What we do……
We want you to experience the breathtaking scenery, local cuisine, the active lifestyle and the healthy and clean environment of the French Alps. There is so much to feel, see and especially do, all year round. From skiing, hiking, biking, building fires, chopping wood and more….
For us it is the most beautiful place in the world and we’d love to make you truly part of it for the period of your stay here. A stay that we hope you will remember as your mountain life.
In winter we manage catered and self-catered chalets. During the summer months our chalets are available on a self catered basis with numerous outdoor activities at your doorstop. In the months of May, June, September and October our accommodation is available for yoga/meditation/hiking or writer retreats and we offer catered road cycling & MTB packages and more.
For businesses we are the perfect business event venue with organised outdoor activities in combination with team building and workshop activities.
We are happiest when you are happy and we want you to have a relaxed and in a typical chalet in the Les Arcs * Paradiski ski resort in the heart of the French Alps.
What they said…..
Je remercie les propriétaires pour leur accueil EXCEPTIONNEL !!! De tous mes séjours, je n’ai jamais vu des hôtes comme eux !!!
Thoroughly enjoyable stay (La Petite Grive). Service provided was excellent and often above what would be perceived as a standard service.
Maartje and her husband were fantastic hosts!
The apartment (La Petite Grive) was beautiful and very cosy!
Much nicer than some of the other options in town!
Chalet Le Chazalet is the perfect location for a large group holiday. The kitchen is run by a very capable and enthusiastic staff, making sure we had a 4 course diner every evening and a breakfast every morning. It is clean, tidy and run to a T. The location is just stunning with hiking options in the summer and an almost ski-in in the winter. Because we went in April, we had the luck to enjoy both. Can’t say that I have ever been hosted better during a holiday.
Nous rejoignons les commentaires précédents : accueil, propreté, localisation, petites attentions,… rien à redire nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Maartje ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et nous tenons à la remercier tout particulièrement une hôte très réactive, de très bons conseils et de bienveillance.
It was a great stay in les Mélèzes Sud. Everything well organised, very good dinner and breakfast, quite relaxing in the jacuzzi. No hurry and thinking about shoppings and meals, thanks for cooking and everything Chantal and Lucas, and Chris and Belinda for driving and being there.
Staff très agréable, à l’écoute, disponible et soucieux de nous faire passer un excellent séjour. A qualité du staff fait la différence! Petits plats mitonnés avec amour et délicieux! Merci! (Le Petit Chazalet)
We rented the chalet (La Grange d’Alice) for two days to celebrate New Year’s.
Everything was perfect: the communication, the chalet is incredible, the kindness of the hosts. When we arrived, all the beds were made.
Thank you very much and maybe see you next year!
Maartje and Martijn are excellent hosts!
Great space (L’Aguille Grive) with mountain view in a very quiet and peaceful environment.
I had a magical week, where yoga, the mountains and Martijn’s excellent cooking were our main ingredients. Maartje and Martijn are lovely people who make sure you feel welcome and appreciated. I highly recommend their chalet La Grange d’Alice.
Merveilleux séjour dans un logement (Le Grand Saint Bernard) magnifique de grande classe. On se sent rapidement comme chez soi avec un confort haut de gamme. Martin vous accueille avec un large sourire et se met à votre disposition pour un séjour tout en douceur au cœur des montagnes. Merci.
Martijn is great host with a positive mindset and a can-do mentality! He is flexible and helped our group solve some logistics issues getting people to and from the slopes. The catering was perfect thanks to Jack and Tayla: nice variation of meals inspired on local dishes. (l’Aiguille Grive)
We had a wonderful experience at Maartje and Martijn place (l’Aguille Grive).
Here is a small list of all the nice elements we appreciated :
– The place is super cosy.
– The view on the mountains is amazing.
– The beds are really comfortable.
– The kitchen is well equipped and it’s a pleasure to cook here.
– The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful but you’re just a few minutes away from the ski resort.
This is everything you expect from a 5 star catered chalet (La Grange d’Alice) and more. The hosts Lillian and Stephen were amazing making the chalet feel like a home and looked after us so well. Thank you
Super séjour dans ce lieu chaleureux et parfaitement situé (La Grange d’Alice). L’acceuil de Maartje est top, attentionné, arrangeante et réactive 😉
12 of us stayed at La Grange d’Alice and we had a fantastic week thanks to our lovely hosts, Lillian and Stephen. Our holiday was truly made by them and we can’t thank them enough!
Magnifico appartamento (l’Aiguille Grive), tutto perfetto, torneremo prima possibile.
Martijn et son équipe nous ont accueillis très chaleureusement et ont été toujours très disponibles et réactifs à nos différentes demandes pendant notre séjour. Le chalet le Petit Saint Bernard est idéalement placé, au calme mais assez proche de la station d’Arc1600 avec la navette proposée le matin par yourmountain.life (et accessible à ski en fin de journée): spacieux, cosy, confortable, lumineux, bien équipé et une vue magnifique sur les montagnes ! Les prestations sont de très bonne qualité et l’organisation impeccable ! Pas besoin de faire la queue pour acheter son forfait, il nous est livré à notre arrivée, bonne table d’hôtes avec un couple de cuisiniers très sympathique ! Nous avons passé un séjour entre amis exceptionnel et je recommande vivement cette location qui permet de profiter sereinement de ses vacances !
Fantastic hosts! So much fun and so much kindness. They all had such a strong dedication to their work and incredible efficiency. They were lovely to be around and so welcoming. It was sad to say goodbye and i can recommend them wholeheartedly. (Le Chazaelet)
We’ve had a wonderful ski-stay at l’Aiguille Grive with our team of colleagues. Staff was great, food was great. Shuttle service is a perfect add-on! The small village of Courbaton is really a hitten gem, and with such a large ski area as Paradiski just around the corner this is the perfect stay for a perfect holiday.
Everything from the hosts to the apartment (La Petite Grive), to the amazing landscape was fabulous. Maartje and Martijn are fantastic hosts and they have a great sense of service as it comes naturally to them.
Chalet La Grange d’Alice is the real deal. The building itself is full of character and is excellently located; 2 mins from the funicular up to 1600, and ski-to-door on the way home. The property itself is afforded a high level of privacy and is not overlooked by any other chalets. The catering was excellently done, and the portions were substantial. Interesting menus and the hosts provided commentary on each course. Overall 10/10 would recommend highly.
The chalet (l’Aiguille Grive) was even better than expected and the hosts were superb and very responsive. Perfect for big groups looking for an easy, breezy holiday!
Nous avons énormément apprécié le charme authentique et le confort de ce chalet où l’on se sent comme chez soi.
Wow. Simply wow. A stunning chalet in the most beautiful location. The interior is everything you could wish for and whenever I pictured a ski lodge, it looked like this. The food was spectacular, the fire was always roaring and the beers always cold.
Catered chalets are absolutely the future for us and this one in particular is head and shoulders above the rest. (La Grange d’Alice)
We loved our stay in this chalet. It has a nice style, the place is very calm in the mountain
and close to walks and nice little stations with plenty of activities for kids and grownups (Arc1600).
We had an amazing time. Beautiful chalet (La Grange d’Alice), great hosts and first class food.
Very nice and cozy apartment (l’Aguille Grive).
Beautifully situated with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.
The owners are very nice and helpful.
Nice area for cycling in the summer.
Very very friendly staff and excellent food and drinks! The chalet apartment l’Aiguille Grive was one of the best we’ve ever been. We will return for sure!
Un séjour dans une demeure charmante!
Our stay in Le Chazalet 15 was brilliant! I can’t praise our hosts Daan, Merel & Jan-Willem enough, they were amazing! The food was top notch and they worked very hard to cater for such a large group but were always really helpful and friendly! The service really was great, so it really made our stay even better that I had hoped. The chalet was also great for our group size and the sauna, hot tub and large open fire meant it was a nice place to come back to at the end of the day. All in all 10/10 and I’d definitely recommend staying here.
I really enjoy my stay in chalet l’Aiguille Grive, great staff, cosy comfortable chalet, great food, great skiing ..had a fantastic holiday and will 100% recommend yourmountain.life, oh and seeing Dog Bob every morning was a massive bonus
Of all my winter ski holidays this was the best stay ever. The chalet l’Aiguille Grive, the catering, the transfer, everything was optimised for a complete and unforgettable stay. So i strongly recommend all the services of yourmountain.life.
Fantastic holiday with our friends staying at La Grange d’Alice! Really comfortable and cosy chalet, great amenities , we had fabulous hosts who catered for us with really delicious food, even the fussy kids loved it! Can’t recommend highly enough!
Perfect chalet (La Grange d’Alice) with character and good access to slopes via funicular. Stephen and Lillian were excellent and enthusiastic hosts. had a great holiday and conditions for skiing. family friendly as well.
Excellent séjour à Courbaton (Les Deux Têtes). Un endroit calme et une vue magnifique à 5min des arcs 1600. Martijn et Georgia vous y emmènent le matin à l’heure demandée avec tout votre matériel, une facilité incroyable avec les enfants. Merci pour tout.
Fantastisch appartement (l’Aguille Grive). Alles aanwezig. Schitterende plek.
Goede en hartelijke gastvrouw en -heer.
We celebratied our 50th wedding day with children and grandchildren in l’Aiguille Grive 12. A perfect place for a winter holiday, a very well equipped house and lovely helpful staff. Thanks!
Maartje and her husband were there to help any time we needed. The place is amazing (le Petit Saint Bernard). We spent the perfect week-end there.
Thank you for a really amazing holiday. All the staff were so warm, friendly and welcoming, and really made our holiday.
l’Aiguille Grive in Courbaton is perfect for families,safe and well presented with a glowing fire always burning… just what you need after a fun day on the slopes.
The staff was more than excellent, and so was Martijn! It has been the best winter holiday for a longtime!! (Le Petit Saint Bernard)
