STUNNING BRAND NEW CHALET FOR 8 GUESTS

We are so pleased to show off our newest property in Val d’Isere, Chalet Azel. It is the brainchild of the same family who built our most beautiful chalet, La Belle Etoile. Azel (named after one of the family) lies below Belle Etoile, near the eponymous river Isere, and is a very short walk from the bus stop which will take you either to La Daille or the Bellevarde Express.

Some people try and build chalets over just one summer but this family know a thing or two about building quality and so have very wisely opted to finish it over 2 years. It was started in May 2023 and Chalet Azel will be finished for this coming winter, 24/25.

The very spacious and comfortable lounge and dining areas have a welcoming log fireplace and huge picture windows on 3 sides as well as a large terrace. Everything about Chalet Azel is top quality, from the triple glazing to the fixtures and fittings to the beds and pillows.

All the bedrooms are spacious and have their own ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and separate wc. There is a hot tub and a sauna on the ground floor of the building for the exclusive use for guests. There is also a heated boot room and a ski store.

Location
Val d’Isère is a dramatic resort with an excellent lift system. There are easy links to Tignes which make it a huge skiing area, renowned for challenging skiing and vast off-piste areas.

This is not to say that novices are overlooked – they can warm up on the free ‘Village’ drag, then opt for the ‘Ski Tranquille’ area around Borsat.

More experienced skiers should try out ‘Criterium’ in La Daille, venturing to ‘Mattis’ in the trees during snowy weather.

A trip over to Tignes is simple and quick and opens up all manner of options for skiing and sampling the vin chaud! Advanced skiers will enjoy the challenge of speeding down La Face (the Olympic downhill in 1992) at the end of the day.

Those who have come to sample the famous powder have almost unlimited options – take a professional guide.

Meals

Breakfast
A hearty, substantial breakfast is vital before a day on the slopes so that’s what we serve. Our morning feasts have really evolved over the last few years and we get lots of very positive feedback about them.

There’s a tempting range of continental options, fresh crusty baguette and porridge as well as a cooked breakfast. There’s a different hot option each of the 5 mornings when breakfast is served to you by your host (please note this will be different on our short breaks in January).

No compromise is made on quality – we serve Heinz baked beans and ketchup, HP sauce and real teabags from the UK! Breakfast is served from 08.00 to 09.00.

Afternoon tea
Tuck into tempting treats after your day in the mountains. Help yourself to a freshly baked cake or biscuits which will have been made by your host. There will also be fresh baguette, jams, tea and coffee to enjoy.

Dinner
Dinner service is informal as we want you to feel at home in your chalet. Your chalet host will prepare and serve all your meals.

We work with local producers and suppliers to create an interesting and varied range of high quality home-made dishes.

Whilst you will never go hungry our staff have been trained in sustainability in the kitchen and we endeavour to keep food waste to a minimum.

After your three course dinner simply leave the table and relax with coffee and chocolates…if you have any room left (5 nights)
