Peak Retreats, the French Alps ski specialist, has had the idea of help its clients make the most of their drive from the UK to the Alps by offering en-route hotels that offer that little bit more than a roadside bed for the night.
“Each accommodation has been selected to offer a true sense of escapism while being located a short drive from the main routes between Calais and the Alps,” a Peak Retreats spokesperson said.
The new options include vineyard hotels in world-famous wine regions such as Burgundy and Champagne adding a bit of ‘vine dining’ for Peak Retreats’ clients to enjoy while journeying to and from the Alps.
Examples include the Loisium Wine & Spa Hotel (below) in the famous Champagne region, located halfway between Reims and Chalons en Champagne. This stylish modern concept hotel creates a fusion of wine, design, spa and gastronomy. The hotel has facilities including a champagne and wine bar, a brasserie with open kitchen and magnificent views of the surrounding vineyards, an on-site spa with year-round heated outdoor pool, sauna and in-spa champagne bar. Prices start from £140pp/night and include champagne tasting, access to the Loisium Wine Spa and breakfast.
Or Les Sept Fontaines (pictured top), a four-star hotel located in the south of Burgundy and ideally located for exploring several famous wine routes, including Route des Vins Mâconnais-Beaujolais and Route des Grand Crus de Bourgogne. The hotel offers 39 comfortable rooms in a 17th-century building, benefitting from a wine tasting cellar, bistronomic restaurant, a spa, as well as an atmospheric lounge wine bar. Prices start from £154pp/night and include dinner, access to the wine cellar with accompanying wine tasting, spa area access and breakfast.
Peak Retreats offer accommodation in more than 70 French mountain resorts, traditional and high altitude, chosen for their charm, easy access to great skiing and superb amenities. All holidays include travel by Eurotunnel, with a free FlexiPlus upgrade, except at some school holiday weeks.
