Spending Christmas in a chalet in the mountains means offering your family a timeless break. Chalet Exclusive offers you a range of chalets in the French Alps for unforgettable Christmas holidays in exceptional settings.

Family Christmas holidays in a catered or self-catered ski chalet 

To spend Christmas with your family in a chalet, you need a place that is comfortable, cosy and adapted to everyone's needs. In the morning, enjoy the ski slopes or organise a snowball fight in the garden. In the afternoon, warm up in front of the fireplace, or swim in the private pool in your chalet. In the evening, Chalet Exclusive by Villanovo's concierge service can organise a Christmas meal or personalised festive decorations. Every step of the way, we have thought of everything so that you can savour the fresh mountain air at your chalet and enjoy the festive season with complete peace of mind.
