Set across two sophisticated levels within the exclusive Gelinotte residence, beautifully appointed Gelinotte 302 winter vacation apartment affords an unparalleled sense of privacy, tranquillity, and breathtaking mountain vistas. This distinguished alpine hideaway is just a short ten-minute stroll or a swift three-minute drive from the nearest ski lifts - the Bellevarde and Solaise express - as well as the resort’s celebrated gastronomic establishments, chic boutiques, and lively après-ski venues.
Arriving via a private lift, guests step directly into a welcoming entrance hall, which flows effortlessly into the refined grand open-plan living space framed by spectacular scenery on the upper floor. Designed for both relaxation and conviviality, the expansive living and dining area embodies warmth and sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light while unveiling captivating panoramas over Val d’Isère and its majestic surroundings. A sumptuous seating area, centred around a fireplace, invites holidayers to recline in comfort - perhaps with a glass of fine wine in hand, recounting the day’s adventures on the slopes.
As twilight descends, the elegant dining table sets the stage for indulgent meals, prepared in the impeccable kitchen, complete with sleek marble worktops and state-of-the-art appliances, including twin dishwashers for effortless entertaining.

For ultimate relaxation, immerse yourself in the private hot tub, where champagne and starlit views elevate après-ski indulgence to new heights.
Continuing on this level, two exquisitely designed bedrooms await. A stylish double bedroom with a polished en-suite bathroom provides an elegant haven, while the charming children’s bunk room features a built-in desk and its own en-suite shower, offering young guests a cosy and delightful retreat. An upper bunk, reached by a handcrafted wooden staircase, transforms bedtime into an adventure.
Descending to the lower floor, the sumptuous master suite is a sanctuary of sophistication, graced with sweeping mountain views, a spacious dressing area, and a private sitting space. The indulgent en-suite bathroom completes the experience, while direct access to a secluded private terrace allows guests to greet the morning light amidst the splendour of the peaks. Adjacent is an equally elegant double bedroom, featuring a chic sitting area and a refined en-suite shower room. This level also boasts a well-appointed laundry room for added convenience.
For those seeking true relaxation, the dedicated spa area offers an oasis of rejuvenation. Here, guests can unwind in the sauna and hammam, complemented by an invigorating shower. A plush lounge area - ideal for curling up with a book after an indulgent spa session - and convenient changing facilities make this wellness retreat a perfect space to reset body and mind after an exhilarating day outdoors.
The Gelinotte residence provides an array of exceptional luxury amenities for a peerless alpine experience and indulgent stay. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the private gym, complete with a Peloton treadmill and bike, allowing guests to maintain peak performance throughout their wintery holiday. A secure ski room and underground garage, accommodating two private parking spaces - one for a larger and one for a smaller vehicle - offer effortless convenience. From this level, guests can ascend directly to their apartment via the aforementioned private lift.

LUXURY SKI HOLIDAYS IN VAL D'ISÈRE
Val d'Isère’s charming village is a colorful winter sports haven, originally founded as a farming community centuries ago. Today, the village is home to around 1,800 residents, but during winter, this number swells to more than 30,000, thanks to the influx of skiers and visitors. The western and central parts of the village are easily recognizable for their classic chalet-style architecture, while the eastern part features modern high-rise buildings.
Historically significant, Val d'Isère received parish rights in 1637, and the parish church, built in 1664, remains a landmark at the heart of the village. Together with the nearby resort of Tignes, Val d'Isère is part of the Espace Killy, an area famously dubbed the "Most Beautiful Ski Area in the World". The resort is set at the base of a V-shaped valley and is accessible via La Daille, where you’ll pass by the Lac du Chevril. Beneath the lake lies the old town of Tignes, which was submerged in 1952 to create the new dam.
One of the highlights of a Val d'Isère ski holiday is the après-ski experience, particularly at Folie Douce. Located at the top of the ski slopes, it’s renowned for its vibrant après-ski parties. A ski down from the venue, directly into the village, is an exciting way to end your day, although it’s only suitable for strong intermediates and above due to its steepness.

Val d'Isère is part of the Espace Killy ski area, which links Val d'Isère and Tignes, offering over 300km of ski slopes. The Pissaillas Glacier offers summer skiing, and the area is serviced by high-capacity gondolas, chairlifts, and even a funicular (the Funival), which takes you from La Daille to the top of Bellevarde.
Whether you’re looking for easy, wide pistes or steep, off-piste terrain, Val d'Isère caters to all types of skiers. The main lifts and gondolas offer convenient access to the area’s best slopes, and the ski area is equipped with four snow parks and extensive cross-country trails.

For après-ski, La Folie Douce is the place to be, combining high-energy music, drinks, and dancing for a memorable experience.
In the heart of the village, Café de la Place is a lively bar with great cocktails, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. Whether you’re after a gourmet meal, a lively après-ski, or a cozy evening with friends, Val d'Isère’s restaurants and bars offer something for every mood.
