Meet Chalet L’Atelier’s Returning Staff!
Winter 16/17
Chalet L’Atelier has long been the favourite spot of holidaymakers wanting to make the most of the surrounding mountains. With the new Prodains gondola a short walk away, L’Atelier offers great access to the Portes du Soleil ski area and is our ultimate ‘get up and go’ chalet for people who just can’t get enough of their time on the slopes.
This tradition chalet is a converted carpenter’s workshop, and the cosy alpine space is spread over 4 floors. Boasting 5 en-suite bedrooms, a hot tub, and a comfortable, large open plan kitchen/dining and lounge area, this luxurious chalet is the perfect space to unwind after a long, energetic day on the mountain.
