Valmeinier 1500 · Hamlet of la Torrélière
Chalet Cristal welcomes you to the heart of the French Alps, 600 m from the Galibier-Thabor slopes. 145 m², sleeping up to 12, with sweeping mountain views.
Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of la Torrélière, in Valmeinier 1500, Chalet Cristal combines weathered timber, local stone and warm Savoyard interiors. A proper retreat to come home to after a day on the slopes or on the trails.
145 m² of living space: a bright sitting and dining room with a big farmhouse table, alpine bench seating and clear views of the peaks. At bedtime, four bedrooms and a bunk room served by two shower rooms, with three queen-size beds, one 140×190 double bunk and six single beds. We cap bookings at 12 people, so everyone keeps their elbow room, in winter as much as in summer.
All you need for a relaxed stay, with nothing to organise.
All the appliances you need and a large table for meals together.
The cosy feel of a real chalet, by the fire after a day of skiing.

Outdoor space to catch the sun and take in the mountain panorama.
