A Fresh Take on French Alpine Adventures

If the picturesque snow globe moment you’ve been envisioning for your winter getaway involves luxury chalets in the Alps, the finest of fireside French après, endless alpine terrain, and exquisite accommodations steeped in Savoie style, we have just the spot in mind.

Chalet Pelerin and Chalet Hibou Eleven Experience’s perfectly placed luxury chalets in the French Alps – delight guests with refined European flair. During your stay, wake up to village church bells and a view of Mont Pourri from your private balcony. Afterwards, ski-out or snowshoe the Alps’ storied slopes with a private guide. No matter what you choose, this culturally rich experience is as enchanting as it is exhilarating.

French Charm Meets Fabled Culture

Your balcony’s very own outdoor hot tub offers sweeping views of the immaculate Savoie landscape.

Chalet Pelerin and Chalet Hibou are perched in a remote historic farming village high in the Tarentaise Valley in Le Miroir. Entering the village feels like walking through a vintage film set. And the interiors? They are equally as steeped in France’s renowned character. From locally sourced art to antique regional maps, these luxury chalets in the French Alps embody the country’s treasured personality. Eleven Experience immerses guests in Alpine splendor from private fireplaces to French doors opening up to private outdoor spaces. Your balcony’s very own outdoor hot tub offers sweeping views of the immaculate Savoie landscape. But if you’re craving more R&R, the Finnish sauna and steam room provide European-style rejuvenation.

Whether you opt for a treatment or an adventure in the Alps, you can look forward to taking a seat amongst friends and family at your own intimate dining table. Here, you can watch the talented chef prepare an exquisite dinner from an open kitchen. The seasonally-inspired dishes and drinks at your luxury chalet in the French Alps truly epitomize French flavors. Everything is sourced locally, down to the neighborhood dairy farmer who will hand-deliver fresh eggs and yogurt and Génépi liqueur foraged from the native Génépi flower in Savoie’s high country during the summer. Dine on hearty dishes like pumpkin velouté and a decadent spread of aged cheese fireside. Perhaps imbibe in a digestif alfresco under the terrace’s strung lights.
