Chalet Papillon, Val d'Isere, France

Chalet Papillon is a two minute walk to the Bellevarde Express lift and close to the center of Val d'Isere. Geneva 170km, Chambery 135km, Lyon 234km.

Situated in a prime spot just meters from the bottom of the Bellevarde chairlift, Chalet Papillon is a clever blend of authentic alpine architecture with a modern feel. The chalet has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and is characterized by some clever contemporary touches.

Accommodation is thoughtfully spread out over two floors, with two double bedrooms on each level, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Particularly suited to families, the master bedroom has an adjoining bunk room - ideal for two children.

The lower ground floor features the swimming pool and hammam, a welcome haven after an exhilarating day on the slopes. The open living area with separate kitchen takes up the entire top floor, with exceptional mountain views from the floor to ceiling windows and a large balcony.

As the standard of luxury chalets in Val d'Isère reaches a new level, we believe that the incredible location of this chalet coupled with its superb design and finish more than justifies its inclusion in this elite collection.
