Les Chardons Chalet
27 Bedroom Chalet in Val d'Isere. Sleeps 48
Sweet family hotel in one of the best locations that is run as a chalet, located only ten seconds from the very heart of the quaint and quiet old village, and mere metres from the snow square, nursery slopes, drag lifts, ski schools, bus stops and all the shops.
Inside, the chalet is much more comfortable than one might imagine from its slightly plain exterior. The dining room is charming and top chef Murray leads a team in the professional kitchen, while his wife Christina runs the rest of the chalet with the same professional eye for detail.
Guests keep their own drinks in a fridge in the sitting room, and they can buy drinks in for you if ordered in advance. There is a snug, a second sitting area with HD Sky+ for those who don't want to miss the your favourite shows.
There is a ski/snowboard locker and a room containing nothing but boot-warmers and glove-warmers. If you are accustomed to the pleasure of slipping your feet into warm, dry boots, wait until you put on warm, dry gloves!
Chalet Les Chardons is unique in that is is a large chalet for keen skiers who are also keen foodies, and it sells out very quickly.
