The log burning fire, cocktail bar and dedicated TV snug/playroom are arranged with everyone’s comfort in mind, allowing both adults and children to find space to relax. Outdoors you will find a bubbling hot tub or why not relax in the sauna?

Six tastefully decorated bedrooms accommodate up to 12 guests (including a family suite of a double room and joining bunk room). Many of the bedrooms have direct access to the south facing balcony or garden terrace where there are enclosed gardens.

For the adults, the carnotzet can be found in the cave under the chalet with an enticing selection of wines waiting to be savoured. Perfect for an evening after a thrilling day in the beautiful Portes du Soleil ski domain. And, there is plenty to keep children entertained, from the outdoor playhouse, toys and games/arts and crafts supplies, early suppers can also be arranged at their very own children’s table.
