No. 8 CLUB Bellevarde

The entrance to No. 8 CLUB Bellevarde, with steps opposite up onto the Santons piste, is discrete and deceiving. Step inside the modest façade and you lose yourself in a huge chalet that cascades down the mountain side over four floors looking onto forest and mountain stream. The front door opens into the stunning open plan living and dining area, comfortably and elegantly furnished with squashy sofas, log fire, vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling windows boasting spectacular views of forest and mountain. You will feel as though you have opened the door to Dr Who’s Tardis and been transported to Narnia (excuse the mixed metaphors!) There is a large balcony, ideal for soaking up the afternoon sun.

Just over the road behind our other chalets, a green/blue piste leads a few hundred yards down to the Olympique lift area and ski school meeting point from behind the chalet but our driver will drop you there between 8am and 10am if you wish. The ski back to the chalet in the afternoon involves either a red or black piste or short traverse across some unkempt snow fields, or it's just a short walk up the hill back to the chalet from the edge of the main piste. We also offer an afternoon shuttle service back to the chalet between 4pm and 6pm for those finding themselves in La Daille at the end of the day.

We are thrilled to finally share real pictures of this simply stunning chalet. We weren't exagerating when we said our other chalet photography didn't do justice to the grandeur of the bedrooms, the amazing views and the wonderful indoor pool. The plans don’t lie, and the architects amongst you will recognise that the 30 square metres per guest is 20% larger than anything else we operate in the Alps.
