The location of this chalet is what all skiers dream of, and the perfect spot for your catered chalet ski weekend.

Chalet Poudreuse is very comfortably furnished with incredible panoramic views from the dining area. It is a standalone traditional chalet, presented in a modern, open, light, Alpine style, ideal for your chalet holiday.

Staying at Chalet Poudreuse will allow you the opportunity to genuinely ski to and from the door, enjoy après-ski bars on the doorstep and it's just minutes away from the traffic-free resort centre, where there are shops, cafés and the brilliant Aquariaz water park. A ski school meeting point is just meters away. Early booking is recommended to secure your dates of choice, as this chalet is in very high demand.

During the evening the area around the chalet becomes calm and quiet apart from the jingling bells of the horse sleighs trotting past. The neighbouring bars close by 6.30pm daily, ensuring a relaxing evening in the chalet.

Chalet Poudreuse has 6 good-sized en-suite bedrooms over two floors, each one with a shower and one room has a bath to soak in too. Five rooms have twin beds that can be made up as doubles; please request at booking. One room has a twin/double bed and a bunk bed (suitable for smaller adults). All rooms have smart TV’s with usb ports. The first floor is a spacious, vaulted, living area. With an open-plan kitchen-diner and lounge area with a flatscreen smart TV with usb port (use your own account or device and cable), DVD player and music system, fireplace (modern log burner) and a balcony boasting panoramic views of the slopes and stunning sunsets. The chalet has a ski room with boot warmers too. To help relax and revive for a great day skiing there is a sauna on the lower ground floor, the bedrooms on this floor have natural light and ventilation but no view.

A snowcat resort taxi on arrival and departure in Avoriaz is included. This is a fun ride in a piste basher style vehicle, saving a 5 minute walk across snow from the Avoriaz Welcome Station (airport transfer drop-off point and car park) to the chalet door, or you can take a magical horse and sleigh resort taxi (payable locally).

Chalet Poudreuse is a catered chalet with our VIP chalet board which consists of a continental and full English cooked breakfast, delicious afternoon tea and cake and a 4-course evening meal with superior bottled wine included, all provided by your friendly chalet host who lives out. Please note our chalet staff have 2 days off a week, a Wednesday and a Saturday. On these days they will leave continental only breakfast and afternoon tea out for you, but the evening meal is not provided, which gives you an opportunity to dine out in the resort, where there are plenty of lovely local restaurants, not to mention an excellent choice of bars and shops.

Meals in Chalet Poudreuse, Avoriaz

The VIP category chalets are that bit more special, that bit more comfortable and offer extra service. Each of our VIP chalets are selected because of their individual, Alpine-chic interior. Every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. Most of the chalets also have a sauna, for you to relax and unwind after a hard day on the slopes. Start your day with a full cooked breakfast. On your first evening you can relax and socialise with fellow guests over a welcome aperitif and canapes, in front of the fire. Your host will prepare and serve a delicious four course meal and to indulge you further we'll tempt you with a selection of local cheese and port as part of your fourth course. Handpicked bottled wine from an expertly selected collection flows freely from half an hour before dinner and your host will always leave you with some extra for the rest of the evening. You'll also find bath robes for your extra comfort in our VIP chalets. Your hosts days off are Wednesday and Saturday giving you the chance to sample one of the many restaurants on offer in your resort. To ensure you can ski on your travel days before/after room checkout, there is always a place to change and a place to store your luggage throughout the day.
