Description
Skibug specialises in great value, high altitude, catered ski chalet holidays in the French Alps. We are a small and friendly ski chalet company with traditional alpine ski chalets in La Plagne 1800. Our chalets are run by experienced and responsible hosts who serve freshly prepared, delicious and nutritious food.
Our prices include catered accommodation in one of our lovely chalets, free airport transfers, a ski hosting service and fantastic food with bottled wine. We can also arrange a private nanny service for the little ones. We use a very reputable, English speaking ski school in La Plagne and the equipment hire shop we use is consistently rated excellent by our guests.
Chalet la Ruche can accommodate either one large group or several smaller groups looking for a sociable skiing holiday. The chalet has a fantastic layout over three floors and loads of living space to accommodate all 16 guests. The warm and roomy entrance hall has room for everyone's ski and board equipment to be stored.
Skibug provides all the excellent service that you expect on a posh skiing holiday, with a lower price-tag and a down-to-earth attitude.
Facility Description
Chalet la Ruche has six twin bedrooms (five with ensuite) and two doubles (one is unusually large with an ensuite bathroom and space for a cot). The two bedrooms without ensuite, one double and one twin, share a shower-room and are ideal for a family of four (or even five if one is little).
The chalet has recently been decorated but retains its traditional chalet features including a large open-plan dining and lounge area with log fire and plenty of comfy sofas to accommodate all sixteen guests. There is an honesty bar that stocks beers, soft drinks & snacks, loads of books and DVDs (including plenty for the kids) and a few games to keep you entertained. A large balcony provides stunning views across the valley and there is plenty of outside space for the kids to play in the snow.
Location Description
The chalet has a great location amongst trees in the pretty wooded village of Plagne 1800. At the back of the chalet is a track that leads you, after a few minutes' walk (about 250m), to a blue piste (Loup Garou). From the bottom of this run you can take the new (for 09/10) Melezes and then Bergerie chairlifts that drop you above Plagne Villages, or take the 1800 chair that drops you just below Aime 2000 - basically you're in the heart of the ski area. At the end of the day you can ski back down the blue run and walk along the track back to the chalet. If you're not ready for blue runs (or don't fancy the walk) you can leave your hired equipment at our ski shop in Plagne Centre and catch the regular (and free) public bus that stops 50m from the chalet.
A free shuttle service from the chalet to Plagne Centre is available on five mornings if you leave your hire equipment in the shop overnight (this is a free service just for Skibug guests) or if you're meeting your ski school class in Plagne Centre (or if you just fancy the ride!). The shuttle runs until 10am.
