or shuttle. In the summer, cycling (the climb up to l’Alpe d’Huez is one of the Tour de France’s most legendary challenges), horseback riding, tennis, golf, swimming, and an infinite array of hiking and mountain climbing trails are among the countless activities at your fingertips. Winter or summer, Les Carines boasts breathtaking views of one of the world’s most spectacular mountain ranges.
