Villa Overview
Chalet Arolay Penthouse is a four-bedroom ski chalet in Val d'Isère — a 5-minute walk from the Le Fornet lift station and a 5-minute drive from the village centre, with balconies and heated boot warmers on-site.
Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and capacity for up to eight guests. The chalet is set up for family groups and friends who want a comfortable base in one of the Alps' best-known ski resorts. The Le Fornet lift station is a 5-minute walk from the chalet, which makes morning starts easy without needing to drive. The Olympique Cable Car and Val Village Centre are both within a short drive. Balconies frame the surrounding mountain views, and heated boot warmers are on-site — a small detail that matters on a ski holiday.
The Chalet
Four air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms across the chalet, all with mountain views. The main living and dining areas open onto the balconies. Heated boot warmers are on-site for drying ski equipment overnight. A Bluetooth speaker, smart TV, and Wi-Fi are provided. The chalet is set up for self-catered stays, with the option to arrange catering through the villa team.
Location and Neighborhood
Val d'Isère, in the Savoie region of the French Alps — one of the world's most storied ski destinations, part of the Espace Killy ski area shared with Tignes. The Le Fornet lift station is a 5-minute walk from the chalet. The Olympique Cable Car and Val Village Centre are both a 5-minute drive. Chambery Airport (CMF) is roughly 2 hours by car. Geneva Airport (GVA) is roughly 3 hours. Lyon Airport (LYS) is roughly 3 hours. The chalet's position gives guests walkable access to the Le Fornet lifts while keeping the village a short drive away.
Best For
Families or groups of friends of up to eight who want a comfortable base in Val d'Isère. The four-bedroom layout works well for two families travelling together or a group of four couples. The balconies, heated boot warmers, and quiet location near Le Fornet make the chalet a practical choice for guests who want a quieter side of the resort while keeping the village within easy reach. For a similarly scaled chalet, Chalet 1850 sleeps twelve with five bedrooms and a dedicated cinema room.
