Après-ski: sauna or fireplace?

Sometimes, choosing where to stay comes down to a single ritual: returning to a crackling fire or making time for the sauna. Here, each floor has a character of its own.

The fireplace at Chalet Isard

On the upper floor, the fireplace sets the tone for the stay. It is there for returning from a walk, lingering over meals and evenings when everyone would rather stay together.

Along with the south-facing terrace and mountain views, it creates a classic, welcoming retreat for six guests.

The sauna at Chalet des Loups

On the garden level, the private sauna offers another way to slow down. The garden and projector complete a home designed for unwinding and comfortable evenings.

This independent floor also accommodates six guests, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Why choose when there are twelve of you?

When you book Grand Chalet Isard for your exclusive use, the group can enjoy both atmospheres. Everyone can move between floors, gather around the fire or take some time out in the sauna.

That is the main benefit of this layout: bringing twelve people together without requiring everyone to enjoy the stay in the same way.
