About this property
Le Grand Galbert, 9 bedrm chalet sleeps 18 people, perfect for multiple families
Le Grand Galbert is an ideal space for a big family or friends holiday with 9 bedrooms sleeping 18 people (plus 2 infants). By linking 3 properties via internal doors, Le Grand Galbert combines all the benefits of being together, in versatile accommodation, and having your own space too!
With stunning south-facing views of the mountains and valley, and situated only three minutes walk from the lift station, you could not get a better location for winter skiing or a summer holiday.
The chalet comprises:
- 3 living areas with south-facing balconies/terrace
- 8 double bedrooms (2 super king, 1 twin and 5 which can be made up as super king or twins) and 1 bunk bedroom
- 5 bathrooms, all with baths and showers, plus one separate loo
The main living space (sitting room/dining area and kitchen) is exclusively devoted to maximising the viewsand light. Open plan, and stretching over half the building, this stunning room has four south-facing French doors leading onto its own private, south-facing balcony. Two other smaller living spaces have the same aspect with either balconies or terrace. All three have wood-burners.
Bedrooms are spread throughout which gives everyone lots of individual or family space. 5 of the double bedrooms can be made up either as super kingsize beds or twins and we have 2 travel cots of babies.
Immediately outside the chalets there are a couple of parking spaces as well as a drop off area. Vaujany has plenty of free parking close by for extra cars (much of it underground) and we can direct you it on arrival.
- Luxury, hotel quality Super King double beds
- Supersoft 100% cotton percale bed linen with beds made up prior to arrival
- Wood-burners with logs provided
- WiFi
- Bluetooth music system
- 2 areas with flat screen and DVD (not TV)
- South-facing private balconies and a terrace with amazing views
- Washing machines x 2 and tumble dryer
- Private ski locker with boot-warmers
- 3 minutes walk from the lift station
- Beds made up before arrival
- Cleaning on departure included

About the host
Hosted by Kristell Thornton
Seven tumbling cousins and their parents love Vaujany year round, so decided to invest in a property of their own to share with friends, family and like-minded Alpine lovers. 12 years on we are enjoying introducing Chalet des Cousins, and Vaujany, to our guests. Because we love the area so much, we are always on hand to answer questions and share our experiences and recommendations in both winter and summer.
In January 2010, half our team scoured the French Alps for a base to fulfil their long-held dream of living in the mountains. It took only three hours to realise that Vaujany was the place to be. Four years and a couple of ski holidays later, when the nippers were of a suitable age, the children found themselves enrolled in school in Allemont at the foot of the mountain, and they said goodbye to Cornwall for 18 months of fresh Alpine living.
The second family were soon Vaujany converts, keen to improve their off-piste skills and try new terrain whilst introducing their children to skiing, many other resorts paled in comparison, Vaujany is unique, it simply meets all our needs.
What none of us expected was to relish the summer, spring and autumn just as much as the winter. Breath-taking scenery, good food and all the uncomplicated happiness that comes with being in an Alpine village - a year-round idyll. Come as often as you can!

What makes this property unique
Our versatile accommodation means we can cater for smaller groups from 6 to large parties of families or groups of friends. Taking our properties either separately, or by combining them via the internal doors, means we can sleep 6, 8, 10, 12 or up to 18 people.
Vaujany is a rather secret and unique alpine village with state of the art facilities - fantastic for children. Located at the centre of the Oisans, Vaujany has its own beautifully-maintained pistes and is linked to the huge ski area of Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine. The village retains its charming authentic roots with chickens roaming safely in quiet corners while boasting an Olympic pool and ice rink.
A fast 160 person cable car, only a few minutes walk from our chalets, whisks you into the heart of a ski area with more than 250kms of prepared pistes, including the fantastic Sarenne - the longest black run in Europe. Vaujany is rare in that it is ideal for mixed abilities with advanced and varied off piste skiing easily accessible. The award winning ski club/nursery and a very attentive caring ski school mean our children, and their parents, get the most out of their holidays.
Many enjoy summer in Vaujany as much as winter with fantastic access to mountain biking, climbing, treetop surfing, kayaking and other outdoor activities in the fresh, alpine air with meadow flowers at your feet.
