There is no rival to Chalet l’Hotsé, the chicest chalet accommodation in Val d’Isere. It is a cottage-style chalet spread across 250-square-metres of sumptuous space; split across two luxurious levels, it has room for 12 well-heeled guests. What’s more, it comes fully-loaded with everything a chalet guest could ever want, including a private swimming pool, fitness room, solarium and south-facing terrace with Norwegian Bath.

There’s HD TV in all rooms, plus three home cinemas with a well-stocked library of 450 DVDs. Optional extras include daily cleaning, catered breakfasts, dinners and a driver. And with the chalet found just off main street, it’s a no-brainer. One of Val d’Isère’s must-stays.
