Bivouac Chalet
5 bedroom chalet in Val d'Isere. Sleeps 15
Cosy catered chalet with sauna, hot tub and flexible sleeping options just 40 metres from the piste in Val d’Isère.
Chalet Bivouac is a traditional Savoyarde-style chalet in Val d’Isère’s charming old village. Set over three floors, this lovely retreat sleeps up to ten guests in five ensuite twin or double bedrooms, with flexible mezzanine spaces to accommodate up to five additional guests - ideal for families or mixed-age groups.
After a day on the slopes, ease tired muscles in the outdoor hot tub or private sauna, then gather around the crackling fire in the open-plan living room for drinks and canapés before dinner.
For catering, expect generous, freshly prepared meals each day, cooked by your dedicated chalet team. Menus are indulgent and comforting - think homemade cakes by the fire, well-paired wines, and hearty dinners designed to satisfy after a day on the mountain. It’s food made to be enjoyed, with all the warmth and flavour you'd hope for on a ski holiday.
With easy access to ski lifts, ski school, and the resort’s best restaurants, shops and bars, Chalet Bivouac is perfectly placed for both skiing and après-ski. Available on a sole-occupancy basis only, it offers the comfort of complete privacy and the full attention of your dedicated chalet team throughout your stay.
