Chalet Noella is one of three chalets in a small residence at the entrance to the Balcons area of Val Thorens. The building is shared exclusively with Chalets Mathilde and Chloe. The entrance is on the top floor and a shared staircase leads to the chalets, which are each individually run and hosted. Chalet Noella is available to book exclusively as well as room by room.

Excellent location

Val Thorens is connected to the Three Valleys, Europe's largest lift-linked area, so skiers and snowboarders of all abilities can experience excellent snow coverage and a variety of slopes. The Chalet Noella is in an exceptional location in Val Thorens, to get on the slopes, pop on your skis and head down the Plein Sud blue, which runs through the village, ski directly to the lifts connecting the Three Valleys or turn right to descend to Les Menuires.

The resort's centre is only a five-minute walk away, where a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants can be found. If you have a day off from skiing, the resort offers a variety of activities, including the new Le Board sport centre.

Chalet catering

Throughout your holiday, your chalet hosts will be available to help you with anything you might need. On six of the seven days of the week, the hosts prepare home-cooked comfort food, including a cooked breakfast, afternoon tea snacks, and a four-course dinner with wine, beer and soft drinks. On staff day off the hosts will leave a continental breakfast out and you are free to spend the evening however you'd like in resort. In addition to preparing and serving your meals, the hosts will keep the chalet tidy for the duration of your stay. Since you are on holiday, your only responsibility is getting up to go skiing.

Unwind and relax

The chalet's interior is decorated in the traditional Alpine style and features comfortable furnishings throughout, including a living and dining area with an open layout. After a day spent exploring the Three Valleys, return to the chalet for afternoon tea to chill out with a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. Alternately, you can bask in the winter sun on the sun terrace, which features breath-taking views of the resort.

After a long day on the slopes, guests of the property are able to relax and rejuvenate in the wellness area, which includes a sauna and steam room.
