For a ski holiday in the Northern French Alps with family or friends, a luxury chalet gives you the space to spend time together while still giving everyone some privacy. After a day on the slopes, the living areas provide a welcoming place to unwind together.
When skiing levels and interests differ, everyone can enjoy winter sports at their own pace. Location, ski-in/ski-out access where available, wellness facilities and the services offered can matter just as much as the number of bedrooms when choosing a property.
Across Savoie, Haute-Savoie and Isère, the right resort depends as much on the ski area as on the atmosphere you are looking for. Our chalets to rent in the 3 Valleys provide easy access to one of the largest interconnected ski areas. Our collection of luxury ski chalets in Courchevel includes properties in several villages and at different altitudes, with a particularly extensive range of services in Courchevel 1850. Our chalets in Méribel are in a resort known for its Savoyard architecture and central position within the ski area. Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Val Thorens offer different atmospheres within the 3 Valleys.
Tignes and Val d’Isère appeal to skiers for their altitude and extensive ski area. Tignes has a sportier atmosphere and a high-mountain setting, while our luxury chalets in Val d’Isère combine access to an extensive ski area with in-chalet services.
Megève retains the character of a Savoyard village, reflected in the architecture of its chalets . Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc, appeals to travellers drawn to mountaineering and a high-mountain setting. Alpe d’Huez, meanwhile, combines an extensive ski area with the sunshine for which the resort is known.
Villanovo’s collection in the Northern Alps also includes the Portes du Soleil, with Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets, and Paradiski, with La Plagne and Les Arcs. La Rosière and Le Grand-Bornand offer a more family-oriented atmosphere, while Les Saisies add further variety to the choice of resorts.
The chalet’s proximity to the slopes can make a real difference day to day. Depending on the property, you may be able to ski directly from the chalet or stay close to the slopes and ski lifts. Direct access is particularly convenient for families with children, making departures and returns easier.
After skiing, some chalets feature a heated indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, hammam or spa. Depending on the property, house staff, a private chef or cook, breakfast or half board may also be available, making day-to-day life and meals at the chalet easier to organise.

Read our articleEven with a similar level of comfort, the experience can vary considerably depending on the resort and the property’s proximity to the slopes. Our Northern Alps specialists help you choose the right chalet for your ski holiday based on who you are travelling with, the skiing levels within your group, the winter sports you would like to enjoy and your priorities.
Whether your priorities are ski-in/ski-out access, a large interconnected ski area, a village atmosphere, a family chalet, altitude, panoramic views or in-chalet services, their knowledge of the resorts and our collection allows them to recommend the properties best suited to your stay.
Once you have chosen your chalet, our concierge service can help you plan your ski holiday. Depending on the resort and your needs, transfers, ski or cross-country ski lessons and selected in-chalet services can be arranged, including a private chef where available.
Our concierges can also arrange experiences away from the slopes, so that everyone can enjoy the mountains at their own pace.
