Chalet Blackcomb

The Perfect Place to Relax

This gorgeous chalet in the ski mecca of Val d’Isere is currently being refurbished and will be ready to launch for the winter of 2022/23. We haven’t yet been able to take a peek at the interior but that does not stop us recommending it with enthusiasm. The way the chalet is operated will fit the ski holiday needs of a group of friends or family who seek a relaxed approach and yet appreciate and fully expect a luxurious setting with service that is both attentive and discrete.

You anticipate bountiful breakfasts and delectable dinners prepared with expertise and flair but you don’t want stuffy formality. You will find them at Blackcomb.

That feeling when you slide into a pool after a day on the mountains is one of those experiences that you anticipate all year. You would be disappointed not to find it when you reach your chalet. If that pool is large enough to swim a few lengths, all the better.

A well-stocked bar and a glass of bottomless Perrier-Jouët Champagne with pre-dinner nibbles are obvious requirements. Help yourself!
Lying back in a bubbling hot tub on your south-facing terrace as the stars switch on all over the vast alpine sky is a bonus.

Chalet Blackcomb’s exterior is attractively authentic, so that it nestles into the landscape without imposing harsh modernity on the glories of the alpine valley that draws so many people to its world class ski slopes. Its interior will share this respect for its environment, with plenty of natural timber and use of local stone. It will also warm the heart, with open fires in both living areas where comfortable sofas invite relaxation. One of these living areas is an easy-going sitting room that shares its space with the open plan kitchen, the other a spacious lounge and dining room with balconies that look out to the magnificence of the mountains around you. Situated on the floor below the living area, all five bedrooms have and ensuite bath or shower room. From the two largest bedrooms you can open a door onto the terrace and scamper through the icy cold air to the welcoming heat of water and the therapy of that outdoor hot tub.

The location, the satisfyingly private area of Cacholet, where you find peace only two minutes’ drive from the vibrance of Val d’Isere central, cannot fail to delight. Especially as you will enjoy a private shuttle to and from the ski lifts serving either La Daille or the Front de Neige ski areas to whisk you from the charms of your chalet to your adventures on the mountains.

The laid-back and yet sophisticated ambiance at Chalet Blackcomb will align with many of our guests’ vision of the perfect ski holiday. It comes with a concierge service that has the expertise and the local knowledge that will enable dreams to come true, from live music as you dine to back-country expeditions with the best mountain guides.
And we can’t wait to see its interior when this refurbishment is complete!
