Welcome to the best of the Alps
Let’s create your dream Alpine experience
Wild beauty, adventure at altitude, 300 days of sunshine a year, and heartwarming food and wine are the wonders of French Alpine life. A life so good, we moved here.
We create bespoke retreats for travellers to this unique corner of the world—crafted itineraries based on individual needs and wishes. And our traditional house in the charming mountain village of Hautecour in the Savoy region is your homely base while you live your best Alpine life.

Live the real Alpine life
Come and live like a local in the pretty rural village of Hautecour and know the real Alpine way of life. Feel completely at home and relax after your days full of experiences in our cosy Savoyard mountain house. Built in the traditional style from local stone and timber, it blends gorgeous rustic charm with modern comforts and a backdrop of incredible views. We just love it.
Our chefs serves you delicious dishes each day
Every evening, as you rest and reflect on the activities of the day, our private chef will cook a wonderful meal made with locally sourced ingredients. From farm-fresh produce and artisanal cheeses to seasonal specialities and regional wine pairings, each meal celebrates the flavours of the French Alps. And the great thing is, you don’t lift a finger.
Whether you prefer a traditional Savoyard feast or a lighter, wellness-inspired menu, we’ll be delighted to match every meal to your tastes. Accommodating personal preferences is what we do.
An activity programme created just for you
With Into The Alps, each day brings a new adventure, and everything is chosen by you. We offer a collection of the best local experiences, and all you have to do is tell us what excites you. We’ll design a personal daily itinerary that perfectly matches your passions, preferences, and abilities.
Walking, wellness and cookery experiences
If walking is your thing, we offer guided hikes – from gentle to more challenging – exploring the highlights of our stunning local countryside. Health and wellbeing are intrinsic to the Alpine way of life, and our expert-led yoga and meditation sessions are a restorative pleasure. If you prefer your wellness with a slice of indulgence, a visit to a thermal spa will tick both boxes. Keen cooks will relish mastering the art of Alpine specialities, mentored by our private chef and using fresh ingredients from a trip to our popular local market.
Bucket-list adventures
For anyone who sees the Alps as an adventure park, we can easily up the adrenaline level activity-wise. How about soaring over snow-capped peaks in a small aircraft, helicopter or hot air balloon? If you want an even more breathtaking view of the majestic Alps, try a tandem paraglider flight. Budding mountaineers will love the via ferrata, offering the thrill of climbing on a risk-free route. Water lovers will jump at the chance to navigate local rapids on our whitewater rafting challenge. Cyclists can conquer a legendary Tour de France climb (on an e-bike, of course – because enjoying the ride is what matters most).
Get closer to French Alpine life
We adore living here, and we’re excited to help you really get under the skin of local culture while you’re with us. We’ll take you to explore centuries-old villages, traditional produce markets, and family farms. When you sample a vin de Savoie, meet a passionate cheesemaker and taste their Reblochon, spot a wild ibex on the mountainside, or dine on tartiflette in a hilltop refuge, you’ll feel closer to being at one with the Alpine spirit.
