Walnut Retreat Huez, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Holiday Rental Description

Nestled in the heart of Alpe d’Huez, this cosy mountain home is the perfect setting for a winter getaway to central France. Whether you’re here to ski or to simply soak up the gorgeous scenery, you can’t do much better than this tastefully decorated, alpine apartment, which comes equipped with a whole host of communal amenities that will make your stay here one to remember.

Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the terrace, then set off for a day of hiking or skiing on the snowy slopes of the Central French Western Alps. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day out here, breathing in the fresh air or warming up with glass of mulled wine at one of the town’s charming bars, but if you’ve had your fill of being out and about, there’s plenty to keep you occupied back at home. Treat yourself to a soothing session in the on-site sauna, go for a dip in the indoor pool, or sit back and relax in the communal lounge before heading upstairs for a home-cooked meal around the rustic dining table. Raclette, anyone?
