Chalet La Moraine

La Moraine is one of the oldest chalets in Val d’Isère, with the traditional extended wall and pillar, which support the whole tree trunks, which support the slabs of granite, which support the twenty feet of snow, which support one of the longest seasons in the Alps.

The chalet has, of course, been entirely rebuilt inside. It has a charming sitting-dining room under the rafters, with a wide balcony facing Solaise. This room always seems to generate a very friendly atmosphere, perhaps because of the good food that comes from its state-of-the-art kitchen, perhaps because it isn’t huge and doesn’t have a TV, forcing people to re-invent the ancient art of conversation. Maybe it’s just the unlimited wine.

La Moraine now has six pleasant bedrooms: two twins which have views up Solaise, a double room with its own en-suite washbasin, a single room containing a large double bed, another single room, and a smaller, sweet single room with a second bed up a ladder (and even a third bed which pops out from under the second). These extra beds can be used at half price if one party fills the whole chalet, though flight seats may be limited on certain dates, especially at peak season.

There are two baths, one shower and three wcs.

Rooms in order of preference (in our opinion):

Bedroom 1: Twin (12’ x 11’) on the first floor with balcony.
Bedroom 2: Twin (11’6” x 9’9”) by Bedroom 1 with balcony.
Bedroom 3: Double (11’ x 10’4”) with unusually large bed, and basin, on the second floor towards the rear of the chalet.
Bedroom 4: Single (9’6” x 8’6”) on the second floor, with an extra bed on a mezzanine (8’10” x 8’6”).
Bedroom 5: Single (9’5” x 8’6”). Sweet little room on the first floor, containing a double bed which can be used for two people when one party books the whole chalet.
Bedroom 6: Single (approx 9’6” x 10’) on first floor containing a double bed which can be used for two people when one party books the whole chalet.
Bathrooms: Two bathrooms, one on each floor plus two separate wcs. Additional shower with wc on the second floor.
Sitting-Dining Room: (18’6” x 11’6”) On second floor with comfy new sofas at one end, kitchen at the other (not in measurements) and dining table in the middle. Wide balcony. WiFi in places.
Extra Beds:Rooms 4, 5 and 6 have space for additional people at half the brochure price, although we may not always have flights for those using these extra beds.

La Moraine is in the little hamlet of Le Joseray, adjoining our chalets Chez Savoy and next door to Les Gnellets. Some people always stay in these chalets, because they are only three minutes’ walk from the lifts, the pistes or the bus stop, and six from the village centre, yet the only sound at night is an occasional moo from the neighbours.
