In the midst of one of the most magnificent ski areas in the French Alps, Airelles Val d’Isère promises a stay combining authenticity and exclusiveness.

At the heart of Savoy, on the edge of the National Park of La Vanoise, Airelles Val d’Isère melts elegantly into the scenery thanks to architecture typical of Savoy. Facing the snow front, not far from the ski-lifts, this majestic mountain chalet built of timber and stone stands at the foot of the slopes. Leaving Airelles Val d’Isère and returning on skis or a snowboard has never been easier or more enjoyable! The luxurious Bernard Orcel Ski-Room and its bespoke services (heated shoes, daily maintenance of equipment, hot drinks and sugary treats etc.) will make your days in the snow
simply exceptional. Shopping addicts will be enchanted to discover the new Vanille & Lilas boutique, where a thousand-and-one designer gems await them for a chic and trendy winter!

With its refined atmosphere and meticulously designed decor, Airelles Val d’Isère plunges its guests into a world oblivious to passing time. Thanks to the welcome of porters and car valets dressed in costumes of “Chasseurs Alpins”, total immersion engulfs you right from the start. Christophe Tollemer, the hotel’s architect-decorator, has unfurled all his talent, accompanied by art historian Emmanuelle Vidal-Delagneau. Hundreds of antiques, engravings, furniture and woodwork unearthed in dealers’ shops adorn this splendid Alpine residence. The same goes for the Guerlain Spa which seems to have been hollowed out of the rock. This setting offering remarkable architecture is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful mountain spas, with stone arches, a vaulted ceiling with wide timber beams, and a sumptuous 20-meter swimming pool.

The hotel’s 41 Rooms and Suites, most enjoying views of the Alpine peaks, are particularly enticing for their noble materials and prestigious furnishings. As witnessed by solid wood doors, Louis XIII armchairs, red floor tiles and oakwood parquet floors. Five private apartments with one to four bedrooms, designed in loft style, complete the accommodation on the 5th and top floor. Sleeping up to eight guests, the Montmayeur Apartment is ideal for quality time with family or friends. The sumptuous backto- back fireplace and panoramic terrace of this penthouse of 200 sq.m will fulfil the most luxurious desires. At Airelles Val d’Isère, everything has been designed down to the very last detail to offer a stay meeting your expectations, and beyond.

As vast as the Alpine environment and the ski resort of Les 3 Vallées, the experience of a stay at Les Airelles knows no bounds.

Who has never dreamt of getting behind the wheel of a snow groomer, this machine essential for preparing the slopes? Something offered by the Airelles’ “Monster Dameur” experience. Discover how the snow is cajoled, roaming around the Courchevel slopes when the resort is closed, at the wheel of a snowcat, just like a professional. Smoothing, hollowing, creating humps… Explore the ski domain from a totally different perspective! One-of-a-kind thrills for a rare experience.

An outing in the Airelles’ iconic horse-drawn Hermès carriage is one of the privileges that comes with each stay in the Snow covered Kingdom. Head for the village of Courchevel and ride
through its narrow streets at a leisurely horse-driven pace, as if in a fairtytale. Comfortably installed, cosily wrapped in a cashmere blanket, both young and old alike are in Wonderland…

How about a picnic on the slopes? Les Airelles takes care of everything with a generous basket concocted to suit your taste by Chef Marco Garfagnini. Enjoy a well-deserved break in the great outdoors and boost your strength before setting off again on the ski-runs. On the menu: simple recipes, tasty, local and seasonal, for a memorable lunch surrounded by the mountains.

Restored with the deepest respect for its past, Le Grand Contrôle offers guests a trip back in time to the era of the Kings of France, at the heart of the Château de Versailles.

Built in 1681 by Louis XIV’s favourite architect, Le Grand Contrôle once played host to members of Europe’s political and cultural elite. Today, it welcomes a few privileged guests in 11 sumptuous Rooms and two Signature Suites, decorated individually in 18th-century style thanks to the expertise of France’s finest craftsmen. To tell the tale of this exceptional building and bring it back to life as authentically as possible, Christophe Tollemer, architect and interior decorator for Airelles Collection, delved into the archives of Le Grand Contrôle, focusing in particular on the year 1788, the date of its last inventory. He worked hand-in-hand with Emmanuelle Vidal-Delagneau, a specialist in heritage and the art market, and a member of the Commission for National Treasures, to compose the collection of furniture, art and objects from the 17th and 18th centuries which adorn the residence.

Marquis de Fouquet, Madame de Staël, Rose Bertin… Each Room and Suite at Le Grand Contrôle bears the name of a well-known personality of the day. While offering every modern comfort, they plunge guests into the heart of history thanks to their furnishings, chandeliers, artworks and fabrics. Some are genuine antiques, others faithful reproductions. Some of the upholstery fabrics, curtains or mural drapes have been specially recreated by La Maison Pierre Frey, based on original sketches in the archives of the Château de Versailles, giving each Room or Suite its own identity. The lighting (chandeliers, wall lights and lanterns) has also been designed in the spirit of the 18th century by Mathieu Lustrerie, already entrusted with the lighting in the Château de Versailles.

Perched at an altitude of 1850 m in the Massif de la Vanoise, Val d’Isère is both a typical Savoyard village and a ski resort of world renown.

At the top of La Haute-Tarentaise, at the crossroads of L’Isère and the valley of Le Manchet, the village of Val d’Isère has preserved all its former charm with an 11th-century baroque church, stone and timber chalets with slate roofs. It is also a resort much appreciated for its après-ski. Strolling along its magnificent central street lined with boutiques and restaurants at nightfall, while admiring the illuminated Face de Bellevarde, is quite simply magical.

With a drop of 960 m, this mind-blowing black slope reserved for well-seasoned skiers is one of the most legendary in the Alps. Dreamt up by France’s triple Olympic champion Jean Claude Killy and designed by Bernhard Russi of Switzerland, La Face de Bellevarde has already hosted trials for the Alpine Ski World Cup, but also the World Championships and Olympic Games! Skiing down this run early in the morning on immaculate snow is totally priceless.

The first national park created in France in 1963, this natural site offers the loveliest panoramic views of Val d’Isère. Its hundreds of kilometers of signposted trails, its fauna and flora, and Le Grand Casse peaking at an altitude of 3855 m, make it a favourite playground among hikers. In winter, it offers grandiose scenery resembling the Far North, to be explored on a snowshoe excursion. You will also certainly get the chance to encounter ibexes, chamois and marmots.

On the other side of Bellevarde, at the top of the Mont Blanc chairlift, at an altitude of 2500 m, the Val d’Isère snowpark proposes a wide variety of modules dedicated to both beginners and experts. They include 25 skiing lines, 3 boardercrosses and as many opportunities to try new figures. On skis or a snowboard, freestyle sensations are yours for the taking!

This winter, learn all about ice floating in the crystalline waters of the lake of L’Ouillette. A mind-blowing activity imported from Scandinavian countries, in which you float in sensorial insulation. Wearing an all-over, waterproof Neoprene suit, you simply step into the water, contemplate the sky and the surrounding mountains and, finally, let go. A one-off experience, amazing, but above all soothing.

A stay at Le Grand Contrôle is enhanced by exclusive tours of the Château de Versailles outside opening hours for the public. Accompanied by a private guide, you will discover in total privacy the magnificent Domaine de Trianon, the famous Hall of Mirrors, the “Grands Appartements”, even the “Cabinets” of Marie-Antoinette. You can also explore the estate’s gardens and copses in an electric golf-cart, at your own pace. You will thus benefit from the Domaine in complete freedom.

Les Airelles invites you to enjoy a very special getaway. In the midst of the Jardin Alpin, at the foot of the slopes of Courchevel 1850, this residence rather like a 19th-C.

Just like back home, the fire crackling in the hearth invites you to share rare and memorable moments.

Created in 1955 by Polish pastry-maker Alexandre Micka, this soft brioche tart with an inner layer of irresistible cream and sprinkled with sugar is one of the symbols of the Saint-Tropez lifestyle.

According to legend, Saint-Tropez owes its name to the knight Torpes. Refusing to recant his Christian faith, this Roman centurion from the court of Emperor Nero was executed, his body thrown into a rowing boat which drifted as far as the Saint-Tropez shore.

Airelles Val d’Isère welcomes you to a comfortable, warm atmosphere typical of mountain chalets with its 41 Rooms and Suites plus 5 private apartments designed by architect Christophe Tollemer who works on all the Maisons Airelles.
