brilliant staff, comfortable double beds, plush yet rustic
Reviewed 12 Aug 2014
Le Chardon’s brilliant staff topped up our glasses, gave us endless amounts on resort advice and made us feel amazingly relaxed and welcome, before showing us our rooms.
Each of the suites at Le Chardon is plush yet rustic, with wooden beams and floors, comfortable double beds, baskets of beauty products and private outside space ...

Access to the L’Espace Killy ski area couldn’t be easier
Reviewed 12 Aug 2014
"... The moment you enter the warm glow of a traditionally built chalet with 100-year-old Savoyard wood beams, open fires and floor-to-ceiling views of a snow-covered valley, an unobtrusive army of concierges, hosts and chefs are on hand to furnish every possible essential for a moneyed ski retreat.
With rituals including a bespoke breakfast, lavish afternoon tea, pre-dinner Champagne and canapes before an extravagant evening meal, you might forget you’re in Val d’Isère to ski at all — and that’s before even contemplating the 18ft-long outdoor swim spa, the sauna and wellness area, or the private cinema and entertainment rooms.
But with an in-chalet fitting service and chauffeur, access to the vast L’Espace Killy ski area couldn’t be easier. The combined ski slopes of Val d’Isère and Tignes offer some of the most snow-sure terrain in the Alps, and the stats alone show why fans are so devoted — 187 miles of piste plus 24,710 acres of off-piste, two glaciers, a vertical drop of 6,330ft, 156 runs and nearly 100 lifts that can transport more than 135,000 skiers in an hour. Many of the seemingly leisurely blues and reds are ridiculously steep, narrow and bumpy (in other resorts, they’d undoubtedly be upgraded in terms of difficulty). This perhaps explains why Val d’Isère is considered one of the world’s best resorts for experts, even with its relatively small number of blacks.
But perhaps the biggest motivator to survive the countless hairpin bends and lightening-slick drops is the knowledge that no matter how cold, tired and shot you might be, a soothing massage and vat of bubbly is waiting down at the chalet."

Spectacular top-floor living room
Reviewed 24 Jun 2014
“... uninterrupted views up the Manchet valley, with windows and terraces configured to make the most of them. Le Chardon has a giant terrace, with an 18ft “swim spa” and outdoor sofas; its top-floor living room, too, is spectacular.”
