The Snow Inn

Situated on the edge of Landry, the Snow Inn is a beautiful two hundred and fifty year old farmhouse with grounds extending to the forests of La Plagne - perfect for a bit of night sledging, whether your youthfulness is genuine or vin-chaud induced. The floorboards creek, the kettle still whistles and we love it!

There are four guest rooms with a mixture of doubles, singles and bunks enabling us to welcome up to 12 guests of most demographic compositions. All the bedrooms are warm and comfy, offering wonderful views down the Tarentaise valley and up to the peaks of Les Arcs and La Plagne. With three bathrooms there will always be a hot shower waiting when you get back from the slopes.  

Spend the evenings unwinding in the huge open plan sitting room, warming your toes by the fire while you recount tales of the day's exploits over a drink or two and wait for dinner to arrive. We've got an ever growing collection of board games so if you fancy getting hustled at Pictionary by Lyndsey then step up! If not, we've got loads of DVDs and videos for a less competitive evening. Should you feel a touch more hardy, the garden terrace is also a great place to relax and watch the moon rise over the mountains.  

Skis and boards live downstairs along with the drying rack for your boots. More of a wooden rack next to the boiler than an electrically heated model of precision engineering, it seems to do the job all the same. Just watch where you leave them as they share the basement with Sam's ski teching/carpentry/mountainbike workshop so errant skis could find themselves waxed, turned into chairs or used to patch up broken bikes, or even a strange combination of the three...

Now onto the important bit - food! We have been teased quite a lot over the last few years over apparent similarities between us and Tom & Barbera Goode of The Good Life. It's not really justified as we dont yet keep any animals (unless you count 3 cats) and lyndsey doesn't own a single pair of dungarees! However, if you find yourself spreading damson jam in the morning, it'll be home made from our owm damsons. Cherries on the tart? likewise. Pumpkin soup? You get the picture I'm sure. We cook simple, tasty meals using the best fresh ingredients we can find. All our fruit and veg comes from the local Saturday market and all our meat comes from the excellent village butchers, who supply their produce from their own farm, less than a kilometre away. It's not really done through benevolence - we like to eat well too. The wine is similarly good - Sam used to work in a local wine shop and so is the man to ask about such things.  

Breakfast is included in the basic price and is either served up by Sam before 9am or left out for you to chomp on at your leisure. It's a fairly simple affair with fresh fruit, cereal, porridge (yum!) hot croissants and our own fresh baked bread served up with a few home made jams and much caffeine.

Evening meals are 15 euros a pop and can be arranged on a very flexible basis - feel free to mix evenings in with us with nights out at restaurants and bars in town.
