Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet TheaChalet Thea is located in the picturesque Alpine ski resort of Val d’Isere, one of the region’s most popular resorts. The chalet is nestled in the peaceful and serene area of Les Carats, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the valley below visible from the property’s large terrace.
To get to the chalet, you can fly into Geneva or Lyon airport, which are both around a 3-hour away from Val d’Isere. Alternatively, you can take a train to Bourg St Maurice and then take a short shuttle or taxi to the chalet.
Once in the resort, you’ll see that Val d’Isere is one of the most popular ski resorts in Europe and attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over the world. Offering over 300km of pristine ski slopes, the Espace Killy ski area boasts a fantastic variety of runs for all levels of skiers. There are also a number of off-piste areas for those looking for a more adventurous experience.
From Chalet Thea, you can directly access the legendary Bellevarde slope or make your way to the nearby ski lifts to explore the other slopes on offer before tackling Bellevarde. In addition to skiing, Val d’Isere also offers a wonderful range of other winter activities, such as dog sledging, snowmobiling, and tobogganing.
In town, you’ll find a wonderful selection of trendy shops, delicious restaurants, and cosy cafes to explore, while those seeking a more relaxed experience can visit one of the many spas in the area for massages and other treatments.

The Resort
Val d’Isere is the oldest of the French ski resorts and a gleaming icon at the end of the valley where the residential town lies. Surrounded by what is arguably some of the most beautiful mountain landscape in the world, the chalet village is centred around a charming baroque church. It’s a lovely place for wandering, taking in the cosy atmosphere and spending quality time with your favourite people.
Val d’Isere is composed of three skiing sections. These are La Daille, Val d’Isere centre and Le Fornet, all of which are linked by a free shuttle service. Alongside Tignes, the resort is part of a wider ski area known as Espace Killy, and a lift pass will get you access to its entirety. Ski season in both resorts stretches as long as May.
Thanks to its high altitude, Val d’Isere is probably your most snow sure option for skiing in the French Alps. The village rests at 1850 metres and its peak on top of the La Grande Motte glacier is 3456 metres high. Sixty per cent of the resort’s pistes are set above 2200 metres, meaning that the skiing is consistently good but on rare occasions, bad weather can cause the slopes to close. It’s also important to keep in mind that Val d’Isere isn’t the best choice if you’re just finding your feet on the snow, and beginners may well find themselves challenged. On the flipside, Val d’Isere is one of the top choices for experienced skiers and snowboarders, with plenty of challenging black runs (such as the iconic Face the Bellevarde, where the 1992 Olympic men’s downhill was run).
And to go with some of the most exciting and picturesque skiing in France, down in the village you’ll find some amazing bars and restaurants. What better way to celebrate conquering that tricky black run than by indulging in some equally entertaining après-ski? On the mountain itself, you can start your evening with DJ’s and live music at La Folie Douce until the lifts close and then work your way into town.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Thea is a fantastic choice for families looking to enjoy a fun-filled break in the Alps, with plenty of activities for kids to enjoy during their stay both in and around the chalet.
Within the chalet, the cosy living room with its comfortable sofas and roaring fireplace is perfect for spending quality time with family and friends watching movies and TV on the large flat-screen TV.
Away from the living room, the chalet’s spacious dinner table provides an ideal space for families to play board and card games and enjoy art and craft activities together during their stay. On the lowest level of the chalet, kids also love the in-home games room with its table-top games such as table football and table tennis.
Additionally, kids can connect to the chalet’s high-speed WiFi on their personal devices, allowing them to surf the internet, play video games, and stream their favourite music, movies and TV shows wherever they like.
Beyond the chalet, kids can also make the most of their time in Val d’Isere by taking their chance to tackle as much of the Espace Killy as they feel comfortable. With a fantastic range of ski runs across its 300km of pistes, kids can quickly build confidence by working their way through the varied slopes of the area.
When not on the mountain, kids can also participate in the many family-friendly activities around the resort such as indoor rock climbing, indoor swimming, ice skating at the local rink, and soft play for infants and toddlers.
