Chalet d’Élé

Chalet d’Élé is not your typical alpine retreat. While wooden furniture is a staple, here it’s custom-made, meticulously designed by Chalets Bayrou. The color palette—taupe, gray, beige, and white—reflects the serene beauty of the surrounding landscapes, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. “To give the classic mountain decor a bit of a rock ‘n roll twist, we’ve added photography by Claude Gassian throughout the house.”

As a result, Mick Jagger presides over the fireplace, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg add charm to the living room, and Daft Punk makes a surprise appearance around a hallway corner. If a guest falls in love with any of these iconic prints, they can order one as a unique and memorable vacation keepsake—certainly more distinctive than the usual sausages and chestnut creams!

Perfectly nestled between the village and the ski area, you can forget about the car during your stay at Chalet d’Élé. Here, even the slopes are just a short walk away!

Serre Chevalier’s stats are impressive: over 2,230 hours of sunshine a year, 80 ski runs, 60 lifts, and 80% of the slopes at an altitude above 2,000 meters. In winter, snow activities take center stage—skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and snowkiting—but that’s just the start. You can also try paragliding, visit the Grands Bains du Monêtier, or go ice skating. The holidays fly by in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere.

And in the summer? The fun continues with hiking, mountain biking, or tackling the Via Ferrata for a thrilling adventure. You can also swim or fish in the lakes. Whether it’s January or July, windy or snowing, the mountains offer endless activities to enjoy year-round!

A stay at Chalet d’Élé guarantees premium services, ensuring you can enjoy the mountains without any of the usual hassles. Expect a private shuttle ready to whisk you to and from the slopes whenever you wish, breakfast, afternoon tea, meal delivery, or even a private chef. Daily housekeeping, ski equipment rental (delivered right to the chalet), and babysitting services are all part of the package.

This luxurious retreat is perfectly equipped with everything you could want: a pool, sauna, cinema room, and a kitchen where aspiring chefs will find inspiration. The dining table—four meters long—offers the perfect setting for grand meals.

After a day on the slopes, everyone can unwind with their own activities before gathering for a feast by the crackling fireplace. This is the good life at Chalet d’Élé!
