Hip Hideouts is offering Alpine-style apartments in the French resort of Val d'Isère, with its Le Parc Marceau apartment sleeping ten in five rooms and providing what it describes as crafted bed and breakfast, including a private breakfast chef and chauffeur service. The price starts from €2,400 per person, B&B, for up to ten people sharing, with an evening chef available as an optional extra.
Val d'Isère is a high-end resort at 1,850 metres above sea level in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and some 60% of its slopes are above 2,200 metres. According to the tourist board, 42% of tourists who visit are Britons. The resort is reachable via Geneva airport and sits on the edge of the Vanoise National Park, with the Grande-Motte the largest mountain visible, rising to 3,653 metres.
The apartments are within a wider luxury complex known as Le Parc 1963 and feature a concierge, gym and a clean snow room. Skiing instructors from Oxygène were also available. The resort offers gondola lifts and is described as walkable, with a lively après-ski scene.
Dining options mentioned include Poya, Le Blizzard, l'Aigle d'Or and La Folie Douce, a mountainside restaurant and party venue that describes itself as having Europe's highest outdoor cabaret. The Grande-Motte is estimated to have around 50 years left until its glacier disappears, and meltwater from the mountains supplies a large hydro-electric dam.
