INDULGE IN THE ULTIMATE LUXURY EXPERIENCE
We set up our sister company Haute Montagne to cater to the exacting demands of our clients looking for the ultimate chalet holiday experience, expecting the finest luxury properties accompanied by the very best of service levels.
It is not by accident that the Haute Montagne experience has come to be known as superyachts in the snow.
THE PROPERTIES
Haute Montagne chalets are among the finest properties available to rent in the ski industry. They are the best properties in resort and are all stand-alone mega-chalets with beautiful furnishings and decadent spa facilities.
THE SERVICE
You will be looked after by a team of highly trained professionals, each selected for excellence in their field, attention to detail, and discretion.
Alpine Luxe properties are large, normally stand-alone chalets with decadent available space. Constructed from exceptional materials they have fabulous luxurious interiors.
The chalets range in size from 300m2 to 1,000m2 and have between four and 11 bedrooms.
Read MoreEvery booking in these properties comes with our bespoke concierge service from the very first contact we have with you at the time of taking the booking, building all the way to your arrival in resort, throughout your stay until the moment that you leave.
Alpine Classic properties are where are exacting standards begin. In many cases the only differentiating factor between Alpine Classic and Alpine Luxe is size. The quality of materials, the interior design and in many cases the available facilities are exceptionally good.
Read MoreServicing an Alpine Classic property requires the same caring attention to detail that a booking in any one of our properties demand. Again, because the properties are in many cases a lot smaller than our Luxe portfolio, they don’t demand the same size of teams, and this is the main criteria that determines the difference between service provision in a Classic or Luxe property.
The Jewel of the Savoie
Lengthy, Snow-abundant Winters, Wide Open Pistes, and Seemingly Endless Ski Terrain Make Val D’isère a Skier’s Dream Destination.
The Mountain
Located in the Savoie area of France, the charismatic resort of Val d’Isère sits at an impressive altitude of 1,850m making it one of the highest positioned resorts in the Alps.
The highest skiing point in the resort is the top of La Grande Motte glacier, at an impressive 3,456m. Over 60% of the pistes are above 2,200m meaning the resort accumulates great volumes of snow that holds for longer.

Val D'isère Village Life
Authentic, Aesthetic, and Charming, Val D’isère is the Ideal French Ski Resort.
Beautiful stone and wood chalets make up the villages of La Daille and Le Fornet which are linked to the main town where the streets are prettily decorated with tasteful boutique stores, appealing restaurants, and buzzing bars. The free shuttle bus system is second to none making getting around and exploring hassle-free.
Val d’Isère maintains a strong sense of history through the 17th-century church that still stands in the village. This iconic stone relic, which is beautifully illuminated by night, watches over the village and is a picturesque reminder of its modest roots as a farming village.
The village is well known for its wide range of restaurants, bars and designer shops that cater to a multitude of tastes.
Après-ski
From a relaxed beer to a glass of the finest champagne, there are après options for every type of skier in Val d’Isère. Reputedly offering the best après in the Alps is the infamous La Folie Douce located at the top of the La Daille gondola. The music starts early and world-famous DJs work the crowds of revellers throughout the afternoon into the evening. Cocorico, located on beginner slope in the village, is another popular choice. Live musicians playing popular cover songs on the outside terrace draw an appreciative afternoon audience. There are many other sunny decks on which to enjoy a post-ski drink as you make your way down the mountain and once skis are off, the village beckons with great spots.
Restaurants in Val D’isère
When it comes to dining out, Val d’Isère covers all tastes and modes. It offers not only diversity but is known for producing a generally high standard of cuisine. During the days, the mountain huts are teeming with hungry skiers serving traditional favourites such as fondue, tartiflette, and crozets. For a more sophisticated option, a table at La Peau de Vache provides delicious choices including the best burgers on the mountain. La Fruitiere is the gorgeously rustic fine-dining restaurant next to La Foulie Douce serving traditional Savoyard cuisine and you cannot go wrong with L’Ouillette in Solaise which serves a fantastic barbeque on their sunny terrace and excellent pastry desserts. Dining in the village is just as memorable, at the top of the list is the two Michelin star L’Aterlier d’Edmond, located in Le Fornet and we’d be delighted to make recommendations and book you a table. Other popular eateries include Baraque and the Fondue Factory, which has a mini museum inside the restaurant.
Nightlife
For those with an appetite to party, Val d’Isère will more than satisfy. Dick’s Tea Bar is a village institution. It opens after après ends and keeps going until 5am, with DJs, live sax and electric violin keeping party goers on their toes through the night. The Doudoune club is hugely popular with its Ibiza-feel and fun-stirring theme nights, and they even offer a convenient pick up service. The list is long and varied.
Winter Activities
A Skiing Mecca, Yes, But There’s Also So Much Else to Do in Val D’isère.
One of the many attractions of Val d’Isère is that it is not just a ski destination in the winter months. For non-skiers and those looking for a break from the slopes, there is an exciting and varied list of alternative activities. The many boutiques along the high street are a must for some retail therapy. A number of very high-end spa facilities provide spaces for rejuvenating mind and body. A great option for those with children is the Centre Aquasportif which has a great pool with fountains and a water current. There is also a climbing wall to burn off a bit of energy.
A firm family Val d’Isère favourite is the sledging at the nursery slope next to the Savonette lift where you can ride interlocking sledges collectively called the Snake Gliss, an exercise that guarantees some belly laughs. Another popular family activity is the dog sledding. Those looking for other ways to challenge themselves could try ice driving in the BMW-sponsored circuit in La Daille, and for those with a real sense of adventure, there’s ice diving under the lake in Tignes where you can dive up to 80m below the surface. Para-penting, snow shoeing, and indulging in great food are other great options for during your stay.
Summer in Val D'isère
Val d’Isère may be a world-famous ski resort, but the summer months have plenty to offer visitors too. It is even possible to ski here if you did not get your fix in the winter season – giving you the perfect opportunity to book another stay in our luxury chalets, Val d’Isère.
The resort is much quieter during the summer than during the winter, but during the warmer months, the Alps is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Some of the activities you can enjoy are hiking, mountain biking, road biking, via ferrata, yoga and paragliding. The scenery is breathtaking, with mountain meadows covered in wild flowers, crystal clear lakes and forests alive with birds and insects.
