So you want the whole picture in a nutshell! Well here are the main reasons why we feel you should advance straight to the Reservations Page:

Great Locations:
Have you noticed how unbearably crowded and over built the premier high altitude resorts such as Val D'Isere and Les Trois Vallees are becoming? We did! That's why we're not adding to the crush there.

Chez Jay offers really beautiful catered chalets in two locations;

Montchavin, one of 11 beautiful villages that make up the vast high altitude ski domain of La Plagne in the French Alps, and

Le Pre de Villaroger, one of the unspoilt gems of the huge Les Arcs domain.

But that's not all. Transport between the neighbouring resorts will allow you to ski two domains in one holiday should you wish. That means nearly 200 lifts, more than 400 kms of piste and some 500 square kms of ski-able domain; enough for every type of skiing from total beginners to wild off-piste enthusiasts. These two vast domains will soon be linked into one super domain that will rival any as the greatest ski area in the world. The long planed link is near fruition and will use a double deck cable car system. If you want the best skiing available, our resorts can deliver it.

Great Chalets:
Besides having spectacular views and real log fires, all our chalets are spacious individual buildings: beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and virtually on the piste. Every room has both central and individual heating, there's a proper boot room where all your equipment may be safely left to dry and our lounge and dining facilities are spacious enough to fit everyone in comfort. They are not apartments masquerading as chalets and neither do they overlook ugly car parks or noisy roads. All our chalets are genuine homes where you will feel as much at home as you do in your own.

Great Hospitality:
We don't employ people to look after you; we do it ourselves! And neither are we inexperienced enthusiasts simply there to ski for the season. Everyone caring for you will have been trained at a famous 4 star Country House Hotel to ensure the very best standards of catering and service appropriate to the homely environment of a catered ski chalet. We even provide a team of two or three to look after your needs. A fully skilled host, supported by a qualified chef will guarantee you a very well run chalet indeed.

Professional Catering:
We don't just feed you - we have glowing candlelit dinner parties six evenings a week where guests and hosts make friendships that may be renewed every year. Our 4 star experienced chefs will prepare not only local Savoyarde specialities but a whole range of dishes from many cuisines including Haute French, Classic Italian, Traditional German and even Exotic Asian. Chez Jay is therefore as much a culinary experience as it is a winter sports venue. Needless to say such things as unlimited wine, wholesome breakfasts with meats and cheeses, fresh coffee and after dinner luxuries are all provided as standard.

Ski ability:
Each person caring for you will be a well experienced skier to an advanced recreational level at the very least. Many compete in local events and one is even an Olympic team member. They are as knowledgeable of the local mountains as anyone. When the slopes are busy they know where to avoid the queues. They know where the best snow conditions are each day and where the most suitable runs are for each standard of skiing. And most of all, they know how to get the most out of a day on the mountain. For your hosts, skiing is not simply a thrill to be gained through flying down the pistes at the highest speeds. They love the mountains themselves; the forests and the wildlife, the remote stone lodges and the sheer blissful silence of nature in mid winter. They love the 'art' of skiing and wish to share it with you.

Last year's guests said:

"A great week during which we wined, dined and skied to exceptional levels of satisfaction"

"Chez Jay comes highly recommended as actually providing everything as stated in their brochure, you won't be dissappointed!"

Competition Skiing

Chez Jay also accommodates the British coached Royal Nepal Ski Team at its training base in Villaroger. Guests at our chalet there are welcome to meet members of the team and discuss the techniques they develop to prepare for the Olympic Games. Advanced skiers may find this particularly interesting. Read more about it in the Staff page.

Extra services:
You name it and we can do it. From organising your lift passes and equipment to looking after you on the slopes. If you want a hot water bottle or an extra bite to eat - it's there for the asking. And we offer those little extras that make a chalet holiday really special; tea or fresh fruit juice with your morning call, a welcome tray with fruit and goodies in your room and fluffy bath towels. You're staying in our home and we do everything we can to make you feel at home.

Affordable Prices:
Yep, you can find cheaper holidays with Inghams or Thompsons - but we really don't recommend them if you want that special homely atmosphere that only a privately run chalet can offer. And amongst the specialised companies in our field we feel our prices represent the best value for money around. A week in Chez Jay peak season is up to 30% cheaper than our rivals 'Ski Beat' in the same resort.
