The perfect luxury ski destination
Host to the Winter Olympics, World Championships and more top skiing
competitions than any other European resort, Val d'Isere offers some of the
most technically challenging pistes in the Alps.
Fortunately, an array of gentle slopes suit the less experienced skier, while the apres-ski scene is crowned
by the now legendary Folie Douce and the popular new kid on the block Cocorico. Gastronomes can feast on the
Michelin starred excellence of L'Atelier d'Edmond. It's no surprise then that we chose the world class ski resort of Val d'Isere
for our luxury ski chalet collection over 25 years ago. To discuss your ski chalet requirements and check availability,
