Ski Holidays France

Chalet Aralia is situated in Villarabout, just above the village of St Martin de Belleville, and is only a two minute chauffeur driven journey from the centre of St Martin de Belleville and the ski slopes.

It has been built as a luxury private chalet and was new for last season. The chalet sleeps 8, but can accommodate a further 2 children in a bunk room if required.

It has been designed with a reference to the traditional chalet whilst its styling is luxurious and contemporary. All of the bedroom have fantastic en-suite facilities whilst the communal areas exude a feeling of relaxed sophistication. The stylish open-plan living area is a great place to relax after a hard day on the mountain, whilst its sauna is a fabulus place to ease those aching muscles.

It also has an outdoor hottub on the terrace for this winter. In the warmer months you can always take in the sunset on the chalet’s sun terrace – with spectacular uninterrupted views across the Valley.

Our Food
At breakfast you will be offered a wide selection of cereals and porridge, fresh fruit salad, organic fruit juices, yoghurts, local artisan breads and freshly baked croissants. On 6 days of your holiday (our chef and host will have one day off) we offer a cooked daily special such as bacon and eggs, American style pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup, Eggs Benedict or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon – these cooked options can be tailored to your preferences.

On your return from skiing each day you will find our mouthwatering afternoon tea set up for you in the dining area, with freshly baked cakes, breads and jams, teas, coffee and hot chocolate.

Your evening will start with a choice of canapés and aperitifs around the fire before dinner. We are passionate about using the freshest locally-sourced seasonal ingredients in all our dishes and our evening menus are designed to be beautifully balanced whilst delivering great flavours.

Our food is not over complicated and our ethos is to prepare stunningly presented and truly mouth-watering dishes.  A selection of local French cheeses is always offered after dinner, followed by coffee and petit fours. Your dinner will be accompanied by a great selection of carefully selected premium wines.
Chalet Aralia is decorated throughout in a contemporary alpine style, using soft grey and neutral tones, local woods and textured natural materials.

The wonderful living area has a large designer corner sofa and a stylish velvet loveseat where guests can sit and relax with pre-dinner canapés in the light of the glass-fronted log fire.

The living area has a double height ceiling and boasts a 55inch Samsung Smart TV which is equipped with British Satellite TV, DVD player and games console, together with a selection of DVDs and computer games. There is also a great selection of books and board games and a sonos music system.

The dining area flows through from the living space towards the kitchen. At night, the dining area benefits from the glass fronted log fire that it shares with the living room.

Dining is an elegant but informal affair with candlelight and table linen in the evenings, beautiful Villeroy & Boch crockery and crystal Villeroy & Boch glassware.

The dining area opens out onto the sun terrace with its panoramic views across the valley. There are beautiful wooden deckchairs adorned with sheepskins and an occasional table for those sunny afternoons when you return from the ski slopes, a great place to soak up the alpine sun.

It is here that you will also find the outdoor hottub which is the perfect place for a glass of fizz to take in the spectacular mountain sunset.

The chalet benefits from a well equipped kitchen where your chalet chef will prepare your breakfast and evening meals.

On the ground floor there is a ski room which has heated boot warmers and ski racks to keep your equipment warm and dry.

On the ground floor you will also find the beautiful wood sauna, the perfect place to ease your aching muscles after a day on the mountain, which is complemented with a shower to invigorate you before and after your sauna.
