CHALET DES LÉGENDES: THE VAL D’ISÈRE CHALET BRINGING A NEW APPROACH TO ALPINE LIVING

Following its debut in the 2025/26 ski season, Chalet des Légendes heads into its second winter in Val d’Isère shortlisted for World’s Best New Ski Chalet 2026 at the World Ski Awards.

Exclusively available for rent through the luxury alpine hospitality operator Consensio Chalets, Chalet des Légendes is situated in the quiet, elevated enclave of Les Balmes, just a short distance from the centre of the resort and a three-minute drive from the Olympique and Solaise gondolas. The expansive 355m² property sleeps eight adults and four children across five ensuite bedrooms, pairing contemporary alpine design with spaces made for the rhythm of a week in the mountains: long ski days, evenings around the fire, time together over dinner and somewhere to switch off afterwards.

A chalet with Val d’Isère at its heart

Rather than following a traditional alpine aesthetic, Chalet des Légendes takes its cues from its surroundings in subtler ways. Natural materials sit alongside sculpted lighting and clean architectural lines, while artwork and portraits pay tribute to French skiing champions who left their mark on Val d’Isère’s sporting history, including Henri Oreiller and Jean-Claude Killy, adding a sense of place and story to the space.

At the centre of the chalet is a double-height living space framed by mountain views, with an open-plan dining area and fully stocked bar creating a natural gathering point. A separate private après-ski bar adds another dimension to evenings at the chalet, offering an informal setting for drinks, music and time together.

Post-ski time, taken seriously

A dedicated wellness area creates a private spa environment within the chalet, giving guests plenty of options for slowing down after a day on the mountain. An indoor swimming pool and lounge chairs sit alongside an indoor hot tub, hammam and massage treatment room, where guests can enjoy personalised massages and treatments for post-ski recovery and relaxation. The wellness space makes it easy to move from the slopes into an afternoon or evening of downtime without leaving the chalet.

Elsewhere, a heated ski room with boot dryers takes care of ski equipment between days on the slopes, while the chalet’s south-facing balconies open onto views of the surrounding mountains.

Made for families and groups

The chalet’s layout has been designed with families and groups in mind. Four double or twin bedrooms are joined by a bunk bedroom with two bunk beds, which can connect with one of the bedrooms to form a family suite.

A more relaxed way to stay

Chalet des Légendes is part of Consensio’s Relaxed Catered Chalet portfolio, offering a lighter approach to catered hospitality. Guests have pre-arrival and in-resort concierge support, a dedicated chalet team, daily housekeeping and a shared in-resort driving service. A private chef takes care of dining on five evenings, as well as daily continental breakfast with a cooked special and afternoon tea, alongside a fully inclusive bar including Perrier-Jouët champagne, premium spirits and French wines.

Getting to Chalet des Légendes

From Geneva Airport, Val d’Isère is approximately a three-hour drive, with private transfers available through Consensio’s concierge team.

Seven-night stays at Chalet des Légendes start from €29,000 for the 2026/27 ski season.
