Ski Holidays France

Chalet McKinley is one of the larger chalet apartments, sleeping 12 guests, on the second floor of this convenient residence. The main entrance, at road level, is on the fourth floor, with apartments above and below, as a result of the residence being constructed into the hillside.

The interior style is attractive, with traditional Alpine style evident in the warm wood panelling and carved decorative touches in the living/dining area, which has a fireplace, TV/DVD and a balcony to appreciate the views of the surrounding valley and peaks. This room forms the hub of the property, with three bedrooms to each side of the living area, most of which also have a balcony too.

A simple button lift, only 100m from the Altitude residence’s main entrance, gives quick access to the pistes and superb lift system which links up all the sections which comprise Les Arcs. It’s also a breeze to return each day as skiers arrive back to within 1-minute’s walk from this same point.

In addition all guests have use of the indoor swimming-pool, the shared sauna, ski lockers, ski room, underground parking and lifts all nine floors as well as a convenient bar to quench your après-ski thirst!

The childcare rooms are in a neighbouring residence, the Chalets de L’Ours, and can be reached via an underground connecting passage. Children in our childcare programme will use Chalet McKinley, Chalet Monte Bianco and Chalet Olympus at lunchtime.

On Staff Night Off, you and your family have the opportunity to eat out in one of the local restaurants. Ask our staff for any recommendations.

Family Dining – Many parents prefer to enjoy adult-only company over dinner but if it’s important to you to eat dinner altogether as a family, we offer Family Dining when you book the entire chalet for exclusive use. Dinner is then served from 6.30pm with the menu based on our adult dishes with some flexibility for the children’s preferences. There is a supplement of £39 per child for Family Dining.
