Chalet Lafitenia, Val d’Isere

Description

With its breathtaking views across the Manchet Valley and its close proximity to the piste, Chalet Lafitenia occupies an enviable position in Val d’Isère. This luxury ski chalet combines space and comfort with traditional touches and warm furnishings, making a cosy haven for your adventures in the mountains.

All six bedrooms have ensuite bath or shower rooms, and the majority have access to a private terrace or balcony. The large south facing picture windows give all rooms a light and airy feel, which complements the sumptuous fabrics and comfy homeliness that is characteristic of this luxury chalet.

Chalet Lafitenia has many lovely traditional Savoyard features such as honey coloured beams and cosy bedrooms, each with an atmosphere of alpine comfort and charm.

Chalet Lafitenia is located in a private enclave of chalets and benefits from a ski-in/ski-out position. Of course, if you prefer, you can be dropped off and collected by your private chauffeur, who is at your beck and call from 8am to 2am.

After an active day on the slopes of the Espace Killy you will come back to a delicious afternoon tea, complete with homemade cakes. Then you can get down to the serious business of relaxing in one of the two private hot tubs with a glass of champagne or treat yourself to a full body massage organised by your private concierge. Alternatively you may choose to curl up in front of the open log fire before you enjoy a three course culinary experience from your very own gourmet chef.

You wont have to lift a finger when you stay at Chalet Lafitenia. The property is staffed with personal chefs, chalet managers and hosts trained to the highest possible standard, and the dedicated team will be on hand to pamper your every whim with the greatest possible care.

Your personal concierge service will make life at Chalet Lafitenia effortless. From arranging lunch reservations at the best mountain restaurants or skidoo rides for the children, no stone is left unturned in the build up to, and during your stay. We are always happy to deal with any special request you may have, no matter how large or small.

Location

Chalet Lafitenia is set in a ski-in/ski-out location in Val d’Isere, close to the lifts and town centre.

There are two options when skiing back to the chalet; the first is via a red run know as Piste M which runs just above the chalet, from here it is possible to cut through to the chalet via a short section of tree lined off piste track.

The second is via a blue run called Santons which runs just below the chalet.

Guests do however have the service of a chauffeur from 8am to 2am, if you would prefer to be picked up straight from the lifts or you simply wish to sample the bars of Val d’Isère in the evening.

The nearest airports are Chambery, just under 2 hour’s drive and Geneva and Lyon, both of which are approximately 3 hours away.
