In winter, the firs are covered with a white dusting of snow and the steep mountain slopes are dressed in a thick immaculate coat of snow. When spring returns, then summer, it's a whole different scene: snow-covered slopes give way to green valleys, and glaciers become lakes with turquoise water.
Whether you're a fan of winter sports or a lover of the great outdoors, the French Alps have something to offer for everyone. Take to the skies by discovering our most beautiful vacation chalets in the French Alps.
Chalet Sisimut, Courchevel 1550 Village
A chalet in wonderland
Chalet Sisimut in Courchevel
Perched at an altitude of 1,550 meters, the ski resort of Courchevel seems straight out of a fairytale. There, in the hamlet of Marcandou, hides Chalet Sisimut. As soon as you step through its doors, you'll instantly see that this chalet in the Alps is unlike any other.
Inside, it's a veritable cabinet of curiosities populated by extraordinary animals. Sitting in the living room, surrounded by thousands of colourful trinkets, it can feel like you're in Wonderland at the Mad Hatter's tea party! The bedrooms feel like a Tyrolean village or a gray iceberg. As for the swimming pool, which opens to the outside, it looks like an enchanted jungle.

While we could stay here for hours, dreaming of a thousand and one stories that this enchanting chalet inspires, it's hard to resist the call of the slopes. Head to the ski lifts to climb the vertiginous peaks of the French Alps. You can also take the path in the opposite direction and descend to the blue lake, offering a sublime view of Mont-Blanc.
Chalet Chene, Val d’Isère
The time for reunion
Chalet Chene in Val d'Isère
If you're looking for a chalet for Christmas in the Alps, Chalet Chene is like a present at the foot of the tree. Nestled in the heart of the hamlet of La Mourra, in the iconic ski resort of Val d'Isère, this three-storey high alpine chalet overlooks the snow-covered slopes. We gather here as a family, between the warmth of a fire and the intoxicating mountain cold.
Take the elevator upstairs and run, for the privilege of choosing from the seven magnificent suites. But fear not: each one offers a warmer atmosphere than the last. Once settled in, run a hot bath in one of the freestanding bathtubs in the rooms or enjoy a moment of relaxation in the spa area.

Nothing is more delicious than to find yourself in your chalet in the Hautes-Alpes, after a day of gliding down the mythical Face de Bellevarde. Upon your return, the fire is already crackling in the fireplace and the meal awaits you, steaming, in the dining room. All you have to do is gather around the large banquet table to taste a Savoyard specialty cooked by your private chef.
Chalet Perle, Tignes
Face-to-face with the glacier
Chalet Perle in Tignes
For your home in the Hautes-Alpes, choose an exceptional chalet at the foot of the slopes. Perched on the Grande Motte glacier in Tignes, Chalet Perle is absolutely magnificent. Whether in summer or winter, gather here with family or friends to enjoy the eternal snow.
There is not a minute to lose. Strap on your skis and set off on the slopes. The more daring will follow in the footsteps of an off-piste skiing champion, far from the beaten track. When you have had enough of slaloming in the powder, stop in a mountain restaurant for a hot chocolate… or a glass of champagne, to the sound of the Folie Douce's DJs.

We return to Chalet Perle at nightfall to dive into the bubbling water of the outdoor jacuzzi and admire the black sky dotted with stars. Because aside from winter sports, it is also for the sublime landscapes that one loves holidays in the French Alps.
Ferme Fougère, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains
Summer on a gentle slope
Ferme Fougère in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains
Get away from the crowds and choose Ferme Fougère, our favorite summer chalet in the Alps. Located at the foot of Mont-Blanc and its eternal snows, Ferme Fougère is a paradise lost in the heart of the mountain. From its sunny terrace with a Norwegian hot tub, you have a breathtaking view of the valley.
The days go by slowly with a perfect routine. First, enjoy breakfast alone with the grandiose nature. Then go for a hike or bike ride on the high mountain trails, stopping every now and then to observe a marmot or an edelweiss... Then return to your chalet in the French Alps for a sauna session in the original "cave" of the farm.
The beauty of the landscapes of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains is matched only by its haute cuisine. Here, you can choose between starred restaurants and restaurants listed in the Michelin guide. Our favorite address? La Ferme de Cupelin is nestled just a few steps from the chalet. Or opt for the Promenade au Mont Joly, a gourmet dive into the flavours of the region.
