Chalet Arabella

Arabella is a beautiful detached chalet blending traditional Savoyarde design, antiques and furnishings with modern facilities. We have been operating this wonderful chalet for over 10 years and it is one of our most sought after. Deservedly popular, it enjoys an enviable ski in/out position on the slopes at the foot of Solaise. From the front door a short ski down a gentle blue takes you straight to the village, the nursery slopes and the main lifts of Solaise and Bellevarde. A free local mini bus service operates during the day to connect with the ski bus at Rond Point or you can walk across the slopes to the resort centre in approximately 10 minutes.

It's quite unusual to get space in French chalets, they tend to make the most of small areas, fortunately this isn't the case here, Arabella boasts a spacious living room with a double height ceiling. Plenty of comfortable seating encourages you to relax around the magnificent stone fireplace providing a focal point to enjoy your pre-dinner canapés. The five twin bedrooms all have en- suite facilities and most have access onto one of the many balconies with lovely mountain views.

Relax, your evening starts around 7.30 pm swapping some ski tales and banter over canapes and aperitif followed by a delicious freshly cooked dinner with unlimited house wine until coffee to finish.

Special Diets:

Our Chalet staff always aim to please and create menus everybody likes. If given notice they are happy within reason to adapt their menus to your specific tastes and dietary requests but please do bear in mind that chalets are mostly private houses and do not have vast kitchens or teams of chefs to cope with cooking separate meals for everyone!. We provide a vegetarian alternative for guests that don't eat meat or that evening choice of meat or fish. Please ensure that we know about any dietary requests including gluten or dairy free well in advance of your holiday and we will do our best to assist, but you must be happy to compromise with our chalet menu and accept that we cannot offer a completely alternative menu for you. We encourage you to chat to our chalet staff the week prior to your arrival to run through the menu and to check with regards bringing any items with.
Please note, we cannot provide totally vegan meals or kosher and cannot guarantee a nut free environment.

Children's Supper:

We provide a child friendly supper with two courses of home cooked and nutritious food, at around 6 pm for all children under 12 years. We encourage you to chat to your chalet staff before arrival with regards your children's meals so they know they are on the right track with their menu! if you have sole use of a chalet and you would prefer your children to eat a normal dinner with you at 8 pm there is a £50 upgrade. For those in a shared chalet it is generally expected that under 12s would have the early supper.
