Eating

Fine food and drink are one of the pillars of everyday life at Chalet Margaux. The talented chefs are chosen from top restaurants and will use only the best gourmet ingredients to create imaginative and creative menus.

Each morning starts with smoothies, fresh coffees and teas to rouse you from your beds and then cereals, yoghurts, porridge, cheese and cured meats, fresh fruit salad and homemade pastries, breads and jams. That morning feast should see you through until you return from the slopes for an afternoon tea of homemade cakes and biscuits in the sitting room.

In the evenings, champagne and canapés are served while your chef prepares a gourmet four-course meal, followed by digestifs, coffees and homemade truffles. Your hosts want you to feel truly at home here so all your meals and menus can be tailored to your needs and wishes and tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks are all on tap whenever you want them.

On your chef’s night off, the staff will be happy to assist with restaurant bookings. We especially love the two-Michelin-starred restaurant at Le Chabichou.

Kids

Children are made to feel very welcome at this family-friendly luxury ski chalet in Courchevel 1850.

Your chef will be happy to either prepare children’s high tea early in the evening so that the grown-ups can enjoy a more leisurely meal later on, or put together menus that will appeal to all palates so that everyone can eat together. On the chef’s night off the chalet’s staff will help you book restaurant tables and even provide complimentary babysitting so you can enjoy your evening out knowing the kids are looked after.

Cots, highchairs, sterilisers, pushchairs and more are all available on request and the chalet’s staff can even stock up on things like wipes and nappies for you, to make packing that bit easier.

Stacks of board games, a PlayStation 3 with games and Apple TV, Sky and Netflix in the snug means they’ll never be bored. There’s even an iPad loaded with movies, so there needn’t be any arguments over the TV.

Chauffeured minibuses mean you never have to stress about getting children and all their kit to and from the slopes either.
