Heli-Skiing
Because Italy is right next door, heli-skiing from the chalet is a must. We’re located near three different heli-ski bases which access more than 40 descents. Our guides are local experts, and the runs average 1,000 meters. This activity is an additional fee.
Ski Touring
The Tarentaise Valley offers diverse ski touring options, from forest routes and high alpine climbs to easier tours suitable for first time ski tourers. Your private guide will find appropriate terrain for each guest’s level and expectations. This activity is included with your stay; however, some elements of your specific itinerary may incur an additional fee.
Off-Piste Skiing
Head to the nearby resorts and hop on a ski lift to access backcountry routes like the forests of Sainte Foy, glacier runs in Tignes, and The Lost Valley in Val d’Isère. Our guides will take you to the right spots based on your skill level. This activity is included in your stay.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoe into the wilderness directly from the chalet, or head out from one of the local ski resorts where you can utilize the ski lift to quickly gain elevation. Options are plentiful, including easy 30-minute walks, full-day hikes, and challenging 1,200-meter climbs. This activity is included in your stay.
Tarentaise Vallée Blanche Tour
Take on the ultimate ski safari. From the Tarentaise Valley, head toward Italy to ski 15 kilometers from the top of the Pointe Helbronner cable car, across the glacier of the legendary “Vallée Blanche,” and all the way to Chamonix. After skiing in the heart of Mont Blanc massif, end the day with a heli-flight above the Mont Blanc summit and finally land back at the chalet. This activity is an additional fee.
