Everything your catered ski chalet in France should be

There's something special about catered ski chalets in France. You've seen them in the travel pages, listened enviously as friends described theirs, or simply dreamed of skiing the Hautes-Pyrénées ... Now it's time to make dreams come true at one of the loveliest, not to mention best placed, French ski chalets. The mountain air is Champagne-clear, the snow's wonderful and there's a warm welcome at 1600m where our catered ski chalet perches high above Saint-Lary Soulan.

Stroll to the lifts from your catered ski chalet

With its exclusive location at Saint-Lary 1900 Espiaube and easy access from Tarbes and the D929, Chalet Lou Rider is a classic French ski chalet just 100m from the lifts that take skiers to one of the French Pyrenees' largest ski domains. While other skiers wait in lift queues at the bottom of the mountain or battle for parking and struggle up the hill with their skis, you'll enjoy a leisurely breakfast and pour yourself another coffee before strolling out of the door and straight onto the lifts - and still be first on the pistes.
