Chalet Des Pentes enjoys a fabulous location for skiers being located right next to the Funival, La Daille bubbles and Les Etroits chairlifts. There is a free ski bus into Val d'Isere that runs until 1.45am or the option of a 20-minute walk for those who wish to stay out longer into the night.

The sitting and dining rooms are magnificent, with hand-made sofas and bespoke curtains. Des Pistes has a single sitting-dining room with wide-screen TVs with DVDs, roaring log fires and one’s fellow guests for entertainment.

The bedrooms in the chalet are very comfortable, with smart bathrooms, underfloor heating, good lighting and longer, firmer beds than usual in France. The biggest bedroom in des Neiges has three single beds, so your group can include up to fifteen people. We only charge for thirteen in any case, so the last two would pay nothing.

In the basement is a room for drying ski clothes during bad weather. Just inside the front door is a ski room where each bedroom has a private ski locker with very effective individual boot warmers.
