A garden in a ski resort is rare yet here so close to the lift and in the centre Chalet Perdu has it all.

Sunset or sunrise is an eruption of colour at either end of the valley and here you will witness the true Portes Du Soleil.

It has been great fun choosing plants for Chalet Perdu. The flower beds are planted with herbaceous alpines and any rocket crevass provides a home for sedum and low gowing alpines. In spring just as the first snow melts the bulbs begin to emerge and quickly the garden is emersed in tiny red multi headed species tulip, next the narcissi and daffodils burst into flower. May sees the whole mountain erupt into a dramatic floral display which continues till the first snow -August brings the blueberry pickers to the mountain side and September is mushroom season. Autumn in Les Gets is eqaul to that of New England. In October the deciduous trees on the mountain develop into a fiery display of lime, orange, crimson and this contunues until the first snow arrives in November Photos to follow - ask if you want to see them now The Mazot is 6m from Chalet Perdu and shares the garden. Sleighs, Tobogans, spades for snowmen and an outdoor playhouse are provided in winter
A mazot is a preserved part of the heritage of Les Gets and unique. It is a small chalet, over 200 years old, opened by an ancient iron key. Originally a mazot was used to store the treasured possessions of the wealthier farming families -clothes, china, preserved meats - as there was such a high risk of fire in the traditional wooden farmhouses of the village. The Mazot lies in the grounds of Chalet Perdu and has been converted to offer two guests luxury, romantic, bed and breakfast accomodation. A breakfast hamper is delivered each morning by the chalet staff and champagne awaits your return each day from skiing.
