If you feel you are loosing control or going to fast, try laying to you side. This will allow you to have a controlled "crash" and you'll be much less likely to hurt yourself or others than if you were to loose control and unintentionally crash.Submitted ski tip

Darkoum is a four storey, freestanding chalet containing three comfortable apartments (Darkoum A, B and C) with a high ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms. For skiing, Darkoum is well positioned just across the road from the Bellecote piste, making it almost ski-in ski-out and perfect for families.


Darkoum A is well suited to families or adult groups. Spread over the two lower floors, joined internally by means of a spiral staircase. On the upper floor there is the spacious open plan living area with log fireplace and the dining room. From here, you can enjoy dramatic views down the mountain from the triple aspect windows. Outside is a large balcony, ideal for soaking up the views in the warmer months. There are also two bedrooms on this floor, both with en-suite bathrooms.


On the lower ground floor, the three remaining bedrooms share two bathrooms and all have full length French windows. There is a games and TV room with DVD player and an Xbox 360, ideal for children. Access between the ground and lower floor is via a narrow spiral staircase.


For larger groups, two or three of the Darkoum apartments can be taken together to accommodate up to 23 guests.


Chalet Darkoum A features 2 en-suite double bedrooms and 3 twin/double bedrooms which share a further two bathrooms. All of the rooms are airy and well proportioned. The bathrooms are attractively finished in a contemporary style and complemented with fluffy towels and bathrobes and organic bathroom products.

Childcare

This operator pioneered skiing holidays with childcare and this is an optional extra that many families consider indispensable. We offer childcare from 4 months and ensure that children have the most fantastic holidays and that parents can completely relax with peace of mind that their family is in great hands. Your children can be taken to and collected from ski lessons and will be kept entertained with a varied and imaginative activity programme and given healthy home made lunches and snacks.


Our childcare staff are qualified professionals and guests can opt to have a private nanny service. Babysitting is available too. A wide range of equipment for babies and toddlers can be provided to all guests on request, mostly free of charge.


Private nanny

Qualified (CACHE trained or similar) nannies who are recruited for their mature but fun approach to childcare. This operator offers pre-season training, which includes a comprehensive first aid course. Nannies provide a structured day including food, entertainment and transport to and from lessons.

 

Baby sitting

Baby sitting is available in the evenings on a request basis and is chargeable per hour.

Menu options:

In your luxury catered chalet the fire pops and crackles in the background as you sip a glass of Laurent-Perrier, and take bite of a mouthwatering canapé. As your attentive host discreetly fills your glass, you can lie back and relax as the muscles in your legs buzz with the day's activities.


Incredible smells drift from the kitchen, where your private chef is putting the finishing touches to dinner: Paprika wafer with tiger prawns, followed by filet of beef and thyme rosti. And when the sticky toffee and cardamom pudding appears, you realise resistance is futile.


Unlike the set menu you’ll be served by other chalet operators, our ski chalet chefs tailor the menu to your personal taste. Enjoy five-course gourmet dinners in Flagship and Premier chalets and four courses in Original chalets. Delicious breakfasts are also served and you can enjoy tea in bed each morning too.


Alternatively, if you're a hotel guest you can rest assured that our handpicked luxury ski hotels are chosen not only for their character and service, but their exquisite dining. In addition, we can advise on which resort and mountain restaurants you might like to sample during your ski holiday.


Sample chalet menu

Our chefs like to tailor their menus to their guests, so this is merely a sample of a typical Flagship or Premier menu to whet your appetite. They use the finest local ingredients to produce gourmet meals - so you'll feel like you're eating in a fabulous restaurant every night.

Fine wine

If you choose to stay here, you’ll enjoy Laurent-Perrier Champagne, and instead of a carafe of anonymous chalet wine, you’ll be served a choice of carefully selected bottles, such as Bois d’Yver Chablis, Pouilly Fume and Cadillac Bordeaux.


Each wine is carefully selected by our master of wine, Keith Isaac, alongside our Food & Beverage manager and Andrew Dunn himself. Andrew has been personally involved in making sure that everything we do is of the highest quality, which includes offering only the finest ingredients to our guests. Every year, each wine is tasted and considered by this group, the culmination of which is a fine wine menu of superb quality and diversity.
