Val d Isere

I guess any luxury catered chalet blog should start with Val d Isere, not only one of the best ski resorts in Europe, but a resort that truly has some of the best luxury catered chalets that you can stop at. At 1,850m the resort is as snow sure as it gets, and has Glacier skiing up to 3,450m, but lets talk about luxury catered chalets.
One of my favourite has to be Chalet Yeti, sleeping 10 in total luxury, this a ski in ski out luxury catered Val d'Isere chalet that boasts its own swimming pool,  a hot tub, two reception rooms, and you can either ski from the door or use the 4x4 chauffeured transport!

If you have a larger party, how about Chalet Le Chardon, a 20 bed Val d Isere luxury catered chalet with ten bedrooms, all en-suite, where you can ski in ski out and weather permitting have drinks served on the terrace from a hand crafted 'snow bar'! It also has an 6m swim spa for the athletic clients amongst you.  Dinner here is 5 courses and this is a gastronomic delight, and in the morning, if you don't want to ski down from the chalet, there is again a 4x4 chauffeured vehicle.

We could go on, but we'll finish with Chalet Bergerie as our last featured luxury catered chalet in Val d Isere. Sleeping 11 people, Chalet Bergerie is an old 17th century shepherds hut that has been transformed exceptionally by the owners to make it one of the stand out luxury chalets in the resort. Full of character, it has six bedrooms, one interconnected and ideal for a nanny.

So if you are tired of chalets claiming to be luxury, that just aren't, you won't go far wring with these three.
