Get 50% off at the “Best Eco Lodge in the Alps 2009” With One Off Places

Have you ever dreamed of having your own place in the Alps – like a home from home where you can just show up after a big dump of snow? Well La Source, in Samoen is the next best thing. A little hidden gem of a place over the valley from Chamonix with off piste runs as long as the Grand Montet, La Source is a retreat in a ski paradise. Under an hour’s drive of Geneva airport, and you can be skiing in the Grand Massif - a wonderful ski area with as much for the extreme powder seeker as the intermediate and beginner. The Grand Massif, in general, gets a lot of sun and as much snow as many of the highest Alpine resorts. La Source is 5 minutes from the Grand Massif and 25 minutes from the Portes du Soleil. And once you have skied yourself to a standstill come back to the hot tub to restore your aching bones, a drink in front of the fire and then a wonderful evening meal.

The owners are offering a superb fully catered rate of only £420 per person per week between 7th March and the 4th April 2009. Available from 2 to 8 guests, this represents a full 50% off their usual rate – and includes breakfast and a 2 course dinner with wine – guests also have full access to the kitchen for lunch if required. All food is prepared onsite by a live-in chef and is organic wherever possible.
The architect-designed barn is a wonderful place to stay. As well as bedrooms and some stunning bathrooms (the penthouse features a walk-in shower with a wall of glass facing the ski slopes!) there is a mezzanine/playroom, Indian music den, a laundry room and separate sports storage and drying room.

At less than an hour’s drive from Geneva airport transport links are superb as well. Use either Easyjet, BA or Air France or fly there, and the owners will be delighted to help arrange transfers upon arrival.
