Des Cimes II and its sister chalet, Des Cimes I are perfectly located apartment-style chalets. They sit right on the slopes of Belle Plagne for incredibly easy access to the huge Paradise ski area and some amazing mountain views too..

If you're a couple of families or a small group of friends, you'll love this little home-from-home. It sleeps eight people in four bedrooms and the lounge comfortably seats everyone, but you'll be fighting for the best spot next to the fireplace!

Being an apartment-style chalet complex, you'll have access to the shared wellness facility a couple of times per week. Unwind in the sauna and hot tub or just take it easy in the relaxation area to really unwind. There's a small charge for using the facilities, but this can be paid for locally.

When we say 'on the slopes', we actually mean it. The chalet sits on the Roche De Mio blue run, and to get to the resort centre, it's an easy five minute walk thanks to the covered walkways in Belle Plagne. The equipment hire shop and a good selection of shops and bars are all close by too, so you're guaranteed a convenient stay.

Don’t forget that you get free guiding and coaching throughout the week from fully qualified ski and board instructors.

Designed for confident blue and red-run skiers and snowboarders, they'll show you around the mountain on free guiding sessions, and even offer free coaching sessions to help you become a more confident skier or snowboarder.

There are at least three sessions a week and we guarantee each guest at least two sessions a week. Your hosts will explain how it works when you get there.

Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Start every morning with an extensive continental breakfast, and cooked options on most days. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and free-flowing wine throughout the week, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week leaving you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening.

There's a lovely warm feel to the four bedrooms. Each has beautifully carved furniture and beds with comfy mattresses for a good night's rest. You'll also find luxurious Temple Spa toiletries in each bathroom. A club twin and a club double with a balcony on the ground floor have private facilities (not ensuite) and the remaining two club twins on the top floor share a bathroom.
