On this wonderful, relaxed bridge holiday, our base is the hugely popular and charming Château des Comtes de Challes. Overlooking mountain peaks and valley in Savoy, this original 15th-century château has been lovingly restored to reflect its history by the family Treves, who will proudly welcome you into their home. We play bridge in the delightful Granier Room of the Orangerie and dine with fine wine on the hotel terraces.
Set in two hectares of its own land, you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and ancient trees and be mesmerised by the stunning views from the hotel terraces as you relax by the outdoor pool. An excursion to the historic town of Chambery is included on market day. We also include a full-day visit to Annecy, the Venice of the Alps, where we enjoy a guided tour of this old town, crossed by numerous canals and bridges, and take a cruise on the lake. Not to be missed is our wine tasting in the cellars of the château!
James and Jane Tullett and Ilona Buttinger will lead the 2025 departure.

Your Bridge Programme
Play & Explore holidays are suited to intermediate players who wish to learn new skills, and regular players looking for a relaxed holiday with bridge.
Your duplicate bridge will be available every evening between 7:30pm and 10:30pm. We endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs and playing relaxed and friendly bridge.
Bridge will also be offered some mornings or afternoons. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams. Sessions may take place in the mornings instead of the afternoons, complimenting any included excursion programme.
Masterpoints are awarded on evening sessions, and on day sessions with over 5 tables.
During your bridge holiday, nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many or as few bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our bridge programmes also allow time to relax, giving the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.
With our flight-inclusive package, today you will board your flight to Geneva Airport. From here, you will be transferred to the château.
If you have booked our join direct package, we will meet you at the hotel.
Join us for our evening meal on the château terraces with wine included, followed by evening bridge.

Annecy with Guided Tour and Lake Annecy Cruise (Day 6)
We spend our sixth day surrounded by breathtaking Alpine scenery in Annecy, known as Venice of the Alps. On our morning guided walking tour, you will discover many interesting buildings including the imposing 12th-century Palais de L’Isle, situated in the middle of the River Thiou, as we wander through the old town crossed by numerous canals. During the afternoon, enjoy a boat cruise on the lake before returning to port for free time in Annecy centre.

Ideally located for touring the French Alps, the hotel is only five miles from the town of Chambery and a short walk takes you to the small resort of Challes-les-Eaux, with spa, cafés and shops. The hotel is comprised of three buildings, built around a courtyard which retains much of its original character; with antique artefacts and beautifully furnished public rooms. The hotel has been lovingly restored with the period fireplace and exposed beams in the dining room. Enjoy fine traditional cuisine, where the emphasis is on local produce, or relax by the outdoor pool and on the terrace, which affords magnificent views over the valley and surrounding countryside. The hotel also has its own private chapel and boasts well-appointed rooms which, in keeping with the château, all vary in size and style. The château also has its own historic wine cellar.
