High Altitude

23 Formerly a cable car station, this newly opened, Alpine retreat is now the highest hotel in France. At 2,551m, it offers exceptional mountain views from the bedrooms, apartments and open-plan dining areas, direct access to the ski domaine and a spa with a 25m indoor swimming pool. High above the ski resort of Val d’Isère there is no road access to the hotel during the winter months. Guests and staff take the Solaise bubble lift up the mountain instead. Be warned - once the lift stops running you are there for the night, but you will be the first on the slope in the morning - definitely for ski hounds! Le Refuge de Solaise Val d'Isère, Rhône-Alpes Consensio’s Ultimate Catered Chalets are recognised as the best luxury ski chalets in Val D’Isere. Each chalet is unique in design, fitted with the latest state-of-the-art technology and is staffed with a large private team including a private chef, chalet manager, hosts, in-resort private chauffeur and, in Chalet Marco Polo, a spa manager. This award-winning management company has three tremendous, ‘Ultimate’ category chalets in Val D’Isere - Chalet Marco Polo (voted in the top 3 chalets in the world), Chalet Lhotse and Chalet Le Rocher - each catering for up to 14 guests.
