We’re getting a makeover

Bienvenue! Welcome to the brand new Lodge du Village blog, brought to you by me, Al. Every fortnight, I will be updating you on the latest on all things, food, drink and life at altitude, with perhaps a few light-bulb moment posts in between.

This however, is not the only thing that’s new…

It’s safe to say that here, in the heart of the Three Valleys, we have waved goodbye to summer. An autumnal glow bathes the valley, the mountains are giving us a sneak peek of their winter coats, nights are drawing in way too quickly, and you definitely regret leaving the house without a coat.

Inter-season is well and truly upon us; and here in the Alps, inter-season means one thing… build, build, build, and LDV is no exception.

We are getting a makeover, and it’s more than just a lick of paint. Kev and the boys are hard at work and we are very excited to see the end result.

Our aim is to create a stylish yet cosy après ski venue upstairs, one that invites you to sit back and relax. Somewhere to grab a hot choccy with the kids, watch live sports with a jug of beer and your mates, grab a bite to eat or treat yourself to well-deserved cocktail (after all, you did ski that red when you were adamant you wouldn’t). While you’re here, why not take a wonder downstairs where you can enjoy live après music 7 days a week! 

It’s going to be a corker of a winter at LDV. Watch this space.
