About the host

Hosted by Duncan Burns

I am married and live in rural Kent with my Japanese husband and two small children.

I studied French and Japanese at Leeds University and have a love of all things French.

My family and I travel to France regularly and love to spend time in the mountains. I used to have a town-house in rural Basse Normandy and my sister is renovating a village house in the Loire.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the chalet over 30 years ago for the stunning views and convenient edge-of-village location. It has access to some fantastic on and off piste skiing and is also a great summer resort. The friendliness of the locals and the modest prices in the resort were other key factors. The people we met there on our first holiday are still friends now.

It is a superb family-friendly resort with fantastic skiing and a great snow record. It is also a great summer resort and just a two hour drive (or train ride) from the beaches at Nice and Cannes on the Cote d'Azur.

What makes this property unique

Detached Norwegian-style wooden chalet with open log fire. Set in a quiet and peaceful location on the edge of La Foux d'Allos village with access to 230 kms of piste and the best off-piste skiing in the southern Alps.

The chalet is an ideal family or group rental offering comfortable accommodation for both skiers and non-skiers alike.

Superb walking, mountain biking, fishing, swimming and tennis are among the many activities on offer in the summer months.

The chalet is well equipped and has the extra little touches and attention to detail that make it a real home from home.
