Take in panoramic mountain views from this chalet’s outdoor hot tub or sauna cabin

Perched in the sunny hamlet of Le Fornet in Val d’Isère, Chalet Orso is a stunning luxury ski retreat. Its elevated position commands breathtaking, 180-degree panoramic views across the surrounding Tarentaise peaks and down to the charming Old Village below.

The chalet boasts a large, south-facing terrace complete with a fire pit and a Teppanyaki grill for a unique dining experience. At the far end of the terrace lies a traditional Nordic hot tub providing the perfect spot for sipping a glass of bubbles while watching the sunset over the valley. For added indulgence, the outside space also features a snow-blanketed barrel sauna offering luxurious settings for taking in the views.

Heading indoors, the heart of the chalet is its spectacular main living area, which boasts lofted, double-height ceilings that soar to 7.5 metres. Impressive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and perfectly frame the mountain landscape outside.

A warming, open fireplace provides a cosy focal point for relaxation. The open-plan design flows seamlessly into an elegant dining area, served by a sophisticated, semi-professional kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances, that can be discreetly closed off for maximum privacy.

Beyond the main living area, the chalet boasts a fantastic mezzanine level dedicated purely to entertainment. Overlooking the lounge below, this cosy hub is fully equipped for après-ski fun and evening relaxation. It features a small bar, a comfortable lounge area with TV and video games, table football, a dart board, a pinball machine, and even a vintage jukebox with vinyl records. This space is sure to delight guests of all ages.

After a day on the slopes, the chalet’s wellness area is a true haven. Guests can immerse themselves in a mineral-inspired sanctuary featuring a heated swimming pool, a stone-clad, overflowing Jacuzzi, a steam room, and a sauna. For those with energy to burn, a fully equipped fitness room is also available.

Additional luxurious touches include a private wine cellar, a ski room with boot warmers, and a lift serving all main floors.

The chalet accommodates up to 10 adults and three children across five luxurious bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The Master Suite is a particular haven, featuring an ethanol fireplace, a free-standing bathtub, and a private balcony. Ideal for families, there is also a spacious family suite with a king-size bed, plus a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single on top.

Chalet Orso, with its stunning location, extensive spa facilities, and modern yet cosy interiors, is the ideal choice for a luxury ski break in vibrant Val d’Isère.

Nb. For larger groups, Chalet Orso can be booked with its adjoining sister property, Chalet Orca, for up to 27 guests.

About the area

Chalet Orso is situated in the charming hamlet of Le Fornet, the quieter, traditional end of Val d’Isère. Its location strikes the perfect balance: it’s just steps from the Fornet ski lift, offering guests immediate, easy access to the slopes of Val d’Isère and the entire ski domain, while providing a peaceful, private retreat.

Le Fornet itself is a picturesque area, dotted with traditional Savoyard chalets that lend it an authentic alpine charm. This peaceful setting is just minutes away from the lively centre of Val d’Isère.

Val d’Isère, together with Tignes, forms the globally renowned Espace Killy ski area. This extensive region offers over 300 kilometres of interconnected slopes, serviced by nearly 100 lifts. This vast terrain guarantees a diverse and exciting challenge suitable for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, from gentle beginner areas to advanced off-piste powder fields.
