About Us

  • We're one of Chamonix's longest running chalet operators having met in 1984 on our 'gap' year and then opening our first modest chalet the following winter
  • We're a fully registered French/Anglo 'Siret' business and La Forge is registered as a para-hotel fully compliant with local fire regs. We work closely with the owners of our other chalets ensuring that the standards of all our properties is consistently excellent.
  • We are a fully registered and insured transport company, Tim holding the International CPC licence. We have a small fleet of luxury 8 seater minibuses allowing us to transport our guests to and from the airport and around the vicinity in safety and comfort.
  • We live in the valley full time and are part of the community. We offer our personal involvement, from your initial telephone enquiry down to the smallest details in the chalet working with you and our team in the run up to your holiday to ensure that all you need is booked in advance so you can relax on your arrival.
  • Extra services at no extra charge! We'll deliver your booked ski equipment and passes direct to your door, your shopping, make you a birthday cake, a picnic or book you a local masseur or even a helicopter!
  • Over 24 years in the business has allowed us to hone our holidays and we work with the best local services available, from superbly patient instructors to dynamic Mountain guides we know the 'right man' for the job!
  • Having worked in the chalets first hand for many years (Tim hosting and Gaby cooking) our new staff are trained pre-season to deliver the best holiday and our interest in local food means our chefs offer fantastic cuisine on a par with any of Chamonix's good hotels and popular restaurants.
  • Our chalets are gorgeous... and our guests are always telling us how much better they look than the photo's on the web site.
  • We want to offer environmentally conscious holiday options. Our new property Eco farm has been re-built on a 'green' basis with geothermic heating and a rain water capture system. We can offer organic catering to groups (been offering this for years, it's not some new fad for us!) and we have instructed our cooks to when available to only buy free range eggs for our catering.
