Facilities

You will be staying in the heart of the French Alps with all of the activities a short drive from the chalet.

The Training

Please see the itinerary for the schedule of activities taking place during the week. All the classes are hosted by the retreat trainers, as well as the one-to-one assessments.

We have the following facilities available;

Running Trails

We have 1000s of running trails direct from the chalet. Whether you want to take it easy along the river or get some hill training in, the trails offer something for everyone.

Road Running

There are many quiet roads around the chalet suitable for group running sessions or for those looking for a solitary run. We can point you in the right direction to ensure you get the work out you are looking for.

Swimming

There is a pool very close to the chalet. However, Annecy Lake, the cleanest lake in Europe, is on the doorstep to practice open-water swimming.

Cycling

We are surrounded by cols made infamous by the Tour de France. There is no better place to hone your cycling skills than in the French Alps.

Walking

There is fabulous walking from the door of the chalet, for all fitness levels. Whether you want to mosey around the local villages or head up to a mountain top, we provided guided walks or, if you want some time to yourself, talk to us about the best places to go.

Adventure Assault Course

There are lots of Parcours Aventures in the area, which are similar to Go Apes in the UK. Swing from the trees, cross rope bridges and zip-wire through the forest for a great afternoon of fun.

Canyoning

Shoot down natural rock-slides, abseil down cliff faces and jump in to mountain pools. Following the river downstream, canyoning takes you in to the wild places for some extreme fun. Guides and equipment are provided.

Mountain Biking

There are 1000s of km of bike trails through the Alps. You can choose to follow a flat path along the river or head up to the ski lifts and hurtle downhill. We provided guided mountain bike rides or can advise you where to go to have fun. Bikes and equipment can all be hired locally.

Horse Riding

There are riding schools or places to hack out through the valley. If you want to head in to the mountains for the day, we can arrange hacks for all riding standards. Guides and equipment are provided.

Paragliding

There is nothing as magical in the world as soaring above the mountains like an eagle on a tandem paraglide flight. We highly recommend you have a go whilst you are with us. The instructors we use are all fully qualified so you’re in the best hands.

Climbing

There is some fabulous climbing in the area. Climbing is great fun for all of the family and you can be sure of a good work out. Take a guide and head out to the local climbs for beginners through to advanced climbers.

Chalet Facilities

The chalet has a terrace, sauna and a hot tub. There is a communal lounge, with cable TV, DVDs and games, and a large communal dining room. Meals are served on the times outlined in the programme.

Transport

Transfers to and from the airport and local transport will be provided for you. If you wish to go further afield, we can arrange transport for you.

Spa Treatments

We know a number of fabulous masseurs in the area. If you wish to have any form of spa or physiotherapy treatment, we can arrange these for you at the chalet.
