Chalet Gentiane has been built to our specifications and finished to a high standard. The entrance to the chalet is on the first floor with two bedrooms on this level and another four on the level below together with a sauna. All bedrooms have full en-suite facilities.
The open plan dining area and lounge are located on the top floor with seating around a glass-fronted log burning stove. Balconies on two sides provide stunning views across the valley towards Montchavin in la Plagne and the Vanoise express which links to the two resorts.
Your chalet hosts live out. Rooms 1, 2 and 6 can take a cot
The chalet is just 50m from the piste which gives access to the 6-seater chairlift out of the village; the Vanoise Express for skiing in la Plagne and the ski school meeting point. At the end of the day you can ski back to the same spot.

"We stayed in Chalet Gentiane, Plan Peisey, Les Arcs. Our host, Melissa, was an absolute diamond. She was professional, polite & also fun. Gold Star. However, we did feel that for a 13 person chalet we would expect two hosts to share the work. Having said that, Melissa didn't fail in any of her duties but we could see how much hard work it was for her."
