Back to Superdevoluy
We visited in January 2009 and there was only a limited number of companies, at that time that provided accommodation in the area (and only one English website that we could find). Times have changed and you now have quite a choice. The company we used then was Wasteland Ski and the accommodation was Les Chalets du Superdevoluy. 

Les Chalets du Superdevoluy

Les Chalets du Superdevoluy
This group of eight buildings, built about 2004/2005, is about 200m from the lifts, with most of the shops and facilities about 100-200m away. 


Faclities available include a covered, heated outdoor pool, a fitness room and Wi-Fi at the reception, along with ski lockers in the base of the chalet and parking spaces.  
There are different sized apartments available, depending on which company you book with, ranging from a 2  bed studio to 10 bed apartments.

There were four in our party and we booked a 6 bed apartment. This consisted of a lounge with a double sofa bed, a kitchen area with dining room table, a separate bedroom with twin beds (pushed together made ​​a double) and an alcove in the hallway with bunkbeds.  
The kitchenette had a hob, fridge, dishwasher and microwave, but no oven. Neither was there a kettle, just a coffee maker.  When we mentioned this to reception, we were told it was a 'cultural thing.'

Our apartment was on the third floor had a balcony, but those on the ground would have have a terrace. 

There was also a small bathroom, which in our apartment had a bath.  

The apartment was quite small, but was sufficient for our needs.  After all, we had come to ski and so we only used it to eat and sleep in!
The cleanliness of the rooms partly depends on the people that were in the week before you.  To avoid a quite hefty cleaning supplement, you can opt to clean the apartment yourselves.  Still, we found for the most part, that it was reasonably clean and comfortable.  You have to leave a bond and that gets returned once the room has been checked (as of 2009).

If you find that any of these details have changed, then please contact me so that I can update the page.

Most of the tour companies mentioned above cater for ski holidays.  Some, like Wasteland Ski and Snowtrex include a 6 day ski pass.

If you are planning to go in the summer, then the private apartments may offer the best deal.

Please note that some of the companies that offer more budget accommodation, may not include travel as part of their price (only accommodation and ski pass).  It is always best to check what is included in the price quoted.  Some, like the private apartments, will be accommodation only.

Our Tips

If you decide to stay at Les Chalets du Superdevoluy, we have a few tips that might help you (based on our experience in 2009)
  • Take a kettle - there several types of folding camping kettles available on the market now, including a very nice one by Outwell
  • If you like a mug of tea or coffe take your own, as there were only espresso cups in the apartment
  • If you are travelling to Devoluy by car, and are self catering, then plan to stop on the way at one of the large supermarkets, before you get to Devoluy.  There is only one small supermarket in the resort and the prices are very high
  • If you have young children who would struggle to carry their own skis from the apartment to the slop, then maybe you will want to hire a locker in the main building, Bois d'Aurouze
