Location - where is Chalet Cristal 2

Chalet Cristal has a superb location, situated away from the main road in Val dIsère (1800m). It is only 150m from the La Daille telecabine, the Etroits chairlift, and the "Funival" a high speed funicular that carries skiers to the top of Bellevarde (2800m) in just a few minutes. From there is a huge choice of pistes including easy access to Tignes. You can ski back to within about 150m from the chalet, the same point as the Val d'Isère World Cup Downhill finish.

The centre of Val d'Isère is a short walk from Chalet Cristal 2. Alternatively you can use the free bus service that operates around Val d'Isère throughout the day and continues until 2am. The nearest bus stop to Chalet Cristal is only 100m away for the short ride to the centre of town.

Ski never-ending pistes and powder, ogle at colossal peaks and cosy Savoie architecture, then end the day with some of the world's most wild and wonderful après ski. Val d'Isere is considered by many to be the best ski resort on earth, and we’re inclined to agree.

In France's Rhone Alp region, Val d'Isere (pronounced: val de saire/sare/ser or val d sere) is widely thought of as one of the most brilliant and beautiful ski areas in the world. In keeping with the giddyingly gorgeous surroundings, the resort itself is one of France's prettiest - a huddle alpine hamlets formed from cosy wood and stone chalets. With the original village dating back to the 13th century and a Christmas-card-worthy church steeple at its centre, there’s alpine charm by the bucket load. While dre...
Skiers in Val d'Isere are schussing in the tracks of some of the world's greatest skiers. Olympic medallists Marielle and Christine Goitschel learned to ski here, not to mention triple gold winner Jean-Claude Killy, after whom the wider ski area is named. As an indication of this place's premier status - the resort has hosted championships including the 1992 Olympics, the World Alpine Ski Championships in 2009 and World Cup events every December. If some of the best skiers in history have learned here, begi...
Famed for its après ski, there's no chance of a dull evening in Val. Living up to its name, you'll experience ‘sweet madness' at the original Le Folie Douce, which brings you some of the best après ski in Europe - including dancers, musicians, raining champagne and much more... Once that closes, Dicks T Bar's a local legend, staying open into the early hours each night. Bananas is another firm favourite, much loved for its crafty cocktails and slope-side location. In Val d'Isere's 90-something restaurants, ...

"Very good"

Richard N., York
5/ out of 5
This is a pretty “no frills” kind of chalet, but that’s what we expected. The food was good, though we had small children with us and some if it was a bit refined for our kids – in the end we asked the host to stop bothering with starters in the evening so as not to waste food. It might be worth looking into whether kids really need all the courses after having cakes earlier on. The location wasn’t perfect as the kids had lessons up in Val d’Isere rather than La Daille – it wasn’t necessarily the end of the world, just a bit of hassle to have to get the bus up. In that context the lessons started at 9 and breakfast was served at 8, so it was a bit of a rush in the morning to get everyone ready in time. But overall, it ticked all the boxes and we had a good week.

First time in a chalet.. and what a benchmark.. Superb! A truly great ski holiday experience and would definitely use this chalet company again... already looking for next year. A really well organised company with exceptional staff and the best accommodation we have stayed in yet. Good size, comfortable bedrooms with ample storage, with all rooms having en-suite. The food was varied and catered for all needs (which in our group there were more than average dietary requirements - which were met with no fuss or bother). It's in the detail and they have got it absolutely right.
