Had a good holiday here, it’s a big flat with about 5/6 different groups staying here but it’s all quite well spread out across 2 or 3 levels. The chalet is pretty well located with an easy walk to the ski slopes (took us about 5 minutes) and there’s a way out the back which you can ski down to if you’re an... + more

Location - where is Chalet Phoenix

Chalet Phoenix takes pride of place in the centre of Val Thorens in the area of the Balcons Residence. This position offers excellent access to the skiing, just 100 metres (approx.) from the piste. The Plein Sud lift goes straight past the complex and competent skiers can enjoy the convenience of skiing practically to the door in good conditions. For beginners the shuttle bus stops right outside the reception area for access to the other lifts. The shops, lively bars and restaurants of Val Thorens are just a short walk away.

Superb access to ski hire - Less than one minute walk (approx.) to rental shop

Overview - chalet description - Chalet Phoenix description

Except for rising from the snow rather than the ashes, Chalet Phoenix certainly rivals the stature of the magnificent bird it is named after. The dining room is stylish and elegant, in keeping with the quality of finish throughout the whole of the chalet. The large, inviting living area has enough space for all on large comfy sofas and comes complete with a warming stove. Guests in Chalet Phoenix are often found glass in hand on the huge 270º panoramic balcony which has incredible views of the mountains. All the bedrooms have beautifully finished en suite bathrooms as well as the luxury of Jacuzzi baths. Loosen up your ski legs in the chalet’s private sauna or why not indulge in a beauty treatment or two in the residence’s spa (payable locally). The complex also has an infinity pool, gym, on-site bar and terrace.

2300m at the top of the Three Valleys, VT is the highest ski resort in Europe and part of the biggest linked ski area on the planet. While it’s a place for people who above all else, love to ski, you’ll also find some of the country’s best après including the legendary Folie Douce, as well as weird and wonderful activities like the 1300m Tyrolienne zipwire. Olde worlde gallic charm it isn’t, but skiers will wake up to find some of the best snow in the Alps literally on their doorstep, and the views over ...
At the summit of the largest ski area in the world and bordering the Vanoise National Park, this is a spectacular place to ski and board. Beginners are well catered for on nursery slopes by the Rond Point des Pistes, where the magic carpets often don't require a lift pass. Kids will love the Junior Park, while the Musaraigne and Campagnols runs in the beginner’s area and the new Deux Combes green are perfect to practice on. With a bit more confidence, take the Pionniers or Plein Sud chairs for some lovely lon...
The après ski here easily rivals other top resorts in the Alps. If you haven't already had the Folie Douce experience, head just under the Plein Sud lifts where the “dancefloor on top of the world” is heaving from 3pm. Another place to party is Bar 360 at the end of the blue Moraine run, which always has live music and cheaper plonk. Back in town, Rue de Gebroulaz is a hub of lively bars where O’Connells is the local Irish pub and the Frog and Roastbeef is a long-time favourite of Brits (if you can drink the...

"Friendly hosts & new/refurb chalet"

Emily
5/ out of 5
Chalet Phoenix is really good, the place had all been newly refurbished when we stayed here and the facilities were really good with everything being warm, new and clean. The location is nice if you’re quite a good skier as you can ski back, but if you’re a beginner it’s quite a long walk to the lift. Walking into the town is fine and probably took us 10-15 minutes. The dining area and lounge are all nicely done but not very big - the fact that there isn’t much communal area is fine if you’re a couple but there wouldn’t be much room for young children to run around unless you booked the whole place to yourselves. The rooms were fine with really nice bathrooms and pretty good views from the windows and the people who looked after the chalet were really friendly. We had cakes when we got in from skiing and a three course dinner every night.

"Amazing chalet"

Stayed at the Chalet Phoenix, VT in January 2012. The chalet is new build, with a deluxe interior, including a large lounge with TV and DVDs, wrap around balcony with panoramic views of the slopes and open plan dining table. Downstairs there is a large sauna (takes a little time to heat up) and the bedrooms. The bedrooms are the best I've stayed in on ski holidays - comfortable double beds, good size, large wardrobes and bathrooms with soothing jacuzzi baths and shower. Two hosts and one chef live across the hall and were accommodating to our every need - top drawer food. There are secure ski lockers and you can ski out of the chalet if you have some experience. VT had great snow for the week and some brilliant runs. On a local area pass you can access the 4th valley - Orelle - a hidden gem. For the more advanced get a full area pass and head over to Meribel and Courcheval. Would definitely go back!

"Well located"

Had a good holiday here, it’s a big flat with about 5/6 different groups staying here but it’s all quite well spread out across 2 or 3 levels. The chalet is pretty well located with an easy walk to the ski slopes (took us about 5 minutes) and there’s a way out the back which you can ski down to if you’re an intermediate skier. If you want you can also get the bus. It’s probably not a brilliant place for families with young kids as the noise would echo around the chalet; when we stayed here it was only adults.

"Near the Plein Sud & great for chilling"

Sno man, Sno Staff

The majestic nature and beauty of the Phoenix is matched equally in this stunning chalet, built under the lift of the Plein Sud, making it practically ski-in when the snow & weather conditions are hold up. This also means that getting on the lift and to the village centre is nothing more than a short 5 minute walk from your front door. Also worth noting, guests have enjoyed the luxury facilities, including fitness and relaxation treatments from within the chalet (check if they are available on your dates "before booking"). It's often the perfect way to finish the day, lounging on the balcony with a beer in your hand (when we last went there was an in-house bar).
