Chalet Alice, Val d'Isere, France

In the peaceful, private "Fermes de Val" area, Alice is a 10 minute walk from the center of Val d'Isère and a 8-10 minute walk to the Bellevarde Express lift. Geneva 170km, Chambery 135km, Lyon 234km.

Wonderful architecture combined with avant-garde interior décor and furnishings mean that this chalet oozes character and class. Among the finest chalets in Val d'Isère, Chalet Alice occupies the position at the top of the road guaranteeing complete privacy and, being slightly elevated, this magnificent luxury ski chalet has great views over the Isère valley.

Despite being close to the center of the village, Chalet Alice's secluded location guarantees peace and quiet, yet the main lift station takes only a couple of minutes to reach in one of our chauffeured 4x4s, or less than 10 minutes to walk.

The ground floor exemplifies the modern luxury chalet and is a real playground. The indoor swimming pool with jet stream and hammam are ideal for relaxing after a long day skiing and if the weather is bad, you may be tempted to not even leave the comfort of the chalet! For the ideal pampering we can also arrange for a beauty therapist or physiotherapist to come to the chalet for a treatment or massage. The spacious ski room is equipped with boot-warmers and gives direct access to the 4x4 waiting for you outside.

On the first floor, three of the en-suite bedrooms perfectly combine the Alpine rusticity of heavy antique wooden beams with ultra modern touches such as washbowl basins and chrome towel rails and are finished with super-stylish furniture.

The living space is double height with huge windows making the most of the valley views and the open fireplace and large south facing terrace mean that you need never lack for warmth whatever the weather. The unique slate dining table is the perfect place to experience our famous hospitality and mouthwatering cuisine, while enjoying quality time in the company of friends and family.

Upstairs, the large master suite occupies the whole top floor and offers the party leader intimacy and Alpine chalet authenticity.

All of our chalets are non-smoking.
