Behind Your Alp Adventure, you will find the Juul Tietze Bennike Family
We are a small family of four, father, mother Noah aged 5 and little baby Niels. We love adventure and we love the French Alps. We have decided to combine the two things with Your Alp Adventure in Alpe d'Huez.
It all started once in the French Alps, where we met each other. Then followed three winter seasons just in the area and our love for each other and the French Alps grew bigger. Then came Noah. The desire for adventure did not disappear.
We took the consequence of that in the beginning of 2019, when we quit our permanent jobs and decided to live out our dreams of adventure.
The adventure about life in the Alps, got its start when we moved to La Rosiere in November 2019, to be Hotel Managers for DANSKI and Nortlander's two club hotels in the city.
Due to Covid-19, the adventure was put on pause and we had to travel home far too soon. What should have been the first summer season in Tignes, was reversed.
We are now based in Alpe d'huez and have taken over the operation of Hotel Le Refuge, which we have run independently from summer 2021. We hope you will visit us and be part of our adventure. We look forward to sharing our sunny city with you and showing you how many experiences you can have here - both summer and winter.
In the summer of 2022, we expanded once more and are now operating as well Hotel le Chamois.
Thank you for reading our story!

Noah & Niels
Noah is 5 years old, active and loves the mountains. He was on his first skiing holiday inside his mother's belly, the second skiing holiday he was 6 months old and when he was 2 years old, he had his first season in La Rosiere, as a hotel mouse. That will continue to be his role here and he is looking forward to meeting you all - especially the children.
Niels was born in the Alps in November '22, and thus the most local of us all, although it will be a few years before he can get the skis on.
