Chalet Aquila, Val D'Isere
This is the ideal chalet for six. It occupies much of the top two floors (there are lifts) of the exclusive, recently rebuilt Aquila building. You can see its position from the pictures. It is surrounded on three sides by the nursery slopes, so you really can ski to and from the door, while if you’ve ended the day at La Daille or Le Fornet, the bus stops just outside. The Solaise cable car is 100m one way, the main chairlifts a quick glide the other. The man with yellow legs is passing in front of the four large windows.
This chalet occupies much of the top two floors (there are lifts). The delightful sitting-dining room and three tasteful bedrooms all enjoy a breathtaking view across the nursery slopes towards the church.
Two of the bedrooms are not huge, but they are all beautifully fitted and finished, with good bathrooms and larger-than-average beds.
You really can ski to and from the building. If you’ve ended the day at La Daille or Le Fornet, the bus comes practically to the door, the excellent Snowberry ski shop is in the same building, the chalet has DVDs and WiFi, and we really can’t think of anything else you need to know!

Meals - Chalet Aquila, Val D'Isere
We start with a proper breakfast. Fruit juice, porridge, Dorset cereals, bacon, eggs, baguettes straight from the famous local bakery, a croissant or pain au chocolat if you like, yogurts, British tea and fresh coffee from Italian espresso pots (with Nescafé and bizarre infusions for those who prefer them). A Cooked Breakfast option is also available.
You return from the slopes to find bread and jam, a freshly-baked cake, hot chocolate etc. left out for you.
Nightly canapés are followed by a three-course, fixed-menu, dinner-party-style meal. The cuisine is largely French, though with a fusion of other influences – what Londoners call Modern British. (Foreign, in other words.) With dinner, we serve free unlimited quantities of a selection of very drinkable French AOC wines and vins de pays.
