NEW Free Ski Guiding in Val d’Isère, France, with VIP SKI
After the roaring success of VIP SKI’s new complimentary ski guiding service at Bear Lodge in Les Arcs last winter, VIP SKI is now offering free ski guiding to guests staying at the seven Hameau de Bellevarde chalets in Val d’Isère during the 2022/23 winter season too.
Hit the slopes with VIP SKI’s complimentary ski guiding service and enjoy sociable skiing on the best pistes. The advantages of complimentary guiding with VIP SKI’s friends at Oxygene ski school, includes the luxury of avoiding frustrating bottlenecks, priority boarding in any queues at lifts, finding the lesser-known pistes, and maximising time on the slopes. Pocket the piste map and revel in the pure heart-pumping pleasure of skiing.
Exclusively available to residents staying at any of the seven chalets at Hameau de Bellevarde in Val d’Isère, complimentary ski guiding will be offered on the first two mornings of a winter holiday. Places are limited and available by prior reservation only. Skiers and boarders must be competent on blue runs and capable on red pistes. Instruction is not part of the complimentary guiding service.
Combined with the neighbouring resort of Tignes, Val d’Isère offers some of the world’s most exciting lift-serviced slopes. The twinkling Alpine village has several world-class facilities that draw in a legion of Brits and Europeans year after year. Yet, it’s the slopes that make Val d’Isère a must-visit resort with more than 300 kilometres of prepared pistes plus exciting off-piste routes to discover. Situated at 1,850 metres altitude, Val d’Isère is one of Europe’s highest resorts making it suitable for all abilities, and VIP SKI offers holidays from the 29 November 2022 until 23 April 2023. Val d’Isère is a winning choice, as skiers move uphill in search of snow this year.
The Hameau de Bellevade No 7 and No 8 chalets are located opposite the Santons piste; guests can easily step out their chalets, click into their bindings, and start exploring the resort.
No 7 Club Bellevarde sleeps 14-16 guests and No 8 Club Bellevarde sleeps 14-18 guests. Their modest facades are constructed from wood and stone in the traditional Savoyard style, and all the rooms have balconies overlooking the beautiful forest and sparkling stream. Moving inside, both chalets cascade down the mountain side over four floors; guests have the chance to socialise in the expansive living areas with a roaring fire. The vaulted sitting rooms are complete with comfy sofas and flat screen TVs, whilst the outdoor pool, sauna, and hammam offer fantastic amenities for relaxing and soothing tired ski muscles. No 8 also has a small gym for those who want to go the extra mile…
Both chalets have seven en-suite bedrooms, one of which has additional bunk beds (charged at half the adult price for children) and the master bedrooms boast spectacular in-room baths and dressing rooms. The bedrooms are the grandest in the VIP SKI collection, in fact they are huge.
