Grand opening at Absolute Alpine
Absolute Alpine new season 2010.
- (1888PressRelease) July 30, 2010 - The 09/10 ski season saw the first winter bookings for Absolute Alpine. Absolute Alpine, run by Sam and Steve White provide catered chalet accommodation in Samoens, France and can sleep up to 21 guests.
Samoens is located in the heart of France's Haute Savoie and is part of the extensive Grand Massif ski area and is possibly one of France's most picturesque mountain villages. As opposed to purpose-built ski stations, Samoens is a beautiful old farming village steeped in history and rustic buildings. It retains an authentic Savoyard charm and a family-friendly, intimate feel.
Recently awarded the title of Best Small Resort (Europe) by the prestigious Hardy's Skiing and Snowboarding Guide 2009, Samoens has long been a favourite with the French. A small, but growing number of discerning British skiers, walkers, mountaineers and outdoor types are just beginning to discover its many charms.
The chalets were open over all of the usual holidays such as Christmas, New Year and Easter and the guests enjoyed some of the best snow in the Alps, beautifully pisted slopes and some awesome off-piste. The plentiful, traditional restaurants on the mountain provided ample sustenance for the skiers although many of them opted for the Absolute Alpine packed lunch as a cost effective alternative.
It wasn't just skiing that the guests enjoyed as there is a whole host of other activities available such as snow shoeing, igloo building and husky dog sledding. In the village itself there are plenty of bars and patisseries and a market which takes place every Wednesday where visitors can stock up on lots of French goodies.
When back in the chalets, Absolute Alpine provided the guests with plenty of creature comforts such hot tubs, heated boot racks, under floor heating, real log fires, a bar area, Wii, wifi, satellite TV along with a delicious afternoon cake and tea. The en suite bathrooms are all fully-equipped with L'Occitane en Provence products and for the 10/11 winter season, Absolute Alpine will also be providing luxury bathrobes and slippers. Additionally, we also brought in a trained therapist who provided massages to soothe any aching muscles in the comfort of the chalet.
All of the guests throughout the season loved their holiday experiences and some of the comments written in the guest book can be found below:
"Steve and Sam, first week of the season and our honeymoon. What a wonder week we had. The chalet is amazing, the food is to die for and the welcome and hospitality from yourselves was excellent. Thank you for making this a special week and look forward to returning hopefully for an anniversary."
Love from Jason & Tracey xx
"Massively 'High End' chalet which is better than any 5* ski accommodation that we have stayed in over 25 years of ski holidays. Everybody has enjoyed the stay and facilities are excellent. Standards of food and wine are "cordon bleu". Service was discreet and efficient and most cheerfully delivered. Lovely to come back to a roaring fire as opposed to a roaring wife - a stress free week with 10 happy guests of mixed ages done... Calrsberg do not do chalets but if they did..."

"As this was our first ever skiing holiday, we didn't know what to compare it against, but after being here for a week, we now know that it doesn't get much better than this! The food was amazing and plentiful, the broccoli was to die for. And if that wasn't enough, the hot tub at the end of the day made us all feel refreshed and ready to start again. You both made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. We will be back! Thanks for our best ever holiday!"
