The chalet is just 50m from the piste which gives access to the 6-seater chairlift out of the village; the Vanoise Express for skiing in la Plagne and the ski school meeting point. At the end of the day you can ski back to the same spot.
Chalet Gentiane has been built to our specifications and finished to a high standard. The entrance to the chalet is on the first floor with two bedrooms on this level and another four on the level below together with a sauna. All bedrooms have full en-suite facilities.
The open plan dining area and lounge are located on the top floor with seating around a glass-fronted log burning stove. Balconies on two sides provide stunning views across the valley towards Montchavin in la Plagne and the Vanoise express which links to the two resorts.

Dietary Requirements
We strive to ensure that your specific dietary requirements and preferences are catered for as best we can. Please let us know at least 14 days prior to your holiday start date, to ensure that this is possible. Our team can cater for special dietary requirements be they for medical reasons, religious reasons or simply personal preference. Our chalet hosts will be advised of these requirements in advance of your stay and every effort will be made to ensure that they are met. However, we cannot guarantee that certain ingredients will not be in the environment nor can we guarantee that cross-contamination will not occur.
Children's Food
Children aged 11 and under will be served High Tea at around 6pm. This is provided at no extra cost and ensures that your child's normal routine is not disturbed: soft drinks or milk are served with the meal. It also ensures that adults can enjoy their evening meal, which is served at 8pm. If you have booked a whole chalet then you can eat together - please speak to your chalet hosts on arrival.
The Festive Season
An Alpine chalet is a wonderful place to spend the festive season. We provide Christmas trees and decorations. On the day itself, you can look forward to aperitifs, turkey with all the trimmings, flaming Christmas pudding, mince pies, and of course, Christmas crackers. For New Year most of our resorts will have torch-lit descents, fireworks and other celebrations. Alternatively, you could just enjoy New Year's Eve dinner in your chalet with a glass or two of fizz.
