**please note this is a family specialist chalets, each booking must include at least one child.**
The Mariandre is positioned in a wonderful location in the old village area of Alpe d’Huez, from here guests are able to ski back to the front door in normal snow conditions. In the morning skiers can start their day from the Telecabine ski lift just 50m away. To access additional areas of the resort there is a free ski bus service which stops outside the hotel. Each family set-up will be catered for with a good mix of family rooms and suites, all of which have their own en suite facilities.
Everything that guests could need is within easy reach, with the ‘Yoghurt Pot’ lift which links to the centre of resort up to the Rond Point des Pistes. There are 5 different lifts which can whisk you up to your choice of mountain. The pistes start just 50m away which will take you down to the Eclose ski lift which will then take you up to the main ski area.
The chalet’s interior has a cosy rustic alpine feel with pretty wooden carvings along the bar to make a warm and welcoming feel. This area has stunning views through huge picture windows which can be enjoyed from the comfort of a comfy sofa whilst enjoying a well earned drink. This makes the focal point of the chalet hotel.
The reception desk is there to help you with any questions or bookings you might want to make within resort. Downstairs guests will find the dining room which is separated into 2 parts styled in a French bistro design. If everyone arrives at breakfast at once this is a little on the snug side, but also rare that this should happen.
Childcare is located in a separate area with sleep-room which are both off the main sitting room. The children’s Snow Club can also be found within the hotel building, to makes this an ideal and extremely popular option for families.

PLEASE NOTE: Any bookings for season 2018/19 catering will be provided 5 days.
For six days of the week our Chalet Hotel catering staff prepare all your meals for you as described below. On their day off, breakfast will still be served to you as normal without however the hot option, and that evening you and your family have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants.
Our younger guests are served high tea at about 5.30pm. We do not then allow anyone under 13 at the adult evening meals in our Chalet Hotels.
Breakfast A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea and coffee, local bread (and croissants or ‘pains au chocolat’ in France), cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. Additionally we offer a daily hot dish, such as scrambled eggs with mushrooms or home-made pancakes.
Afternoon Tea The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you by your chalet host, ready for your return. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake.
Children’s High Tea Served at around 5.30pm and supervised by our staff, high tea provides children under 13 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children’s tastes than our main adult dinner. Puréed food is available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany children under 36 months, whilst children 3-12 years will be supervised by Esprit staff. Children under 13 are not allowed to join the adult-only dinner.
Culinary Choice Dinner Our ‘Culinary Choice’ adult dinners comprise five courses, with a choice of menu for your enjoyment. Adults will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a choice of varied dishes selected for each course, accompanied of course by our complimentary wines.
Special Diets and Family Dining Special Diets: Vegetarian options are always available if you advise us in advance, and other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. and please advise us at the time of booking. Family Dining Chalets: For those who want to eat with their younger children, we offer two chalets with our Family Dining concept - the Valentine in La Rosière and the Lucas in Les Arcs. Everyone in these chalets eats together in the evening, starting at 6.30-7.00pm. The meals are based on our adult menus with some flexibility for younger taste buds, although not a complete ‘à la carte’ choice! You can also choose our Family Dining option if you wish in any chalet of up to 10 beds, if you book the whole chalet for your own party, subject to chalet suitability. The additional charge for changing meals to Family Dining is £39 per child
