General description
In a beautiful and quiet location, a few kilometers from Vaujany, the spacious chalet Lac Douce can be found. This chalet offers an amazing unobstructed view on the lake 'Lac du Verney' and the surrounding mountains that reach up to over 3000 meters. The chalet has had a change of ownership early in 2016 and the new owner has provided the chalet with new furniture and a Wi-Fi internet connection. There is plenty of parking space available at the chalet.
The ski bus departs at only 10 meters from the chalet. This ski bus goes twice every morning and twice at the end of the day. If you choose to go by car, then it will take you about 10 minutes to reach the ski lift and slope in the centre of Vaujany. This cable-car will take you directly into the heart of the large skiing area of Alpe d'Huez (250 km of slopes!). There is plenty of parking space at the cable-car. In Vaujany you can also find all kinds of facilities, like a ski school, supermarket, restaurant and a ski rental shop. Furthermore, there is an indoor ice rink and a big swimming pool with a water slide, paddle pool, sauna and hammam. A valid lift pass (of at least six days) can be used to get one free entrance to the ice rink and swimming pool.
Chalet Lac Douce is a comfortable chalet where you can very pleasantly stay with a large group of people. Because there is a separate living room and dining room, it is very easy for the group to split up in the evening. This way there will be plenty of room for the board game fanatics as well as for the ones that prefer to relax in front of the TV.
In December 2020 a new cabin lift will be opened in the nearby village of Allemond. This cabin lift takes you from the valley in 8 minutes to the village of Oz-en-Oisans. The valley station of this "Eau d'Olle Express" can be found at 4500 meters (about 7 minutes by car) from Chalet Lac Douce and has enough parking spaces.
Chalet Lac Douce is built against the mountainside and is divided over four floors. The entrance, living room, dining room and kitchen are all situated on street level, which is the third floor.
Living room with a beautiful high ceiling, sitting area with a television and fireplace. Extra dining table in the living room. Separate, nicely decorated dining room with large dining table, bar and television. Spacious kitchen, fully equipped with e.g. five hot plates, extra large oven, American fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, coffee machine, kettle and professional dishwasher. From both the living room and the dining room there is access to the south-facing balcony, with an amazing view on the surrounding mountains and the lake. Separate toilet on this floor.
On the lowest floor there is a small extra living room with a kitchenette. In this living room there is a bunk bed. This extra living room gives access to a bedroom with two single beds. Bathroom with shower. Separate toilet.
On the second floor, four bedrooms with two single beds each can be found. One family bedroom with two single beds and one bunk bed. One four person bedroom with two bunk beds. Two bathrooms, of which one with a shower and one with two shower. Two separate toilets on this floor.
On the fourth (=highest) floor, there is one family bedroom with two single beds and a bunk bed. Bathroom with shower, toilet, washing machine and dryer.
There is a free Wi-Fi internet connection in the chalet.
quietly situated, cozy chalet-large spacious kitchen and spacious living room and living bedrooms = ok it would be more pleasant if the timetable of the buses is also adjusted to hikers (another bus in the morning around 9.30-10.00 towards Vaujany and in the afternoon one back between 4 and 4.30 pm

We were very happy with our stay at Chalet Lac Douce. Very large and practically furnished, it was perfect for 18 people. The bus right next to the chalet was very handy to take us to ski slopes. So we really experienced a dream week at Chalet Lac Douce!

If you are looking for a carefree ski holiday, then catering service is an absolute must. The chalet staff takes care of the meals, does the dishes and cleans the common areas of the chalet. The chalet staff usually works in the ski resort during the whole winter season.
The day starts with an extensive breakfast. After the skiing something yummy will be prepared for you, like a homemade cake or a cheese board. In the evening you can enjoy a freshly cooked three course dinner, accompanied by a glass of wine.
The service is provided by the chalet staff, who makes sure that the living room is clean and cosy during your stay. The staff doesn´t live in the chalet and has one day per week off. On this day, they will provide fresh bread and make sure all breakfast supplies are available in the chalet. Because of the planning, it is possible that the day off is scheduled for the last evening and the last morning. The day off will be communicated during your stay.
What's included?
7 x Extensive breakfast (of which once self-service); fresh bread from the local bakery, croissants, chocolate rolls, eggs, yoghurt, various cereals, various sweet and savoury sandwich fillings, fruit, juices, milk, coffee and tea.
5 x Afternoon snack; enjoy both savoury and sweet snacks, freshly prepared by the staff each day.
6 x Dinner; 3-course meal consisting of a starter, a main course and a dessert. The dishes are internationally oriented, whilst using local products and specialities. Both white and red wine is offered with the meal (ca. half a bottle per person) and there’s tea or coffee after the meal.
Wine is the only alcoholic beverage that is served. If you don’t like to drink wine, the staff can provide an alternative to your preference to accompany the meals, when noted in good time. The wine (or alternative) will only be served during dinner, any other drinks you are allowed to bring yourself. Or you can choose to book our Drinks included upgrade.
Packed lunches can also be added to your booking for an additional fee. The staff will provide extra bread and sandwich filling so sandwiches can be made to enjoy on the slopes later that day.
Upon arrival our chalet staff will welcome you in the chalet and it will be possible to discuss the desired serving times of the meals and the day that the chalet staff is off. To ensure breakfast can be served on time and they can arrange any other preparations for the meals, they receive their own key of the chalet.
Vegetarian and special diet meals are also available but must be requested when booking the catering service. Additional preferences can also be specified, and will be carried out if possible.
Please note: due to the limited availability of catering staff, catering service is always upon request.
It may happen that the price of catering service changes during the season, or that providing catering service is no longer possible in a specific week. The moment the catering service is confirmed to you, the price is fixed and there is staff appointed to you. Therefore, it is not possible to cancel catering service.
So if you want to enjoy catering service, we recommend you to arrange this immediately when you book your holiday.
Catering is always booked for the whole chalet. For children up until 2 years old no costs will be charged, as there will be provided no meals for them. For children from 3 up to 9 years old are reduced rate will be charged.
