No Going Back...Quite Literally!

Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- No Going Back…quite literally

So smitten with La Chapelle d’Abondance, the people and lifestyle, husband and wife team Matthew and Emma Billings decided to relocate from the UK and set up a new home and business – http://www.skibikeorhike.com offering visitors a home from home, catered chalet with all the mod cons.  

Sounds blissfully simple!  Not that easy when you have two little boys and a new baby to also consider!    Inspired by the Channel 4 series, No going back, Matthew, a former Sales and Marketing Director and Emma, a former teacher in the UK, are both used to juggling a busy family life and the demands of work with endless deadlines, so creating this opportunity to work together in what they envisage as an extended family home for the outdoor enthusiast, is a very exciting and rewarding prospect.

Chalet Le Dragon, is the perfect set up for their new business venture, comprising two chalets – one for separate family accommodation.  Chalet Le Dragon is nestled between two villages at 1020m, La Chatel and La Chapelle d’Abondance, both only minutes away and offering visitors a choice of bars, quality restaurants, cafes and shops. With Geneva airport just over 1.5 hour away, visitors can travel and hit the piste on the same day!

At Chalet Le Dragon, guests can choose catered or self-catered accommodation in winter and B&B in summer, so ideal for groups, couples or families.   The chalet offers traditional yet stylish, cosy and comfortable accommodation and each room is furnished to a high specification.  If you are travelling with children, rooms can be altered to add beds or cots.  Guests can make the most of each day outdoors, enjoying the huge range of activities the area has to offer knowing that an excellent hearty meal with complimentary wines is served each evening. After which the choice is yours, simply relax in the cosy lounge, snug or by the fire to play board games or just enjoy the company of others to share stories from the day’s events.
