Magnificent Chalet Shiva sleeps up to 14 adults and 1 child in seven stunning en suite bedrooms and a children’s room. It is located in Le Crêt - a small traditional hamlet of Val d'Isère, nestled into the hillside, surrounded by beautiful mountains and offering spectacular views over Val d'Isère itself. The ski lifts, all the shops and bustling centre are only a three-minute drive away but this quiet nook hosts traditional farmhouses that have been converted and filled with absolute luxury - for the best mountain holiday experience possible.
Having been renovated only a few years ago, the pivotal focus here was bringing out traditional and natural materials such as metal, stone, wood with leather and wool on the fabric side - and offsetting them with some fantastic contemporary appliances. You can find quite a few traditional and local objects such as old cider press, now reincarnated as a coffee table or wonderful Beaufort cheese casings, now serving as low hanging, dining area lights. You will gasp upon entering the main living floor. The focal point here is the double height of its sofa area, supported by enormous windows with some fantastic views. The views of the peaks are magnified by the chalet’s extra elevated location - absolutely spectacular.
There is more than enough relaxing space for everyone on huge and comfortable sofas, the dining table seating fourteen is nearby alongside an impressive bar - perfect spaces for pre dinner aperitif. Unless you would like to take it to the hot tub, also on this floor, via balconies. Best views just before dinner? Perfect. Anyone missing cinematic experience? A sound-proof cinema room is also here, complete with tiered seating - just like the real thing. Up from here, on the mezzanine - there are two fantastic bedrooms, both en suite, a snug reading corner as well as games area with two comfy leather armchairs. Down one floor from the living area, you will find further four bedrooms, one with a children's annex, all en suite and all decorated impeccably. A floor below houses one more bedroom which could potentially be the most fought for, since it shares the floor with a stunning indoor swimming pool with a waterfall and counter current system, hammam, massage area, and a gym.

Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet ShivaVal d’Isere is one of the most famous ski destinations in the world. This alpine playground in the heart of the French Alps offers some of the best skiing in the world. It is also one of the highest and most snow-sure resorts in the French Alps, sitting at an altitude of 1850m and offering quick access to numerous glaciers, some of which are even open for summer skiing. The resort has an enviable snow record and can be relied on to provide world-class skiing from the end of November through to the beginning of May. The ski terrain on offer is incredibly varied and, combined with the neighbouring resort of Tignes, makes up the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area which ranks among the largest ski areas in the world, with over 300km of pistes.
The resort itself is a combination of sophisticated and modern with historic (with a charming 17th century church at its heart) and enjoys a spectacular natural setting, at the bottom of a steep valley and flanked by dramatic cliffs and the lovely Lac du Chevril at its entrance. As well as being a skier's paradise, Val d'Isère has plenty to offer for non-skiers. Several of the ski lifts are pedestrian-friendly, providing access to mountain restaurants and scenic walks around the Lac de l'Ouillette and the Col de l'Iseran. There is a magical outdoor ice-skating rink, the Centre Aquasportif, a bowling alley, snowmobiling and even ice diving to try. Alternatively, simply unwind in your chalet's private pool and wellness area, or enjoy a massage from one of our masseuses.
Val d'Isère's attractive centre is a great place for a wander and is renowned for its excellent restaurants, bars and good selection of shops. Foodies won't be disappointed by the Michelin starred offering in this gastronomic resort, which counts L'Atelier d'Edmond and La Table de l'Ours among its fine dining establishments. There are also plenty of restaurants serving simpler and less formal fare, such as pizza or Savoyard specialities such as fondue, raclette or tartiflette. The nightlife in Val d'Isère is focused on Cocorico, Le Petit Danois and Dick's Tea Bar, but there are a multitude of elegant bars for a quieter drink too. Try La Mourra or Le Blizzard! In terms of shopping, you can buy everything from local cheese and vintage wines to designer ski wear and fine art. You can bring your own equipment with you or alternatively, shop for it or rent it.

The Resort
Val d’Isere is the oldest of the French ski resorts and a gleaming icon at the end of the valley where the residential town lies. Surrounded by what is arguably some of the most beautiful mountain landscape in the world, the chalet village is centred around a charming baroque church. It’s a lovely place for wandering, taking in the cosy atmosphere and spending quality time with your favourite people.
Val d’Isere is composed of three skiing sections. These are La Daille, Val d’Isere centre and Le Fornet, all of which are linked by a free shuttle service. Alongside Tignes, the resort is part of a wider ski area known as Espace Killy, and a lift pass will get you access to its entirety. Ski season in both resorts stretches as long as May.
Thanks to its high altitude, Val d’Isere is probably your most snow sure option for skiing in the French Alps. The village rests at 1850 metres and its peak on top of the La Grande Motte glacier is 3456 metres high. Sixty per cent of the resort’s pistes are set above 2200 metres, meaning that the skiing is consistently good but on rare occasions, bad weather can cause the slopes to close. It’s also important to keep in mind that Val d’Isere isn’t the best choice if you’re just finding your feet on the snow, and beginners may well find themselves challenged. On the flipside, Val d’Isere is one of the top choices for experienced skiers and snowboarders, with plenty of challenging black runs (such as the iconic Face the Bellevarde, where the 1992 Olympic men’s downhill was run).
And to go with some of the most exciting and picturesque skiing in France, down in the village you’ll find some amazing bars and restaurants. What better way to celebrate conquering that tricky black run than by indulging in some equally entertaining après-ski? On the mountain itself, you can start your evening with DJ’s and live music at La Folie Douce until the lifts close and then work your way into town.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe chalet has all that the little (and bigger) ones might require during their stay. A selection of games, sledges, toys and children’s DVDs are available. Children’s essentials such as cots, high chairs, sterilisers, sledges and toys are available and pushchairs are available on request.
On the chef’s night off children’s high tea and complimentary babysitting will be available and nannies can be arranged throughout your stay, please pre book any required childcare services without concierge team.
Ski lessons can be booked for children ages 4 and over, along ski equipment. Please prebook with our concierge team.
Inside the Chalet the private pool will attract the little ones who surely will like the idea of a splash post a day on the slopes. Food can be tailored to young palates and served at whatever time is required. Apple TV, an iPad and various games and books will help to keep everyone entertained.
Outside the chalet Val D’Isere has a lot to do beyond skiing! Become an arctic explorer with furry friends and go dog sledding! You will be whisked around Val d'Isère by the dogs who love their job, showing you around the resort. Either drive your own dog sled or sit back and enjoy the ride.
Fancy some igloo building? Perfect fun for anyone who would like to experience something quite unique.
For teens there is a karting track, where you can see how you compare to your teammates behind the wheel. Karting is suitable for those aged 14 and above. The fabulous outdoor ice skating rink is open 7 days a week so you can practise your skills any day during your holiday.
Families of young children can enjoy the sledging area on the nursery slope located to the left of the Savonette lift. Tobogganing is a great way to keep the little ones entertained. The sledging is free and open from 10:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m. daily (sledges are not provided on the slopes).
