VIP SKI Blog

“Altitude lodge is an amazing Chalet in the most beautiful setting. The rooms are large and so are the bathrooms with most of the rooms having private terraces or balconies- some even hot tubs. The outdoor spaces at Altitude make the most of the stunning scenery. There is a large deck for outdoor lazing or dining- We did Pilates on it most mornings or HIIT sessions!

The VIP team at Altitude Lodge never seemed overwhelmed by our group which included 13 children and 8 adults. The staff went above and beyond our expectations. The food was excellent and the 2 amazing birthday cakes are just one example of the personalised service we received that week. 

We used VIP nannies and Lily in particular was outstanding. Lily organised so many fun activities for the children and she was so accommodating and resilient. Remember, she had to look after and co-ordinate 13 children- she needs a medal! 

There’s loads of activities available including mountain biking, white water rafting, horse riding, exploring the mountains, waterfall walks and the children especially loved the high ropes through the trees in Nyon. 

Our favourite walking/ running track from Altitude Lodge leads to the top of the Pleney in Morzine. The scenery is quite simply breath taking. From the top you can jump on the lift that takes you down into Morzine. There is a super fun luge there and the children loved it- so did the adults

Lake Montriond is one of the most beautiful places in the world! Our whole group spent the day paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming. The staff at Altitude Lodge packed us an amazing luxury picnic, which was way beyond our expectations.  

We had the most perfect action packed week staying at Altitude Lodge in Les Gets. Holidays do not get much better than this!  We made memories that will last forever and we all can't wait to go back next year.

Altitude Lodge is the ideal place to stay to experience this fantastic event.

We've still got rooms available if you fancy a summer breeak this month. Prices from £130 per room (based on two sharing) and includes half board catering. 

Or why not head over to our Alpe d’Huez chalets and experience the famous La Marmotte Cycling Race. On 2^nd July, over 7000 cyclists will attempt this popular cyclo-sportive event. The route takes you over 170km and climbs 5000m, with the final ascent taking you round the notorious 21 bends to Alpe d’Huez.

Gina worked in our Hotel Montjola in St Anton last season and is on hand to answer any questions you might have about the resort or the hotel. Looking for an exhilarating ski run? Take Red 14 from the top of Shindlergrat down to Blue 17 into Stuben for a blast all the way down – Gina says, “It’s even better if you don’t stop until you reach the end.” 

Having worked overseas for us for 3 years Nat has now joined us in the London office. If you need advice on our Hotel Montjola or our summer holidays in Alpe d’Huez, Morzine and Les Gets, Nat will be able to help you out. If you’re heading to Les Gets for the summer, Nat highly recommends the alpine mountain bike runs that take you over to Morzine from Les Gets. Once there, you can then chill out in the afternoon sun at Morzine’s glorious outdoor pool.

Also joining the team and taking on the role of Marketing Assistant is Rachel Phillips. Rachel worked in Val d’Isere back in 2012 in our Aspen Lodge Suite 8. Her favourite place to relax with some delicious food, great atmosphere (and a vin chaud) is the Tete de Solaise at the top of the Solaise chairlift.
