Experimental Chalet
A beautiful hotel with spa facilities close to the lifts
Located in the very heart of Val d'Isère, this hotel is one of the most fashionable hotels in the region. Perched at 1,850m, just a stone's throw from the pistes, it is ideally situated for guests who want a large hotel with luxurious amenities but still be close enough to all the action.
Hints of rustic wood are interwoven with deep green hues and rich terracotta, and maple doors are complete with handles reminiscent of elk’s antlers. Sink into a king sized bed after a day’s adventures and soak up the views of the mountains just beyond the windows.
From romantic sojourns and weekends with friends, to family holidays filled with memories, Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère is the perfect escape with endless possibilities. Blue skies and fresh snow are the backdrop for winter’s best adventures, from skiing and snowboarding to snowshoeing and sledging. A quiet retreat in the spa awaits topped off with refreshing dips in the pool and the warm cocoon of the sauna and hammam.
Inside each room, suite and loft, all the luxuries of home are at your fingertips. Guests will find an espresso machine for fresh coffee any time of day, plus a minibar, complimentary WiFi, a media centre and HDTV. Each room has a spacious bathroom, many with a bathtub or a balcony.
