Step away from bland purpose built chalets and into our charming ski lodge with bags of character and superb cuisine that is the perfect retreat of La Vieille Forge. Once the village smithy, this excellent chalet is just 250m from the Les Houches pistes (Chamonix's World Cup venue) and offers the best combination of attentive service, top facilities and wonderfully retro furnishings that embody the Alpine style.
After 25 years in Chamonix we pride ourselves on our excellent chalet service, provided in La Forge by three dedicated staff members including our talented chef. Your chalet team will facilitate your holiday arrangements; from your airport collection and daily in resort minibus service to making sure your chalet is beautifully clean and providing sublime cuisine, as you would expect from a resort specialist.
Each day we offer a substantial cooked breakfast, scrummy after ski tea and on 5 evenings, a superb 4 course dinner with canapés and wines. On your penultimate evening we offer a lighter 'farmhouse supper' and on chalet staff day off we'll drop and collect you from your chosen restaurant so you can really relax!
For families we offer delicious home cooked children’s high tea and our chefs are always happy to oblige with special requests, birthday cakes and vegetarian options!
Each bedroom is ensuite or enjoys an adjacent facility. In some of the bathrooms we have used beautiful Italian limestone tiles. The Forge has bags of character and is enhanced by our collection of lovingly collected ski memorabilia, books, vintage ski's and original posters. We've also included every home comfort to make your stay a real pleasure; a sauna and exterior hot tub, WiFi and SKY. We also have a dedicated treatment room allowing guests a private space in which to enjoy a relaxing massage from a trained therapist. Children will enjoy the 50" plasma TV with Wii Sport and the table football and chalet games!
