Each of the comfortable and modern chalets is an independent space with direct access to the mountains, and all include a balcony or terrace with breathtaking views of the French Alps.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Charmettoger piste runs right past the terrace, giving direct ski-in access to the Paradiski domain.
The rooms
Rooms open onto wide balconies facing Mont Blanc, and individual lockers keep ski boots warm overnight.
At the table
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out toward the peaks, where dinner brings Savoyard dishes and fireside vin chaud.
Paris-based architects Atelier Cos have used a mixture of wood and glass for this chalet in the Alpine resort of Les Arcs.
How it began
Atelier Cos designed the chalets in 2013 as one of the first low-energy buildings at this altitude.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
