Chalet Hotel Ducs de Savoie

Accommodation

The lounge/bar is on the ground floor and is an ideal spot for swapping stories of the day's adventures with apéritifs and canapés, before moving on to the dining-room to enjoy dinner, selected from the Culinary Choice menu, in the attractive dining-room.

Esprit's dedicated Nursery is situated on the fifth floor and offers spacious play areas as well as a quiet sleep room. Snow Club has its own room, on the lower ground floor, for all its indoor fun.

The staff provide a hot and cold buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and adult-only Culinary Choice evening meals, whilst the Baby-Listening/Child-Patrol, running until 11pm, allows parents to relax in good company over coffee and liqueurs after dining. Children's high tea is served at 5.30pm and supervised by the staff until 6pm.

There is a range of comfortable family rooms, so that between the choice of twins, triples, family rooms and suites, sleeping accommodation for all family sizes is available, whether you are two parents and an infant or a larger family of six. The third bed in the triple rooms is similar to a top bunk but with a wardrobe beneath, and is situated in the entrance hallway of the room. All bedrooms have flatscreen TV/DVD (with UK channels) so bring your favourite DVDs.

Dining

Includes a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 4- or 5-course evening meals with wine and coffee to complete the evening six days a week.

Esprit Ski set high standards for their cuisine, and train their staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that guests will enjoy every meal with them.

Location

The Ducs de Savoie is perfectly situated right in the very heart of Val d'Isère, yet conveniently set back from the main busy thoroughfares. A mere stone's throw from the village centre, the hotel nestles in a side street close to the pedestrianised area and affords easy access to the centre, the main ski-lifts, the children's nursery ski area and all the resort facilities.

Ski Area Access 
What a pleasure it is to be staying at the Ducs de Savoie, and have only a mere 350m stroll to the choice of Val d'Isère's three main high-speed lifts to whisk you up into the very heart of the skiing.
The Solaise Express chairlift goes straight to the Solaise peak at 2,560m, from where a choice of lifts and runs fans out, including the connections across to the Le Fornet area and the superb snow of the Pissaillas Glacier.

Alternatively, choose either the Bellevarde Express chair or the Olympique gondola to access the Rocher de Bellevarde, with its long cruising runs down to La Daille, and the connections across the Tovière ridge to the wonders of Tignes.

The children's ski area and adult nursery slopes are also situated in the same base area as the above three lifts, so are equally convenient for guests.

Yet more options are offered by the resort's excellent free skibus, which stops just 30m from the Ducs de Savoie, to take you to Le Fornet or La Daille for an alternative starting point.

At the end of your ski day, pistes from both the Bellevarde and the Solaise sides of the valley run back to the same base area, giving you the choice of the short walk back to the Ducs de Savoie, or Val d'Isère's wonderful selection of inviting cafés and bars for a relaxing après ski drink.
