There are only a handful of detached chalets in Val Thorens, and this super property is certainly one of the very best. The building is divided into two chalets - Olivia and Catherine - which are run and catered separately, but share the bonus of the sauna on the ground floor.

Chalet Olivier could not be more central. Skiing is literally to and from the door, as the chalet is located close to the nursery slopes in the centre of the resort.

All the bedrooms have private en suite facilities and many also have balconies or terraces to soak up the sun, and enjoy the breathtaking views.

All of the bedrooms are on the second floor, and at the very top of the chalet is an open-plan living and dining area with a cosy central fireplace. During afternoon tea on the sun terrace, you can enjoy watching the last skiers carve their way past the chalet on their final home run. This chalet comes highly recommended for its en suite facilities, magnificent views and especially for its unbeatably convenient location.
