Chalet Cristal 5

"I highly recommend Ski Beat. Our latest trip (9-3-24) to Val d’Isere, was the 6th time we have travelled and stayed with Ski Beat. I think that says something in itself!! Once again the flights (BA) and transfers (Loyet) were faultless. There’s Ski Beat staff at both Gatwick and Lyon to offer help and any advice you may require. The Chalet itself is in a great location, really close to the slopes with bars, restaurants, ski hire, supermarket within a 3-5min walk and the excellent bus into central Val is just across the road (this runs until 2am and should be thought of as part of the lift system as it’s so efficient). The chalet is always being updated and the decor and facilities are excellent. The chalet hosts have always been incredibly friendly, helpful and hard working whilst providing a really well thought out breakfast (including hot options) afternoon teas and 3 course dinners 6 nights of the stay together with unlimited red, white and rose during dinner. We are all meat eaters but I know they provide vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options too. I cannot recommend Ski Beat higher."

Peter stayed in ski Chalet Cristal 5, Val dIsere in March 2024

"We booked a trip with Ski Beat to Val D'Isere. We had an absolutely fantastic experience. The flight and transfers were effortless and we were well informed throughout, such as a short wait for another flight, facilities in the airport, stops on the transfer, and what to expect when we arrived. The Chalet itself was gorgeous, spacious, and in an ideal location minutes from main lifts and ski hire shops, supermarket and bus stop. It was spacious, comfortable and warm with a lovely view and little touches with boardgames etc. We had a lovely welcome, with introductions and a bit more information of what to expect for the week. Our ski passes were waiting for us along with some welcome drinks and some L'Occotaine toiletries. The resort manager, Fergus was extremely helpful and professional, giving us lots of information and helpful tips about the resort, he responded quickly to any communication, and tailored our experience. Our Chalet Host, Ella was so friendly, warm, attentive and adaptive. The food was absolutely delicious and tailored for allergies and taste if needs be. She was super helpful and together they answered every question or request. I would definitely recommend Ski Beat if you are planning a trip to Val D'Isere. We have already booked our 2025 Trip."

"Nestled amidst the majestic peaks of the Alps, the Ski Beat offers an unparalleled experience for those seeking the ultimate combination of luxury, comfort, and adventure. From the moment I stepped foot into the chalet, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The staff, impeccably trained and attentive to every detail, ensured that every aspect of my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The chalet itself was fantastic, with spacious living areas, provided the perfect sanctuary to unwind after a day on the slopes. The true highlight of my stay was the culinary experience. The all-catered service surpassed all expectations, with each meal crafted with precision and artistry. From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners, every dish was a culinary delight, showcasing the finest local and seasonal ingredients. The unlimited wine selection complemented each meal perfectly, adding an extra layer of indulgence to the dining experience. Of course, no ski retreat would be complete without exceptional access to the slopes, and Ski Beat Chalet certainly delivered on this front. In summary, my stay at the Ski Beat Chalet was nothing short of magical. From the accommodation to the impeccable service, every aspect of the experience was designed to exceed expectations. Whether you're an avid skier or simply seeking a luxurious Alpine retreat, this chalet is sure to leave a lasting impression. I cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise in the mountains."

"Thank you to the whole team who made the trip effortless and enjoyable. Special mentions to the Resort Manager, Fergus who was super helpful and professional, answered all our questions, responded quickly to communication and gave us great advice and tips about the resort. Ella, our Chalet host who was very friendly, engaging, informative, adaptive and cooked outstanding meals each day and Grainne who was great fun, thoughtful and also an amazing cook. Thank you Ski Beat, we will be back."

"Fergus the resort manager was super helpful and proactive with our injured skier and had booked airport assistance for the return journey without prompt, which was nice. The skibeat recipes are pretty foolproof and I’ve enjoyed the food every time but our chalet host Kirsty really is an outstanding chef and elevated everything well beyond what it needed to be. Very professional, welcoming and organised. The other hosts in the building were very friendly when they dropped in as well."

Lily stayed in ski Chalet Cristal 5, Val dIsere in March 2024

"Our chalet host, Kirsty, was absolutely brilliant. Great cook, really friendly and professional, and couldn't have been more accommodating. Really helped make a brilliant holiday for all of our party."

Patrick stayed in ski Chalet Cristal 5, Val dIsere in March 2024

"A special mention goes out to two people: 1. Kirsty - the chalet host was amazing. So organised, efficient and friendly. She kept the chalet really clean as well. I can't say enough good things about Kirsty. She was fantastic. 2. Fergus - Resort Manager. He went out of his way to help my husband and I with our luggage upon arrival. I had fractured my shoulder before arrival so had limited use of my left arm. Fergus helped us carry our luggage to the chalet upon arrival at the bus stop nearby and helped us take it back at the end. Thanks Fergus"

Stuart stayed in ski Chalet Cristal 5, Val dIsere in March 2024

"Ella is an absolute gem of a host. She exhibits the rare combination of professionalism, efficiency, friendliness and a wicked sense of humour. She is equally able to get stuck in to the craic or retire into the background as the occasion requires - all the while maintaining an impeccable chalet and providing restaurant quality food - always with a warm and friendly smile. Fergus meanwhile continually and adeptly navigates the line between consummate professional and assertive manager when the occasion demands - and fabulous and entertaining company when the situation allows. They are a credit to Ski Beat and an asset to the business."

Andrew stayed in Chalet Cristal 5 in January 2023

"Mara was a lovely host, always smiling and optimistic. She was accommodating and flexible - she also really didn't want us to have to lift a finger. We couldn't fault our trip with Ski Beat, actually the best ski trip we've had. We had the smoothest transfer both ways, and we really appreciated getting into resort in the afternoon to get our skis and explore the resort."

Sam stayed in Chalet Cristal 5 in January 2023

"Mara was our chalet host and she was brilliant. Friendly, helpful and she worked very hard. Her food was good, the chalet immaculate. She provided an excellent service. Finn who cooked on two nights for us also provided excellent food and was a delight to have around. Can't fault any of the staff."

Kirsty stayed in Chalet Cristal 5 in Dec 2022

"Mara was very hard working and supportive. She was let down by silly ommissions such as forgetting to put salt & pepper or butter on the table at meal times. The white and rose wine was served warm on the first few nights until we put the boxes on the balcony to chill before serving. Very minor oversights because overall she was really good."

Christian stayed in Chalet Cristal 5 in Dec 2022

"Mara, our chalet host, was a superb host. She made excellent food and was particularly very approachable. She took the time to chat and get to know us and created a warm and friendly environment. I was invited to hang out with the ski beat team, so got to meet Alice, Ellie Sophie, Alex, Mara, Tosha. They were all friendly, kind, and we're really interested in getting to know the guests. Tosha particularly helped me with some requests in my sleeping arrangements and didn't question it, and was more than happy to help. Alice was very generous with her time when I interrogated her about her ski seasons experiences, and spoke very highly of the ski beat company. I didn't get a chance to meet Charlie very much but on the final day when he was setting up the Christmas decorations he made polite small talk with my family and made them laugh. Even though they weren't his guests it was nice that we could genuinely tell he was in a good mood and wanted to chat to my parents. "
