Catered Ski Chalet: 270 year old Farmhouse With Stunning Mountain Views

Catered skiing holidays (winter); B&B (summer).
Demi-pension en hiver; chambres d'hôtes avec petits déjeuners en été.

For people in search of something authentic.

At La Portette you will find genuine hospitality in a fabulous setting.

We are right at the heart of Paradiski with over 425kms of pistes. Situated at 1150 metres on one side of the Tarentaise Valley, the village is covered in snow from December to the end of March.

The owners are your hosts: Andy and Liza and our daughter Camille. Our concern for the personal is reflected in your kind responses: the 5* Trip Advisor reviews and the 9.7 Review Score on Booking.com based on 165 customer comments.

Our beautiful house dates from 1756; a 270 year old farmhouse whose original features include exposed stonework, lots of beams, old wooden doors and quirky archways. A spiral staircase leads up to the stunning top floor with a spacious open plan living and dining area. Balconies open off 2 sides of the house from picture windows with amazing views up and down the Tarentaise valley across to the distant peaks of Mont Blanc.

The airy living room has huge, squashy sofas, a log fire and an extensive library.

Downstairs is traditional and cosy. The family suite features a 4 poster bed hung with muslin curtains. One twin room has built in wooden cupboard beds with curtains, adored by children. Every room is furnished differently, with nice linens and a shelf – or two – of books.

Fabulous food is served: daily breakfasts, afternoon teas, and evening meals with wine.

Paradiski has some of the best skiing in Europe, with 425kms of pistes and high altitude slopes. But the purpose built resorts of the 60s and 70s that go with this aren’t for everyone. The farming hamlets of the lower slopes will offer you the charm and authenticity, the tradition and character, of the Savoie. With a free 3 minute minibus shuttle to the lifts of course!

Here since 2003, our detailed knowledge of the area will help you make the most of your holiday. Whatever your ability, slope preference or even the weather we can advise on itineraries. And we can suggest activities for non-skiers too.
