Chalet Azel, Val d'Isere, France

STUNNING BRAND NEW CHALET FOR 8 GUESTS

We are so pleased to show off our newest property in Val d'Isere, Chalet Azel. It is the brainchild of the same family who built our most beautiful chalet, La Belle Etoile. Azel (named after one of the family) lies below Belle Etoile, near the eponymous river Isere, and is a very short walk from the bus stop which will take you either to La Daille or the Bellevarde Express.

Chalet Azel was started in May 2023 and is now finished, to the highest possible standards. The whole family have worked on the chalet themselves and they've also designed and built it in an environmentally friendly fashion - as far as is possible in the Alps.

The trees which had to be chopped down to make way for the chalet have been used throughout the building - some are window sills, some are exterior cladding, etc. There is an air source heat pump which uses already heated air to help heat the water. The family also plant new trees every year to replace those felled. All in all it's a pretty cool chalet!

The very spacious and comfortable lounge and dining areas have a welcoming log fireplace and huge picture windows on 3 sides as well as a large terrace. Everything about Chalet Azel is top quality, from the triple glazing to the fixtures and fittings to the beds and pillows.

All the bedrooms are spacious and have their own ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and separate wc. There is an outdoor hot tub on Azel's balcony and a sauna on the ground floor of the building for the exclusive use of guests. There is also a heated boot room and a ski store.

Chalet Azel is situated on the opposite side of the road to our own Cacholet chalets and it's a 2 minute walk to the nearest bus stop which takes you to the main lifts. However...

Guests in Chalet Azel can also use our shuttle service to and from the slopes in the morning and evening.

Dinner

Canapes and fizz are served at 7:30pm as you unwind and relax for the evening. The fizz is from our friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret and is made just down the valley!

Relax with coffee and chocolates after dinner… if you have any room left!
