The cosy chalet offers ski in/ski out facilities, ideal for those wanting to enjoy as much time on the pistes as possible before relaxing by the fireplace in the living room in the evening. As well as this, you will find first class luxuries available in both the communal areas and in the private apartments of the residence, including a heated indoor swimming pool, a wellness centre and a pub. The chalet also features free Wi-Fi at reception and a covered car park.

Val Thorens

Le Chalet Altitude is located in the heart of the Balcons district of the purpose built Val Thorens ski resort, which can be found in the heart of the French Alps within the Réserve Naturelle du Plan de la Tuéda national park. As one of France's most popular winter holiday destinations, this Alpine region boasts an array of sporting activities and picturesque surroundings, with the resort itself offering a range of restaurants and bars, as well as a bustling après ski scene. With stunning surroundings of sparkling white mountains and deep forests it's the ideal place for those looking to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Ski Area

Val Thorens is situated at an altitude of 2300 metres, making it the highest ski resort in Europe and ideal for keen skiers, with one of the longest ski seasons in the Alps. During the winter months, the entire area is covered with sparkling white snow, making it an ideal destination for skiing holidays. With 140 km of pistes to be explored, you'll find plenty to do in Val Thorens itself, as well as access to the 3 Valleys, which is the largest linked ski area in the world. The 3 Valleys is renowned for its seemingly endless terrain which is so extensive and widely varied that it is perfectly suited for every level of skiing experience. Situated at an altitude of between 1800 and 3230 metres, the 3 Valleys boasts 600km of high quality pistes of 183 green, 135 blue, 119 red and 33 black runs. This lively ski area is also famously home to some of the most stunning alpine views in France.
