Le Hameau des Airelles, Montgenevre

A firm favourite in Montgenevre, located in the popular Obelisque area of the village just a few metres from the pistes. It offers families great value, 4 star accommodation with access to pool and spa facilities. There is a ski lesson meeting point just around the corner; and the closest piste takes you down to 2 major chairlifts, giving you the choice of front or back areas of the resort to ski in.

The decor throughout is based on a traditional Alpine style, and the apartments are arranged around the swimming-pool/spa complex. Within the leisure centre you can enjoy the free indoor/outdoor heated swimming-pool (book in advance at reception, amount of free access depends on room size), Jacuzzi and sauna – ideal after a long day on the slopes!

Le Hameau des Airelles has a spacious lounge area with an open fireplace and its own covered parking (€55 per week extra), a laundry room (charged), ski lockers and access to many other facilities including massages, wifi and a morning bakery delivery. It is also possible to organise delivery of evening meals, all freshly prepared and delivered to your apartment. There is a kids club in the school holidays (except Easter) and must be pre-booked through us.

Each apartment is well-equipped and comfortable. Each living area has a sofa plus table and chairs, flat screen TV/CD/DVD as standard, and telephone lines. The kitchens come with a 4-ring ceramic hob, dishwasher, multi-function microwave ovens and fridge. Prices include: fully equipped apartment, bed linen (beds made on arrival except pull-out bed in lounge) and towels, cleaning kit (extra set €7/kit), access to all leisure activities.
