Desirable luxury ski chalets

All but a few of our properties have started from a blank sheet of paper. This has allowed us to blend the practical demands of a modern skier with a comfort and convenience to make your experience in the Alps feel both seamless and special. There have been plenty of challenges; rules, regulations, planning, to say nothing of the difficulty of building at altitude during a short summer season at the top of the hill, but over a few decades we have curated a lovely collection of properties that provide all the comforts you would expect of your own home, but placed at the top of the mountain and right by the side of the piste.

Something for everyone

Most of our chalets sleep from 4 to 15 guests and are booked exclusively for most of the season by a single party, we call them Private Chalets. Some of our larger chalets are better suited to larger groups, we call then CLUB Chalets, and are available to book by the room. Our service in CLUB Chalets is enhanced to embrace a more hotel like vibe and to help everyone mix and mingle.

We also have one “all singing-all dancing” proper Hotel, Bear Lodge in Arcs 1950, where we blend our ubiquitous relaxed chalet service with a range of bedroom types perfect for families and groups and plenty of theatre including pool, spa, cinema, kids club, ski shop and bar.

We start from the inside out

Our chalets in Les Arcs and La Plagne started with a cut out of the sofa, wardrobe and bed size that we wanted, and we then drew the walls around the shapes. Back to front thinking maybe, but it does mean comfy evenings around the fire, room to get into bed and plenty of space for your ski stuff. To this we then add the fun stuff: cinemas, pools, hot tubs, and feather sofa seat cushions to massage your glutinous maximus after a hard day on the slopes.

Sometimes we design, build and operate ourselves, sometimes we just design and operate, either way the principals are the same; carefully chosen locations at the top of the hill and close to the piste. Pragmatic but stylish interiors for today’s skiers, less of the gold taps, more of the card coded doors, heated boots in the morning, endless hot water from waterfall shower heads and bright light by your bedside. The simple important stuff done well.

Going green & tech

In our latest developments we have embraced eco-friendly innovations where we can to help protect the glaciers we all love. Traditional log fires needing a hole in the roof have been replaced with sleek water vapour alternatives and electric radiators replaced with computer controlled underfloor heating. We know that IT is today’s most important utility (certainly for the kids!) and so we work hard to stay ahead of the curve with cutting-edge technology; lightning-fast Wi-Fi and smart TVs that let you stream your favourite services seamlessly, just like at home.
