A high quality chalet with a sauna and hot tub in a central location close to the skiing and nightlife

Chalet Woodpecker, which sits alongside its sister ‘Chalet Nightingale’ is a beautifully decorated chalet, in a superb location in Alpe d’Huez. The chalet sits on Avenue de l’Eclose, which is located at the most southernmost part of the main village, just off the main route into the centre of town. The chalet is only a 5 minute walk from the busy centre of Alpe d’Huez. The easiest access for all levels to the piste is either via the lift Alpe Express or via the Telecentre Cabine, which are both just a few minutes’ walk from the chalet and the quickest way to access both the piste at Bergers and Grands Rousse. You can ski back down to just beside the Alpe Express, under the Telecentre Cabine although it can be narrow in places and dependant on snow conditions.

The Chalet

This spacious 7 bedroom chalet is set across three floors and has room for up to 15 guests, and inside is attractively decorated, with light-wood panelling and pastoral furnishings which give this chalet a relaxing yet stylish feel.

Entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor, where you’ll find a ski storage space complete with heated boot driers. There are also four twin bedrooms (90cm x 200cm) on this floor, each with en-suite shower rooms and WC. The remaining three bedrooms, of which there are two twin and one triple (90 x 200 cm) are located on the first floor, again each with an en-suite shower room and WC. Two of the rooms on the first floor share a spacious balcony, with great views of the surrounding mountains. The bedrooms are spacious and continue the attractive wood pannelled furnishings present in the rest of the chalet, which look traditionally Alpine whilst giving this chalet a fresh, clean and airy feel that makes it so relaxing.

On the first floor you’ll find the open plan living and dining space, next to which there are sliding doors that wrap around the corner of the building and open up onto a spacious balcony. With windows facing out of both sides of the building, you can sit back and enjoy incredible views from the table as you tuck into breakfast or dinner, or if the weather is kind to you, enjoy a cold après-ski beer on the balcony as you soak up the last of the sun’s rays. The kitchen sits close the dining room, and comes fully equipped with an oven, four-ring hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine and coffee percolator, so you’ll have everything required to rustle up a stunning meal for your friends and family.

On the lower ground floor you’ll find a wonderful relaxation space, shared with the neighbouring Chalet Nightingale, complete with indoor hot tub and sauna, providing the perfect space to relax those aching muscles after a challenging day on the ski slopes.

If you’re planning to drive, then there are four parking spaces located in front of the chalet, shared between Woodpecker and Nightingale. Please speak to our team to confirm how many spaces are available for your trip. There is free WIFI throughout, so whether you want to spend a relaxing evening streaming your favourite series, or you need to do some work whilst you’re away, you’ll be well covered in this lovely chalet.
