General description
(The text below has been automatically translated)
On a beautiful, quiet location, a few kilometers outside Vaujany, is the spacious chalet Lac Douce. This chalet offers a fantastic unobstructed view of the reservoir Lac du Verney and the surrounding mountains that reach to a height of over 3000 meters. The chalet has changed owners at the beginning of 2016 and has been equipped with new furniture and a Wi-Fi internet connection by the new owner. There are plenty of parking spaces at the chalet and the chalet has a space for ski storage.
The ski bus stop is only 10 meters away from the chalet. This ski bus runs in the morning about 2x and at the end of the day also 2x. If you choose to drive, you'll reach the lift and slopes in the centre of Vaujany in about 10 minutes. This cabin lift comes directly into the middle of the large ski area of Alpe d'Huez (250 km of slopes!). There is ample parking at the cabin lift. You will also find all facilities such as ski school, supermarket, restaurant and ski rental in Vaujany. Vaujany also has an indoor ice rink and a large swimming pool with slide, children's pool, sauna and hammam. With a valid ski pass (minimum six days), you have one free entry to the swimming pool and the ice rink.
Chalet Lac Douce is a comfortable chalet where you can have a great stay with a large group. The separate living and dining room ensure that the group easily splits in the evening, where the TV viewers and the game players both have plenty of space.
In December 2020 a new gondola lift opened in the nearby village of Allemond. The valley station of this "Eau d'Olle Express" can be found at 4500 meters (about 7 minutes by car) from Chalet Lac Douce. This cabin lift takes you in just 8 minutes to the slopes of the family friendly Oz-en-Oisans, which is located at 1350 meters altitude. At the cabin lift there are ski lockers for rent and there is ample parking space.

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.
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. You can be asked to bring some products yourself in this case, bcause not all products are available in the Alps.
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 and including 10 years old are reduced rate will be charged.
When booking our catering service, it is possible to add an upgrade to your booking. This upgrade can only be added for the whole group.
