Dates: 11th, 12th + 13th July 2008.
With the Gourmet Drive held every summer, golf becomes a fun celebration. The event attracts gastronomes who worship the virtues of fine food, sportsmen and women indulging their passion and close and far-away friends who get together on the green baize of the course high above Méribel.
Rising to the challenge of constantly delighting golfers, the chefs vie with each other for inventiveness and know-how. And in a region with a reputation for gastronomy they elaborate mouthwatering treasures that raise the local produce to new heights.
This is a preview of

We’ve had a busy year at Independent Mountain, and it’s thanks to all of you visiting the website and coming on holiday with us that we can continue to keep growing and providing the high level of service that we pride ourselves on!! We aim to continue our growth of all of our current resorts, and over the course of the year bring even more resorts for you to choose from!!
After a great couple of years building up a detailed list of properties and information on our mountain resorts, we are about to launch our summer operation - Independent Summer. We will be starting by offering beach properties on the east coast of Australia, and will then be looking at covering the south coast of France so that we will have a year round summer industry for you to choose from.
We’ll keep you posted with everything that goes on, and if you have any particular areas of the world that you would like us to start looking into, then just email me directly on james@independentmountain.com and i’ll be happy to look into what we can add onto the website.

The next addition to the Independent Mountain website pretty much completes our coverage of the Chamonix valley, and we will be developing our directory of properties and services available in Argentiere over the next few months!! Here is some information for you to see on Argentiere:
Argentière is located near the head of the valley of Chamonix. It is connected with Switzerland by the pass over the Col des Montets, and the Col de la Forclaz to Martigny in the Rhône valley. Argentière is the starting point for the cable car up to Les Grands Montets (3,295m), a skiing area famous for its steep and demanding slopes, both on-piste as well as off-piste.
We have just added Val d’Isere onto the Independent Mountain website, and already have a few beautiful properties for you to choose from!!
Val-d’Isère is most recognisable by its charming “chalet” architecture. Along with nearby Tignes the area forms part of the “l’Espace Killy”, the self-titled “Most Beautiful Ski Area in the World.” Beauty aside, the combined space is one of the largest ski areas in the world. The resort has a taste for fundamentals, and knows the secrets of how to make people feel welcome and at ease. Intimate tea rooms, cosy wine bars, trendy pubs or elegant hotel bars. Luxury boutiques, local produce, sports shops and ready to wear clothes - Val d’Isere has it all!!
