Exceptional
Chalets

Staffed chalets in the Three Valleys and the great Savoyard resorts, selected one by one and run by the team that runs our Riviera houses.

The Opera Prestige approach

Two seasons,
one standard

We know these chalets the way we know our Riviera villas — by having stood in them. Every property is visited before it enters the collection, and the same advisor follows you from the first enquiry to the last transfer. Summer on the coast, winter in the mountains: one contact, one standard.

Visited, not listed

Every chalet in this collection has been seen by our team. What is written on the page is what you will find at the door — including the real distance to the piste.

One single quote

The chalet rate covers the rental of the property. Chef, chalet manager, housekeeping, driver, lift passes and transfers are priced alongside it — and you receive the whole of it as one figure.

Discretion

No property is published without the owner's agreement, and part of what we place each winter never appears on this page at all.

Summer and winter

The same advisor who arranges your chalet in February arranges your villa and your yacht in August. One relationship, two seasons.

Winter concierge

A season arranged
before you arrive

Passes collected, equipment fitted at the chalet, instructors and off-piste guides booked, transfers timed to your flight, a table held where tables are not held. The chalet is the easy part.

Questions

Everything you need
to know

How much does it cost to rent a luxury chalet in the French Alps?
Across the Three Valleys market, a week in a staffed luxury chalet runs from €20,000 to €45,000 in low season, €45,000 to €90,000 over February half-term, €55,000 to €110,000 at Christmas, and €70,000 to well beyond €150,000 over New Year. Courchevel 1850 trades thirty to fifty percent above Meribel at equivalent standard. These are market benchmarks: our advisors quote on your exact dates.
What is included in a chalet rental?
The rate quoted for a chalet covers the rental of the property itself, and only that. Staffing — chalet manager, daily housekeeping, private chef, driver — along with lift passes, instructors, equipment hire and airport transfers is arranged by our team and priced separately. You receive the whole of it in a single quote before anything is committed.
How far in advance should I book for Christmas or February?
Christmas and New Year weeks in Courchevel, Méribel and Val d'Isère are usually committed between August and October — many of the best chalets never reach the open market. February school holidays follow, generally between October and December. If you are reading this in autumn for the coming winter, the shortlist is already narrowing.
What does ski-in / ski-out actually mean?
True ski-in / ski-out means you clip in at the door and ski back to it at the end of the day, without a shuttle or a walk in ski boots. The term is used loosely across the market — a chalet advertised as ski-in / ski-out can sit 300 metres from the nearest piste. Each of our listings states the real distance.
How do we reach the resort?
Geneva is the usual gateway, between two and three hours by road to the Tarentaise resorts. Chambéry is closer but served by fewer flights, and Lyon works well from southern Europe. Private aviation lands at Chambéry, Grenoble or Annecy, and Courchevel has its own altiport. We arrange transfers, helicopter legs and, where relevant, the drive from a Riviera departure.
Can you arrange a private chef, instructors and childcare?
Yes. A private chef is standard in most of our chalets. Private instructors, off-piste guides, nannies, ski nannies and in-chalet massage are arranged ahead of arrival — the good ones are booked as early as the chalets themselves, particularly over the holiday weeks.
