A Luxury Ski Holiday Experience in Le Chardon Mountain Lodges, Val d’Isère

Nestled in private grounds in Val d’Isère, France, Le Chardon Mountain Lodges is a collection of five beautiful individual Alpine ski chalets. With traditional timber and stone construction, floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular views over the pistes and peaks of the Espace Killy, Le Chardon Mountain Lodges impress from the moment guests step inside.
