Madeleine

On Top of the World

If you and your loved ones are looking for a more peaceful and tranquil skiing break, with some of the most stunning mountain views on offer, book yourself into apartment Madeleine at Le Refuge de Solaise. Share spectacular vistas of the summit and views over Val d’Isère village, as the apartment is located at the top of Solaise mountain at 2,550m altitude. Watch the sun set as you sip on champagne and take time to unwind with the people you love.

Although it may be high up in the mountains, The Refuge is linked to the village by Solaise cable car and Le Plan red slope. For those getting to grips with skiing, a beginners’ area is also in front of the hotel, to ease yourself in gently. After some time on the slopes, get together at the lobby of the hotel to enjoy a coffee break or afternoon tea, or to indulge in a pre-dinner cocktail.

Come in from the cold to this chic chalet that sleeps up to 10 people across four sumptuous bedrooms and a luxury cabin. Decorated in beautiful aged alpine wood, stone and with splashes of Scandi-style furnishings, this stunning retreat is the perfect place to relax and come together with your nearest and dearest. The apartment features one bedroom with a 160cm king size bed, three bedrooms with 180cm super king size beds that can be converted into twin 90cm single beds, and a cabin with two 90cm single bunk beds that are perfect for kids. Each bedroom and the dormitory has its own lavish bathroom or rainfall shower room with separate toilet. The apartment also offers a 60m² open plan living area with wood-burning fireplace. Sink into the sofa with a glass of wine in your hand while you talk about the day's events, or cuddle up and watch a movie together while the snow falls outside.

Admire the majestic views over the mountains and of the resort's twinkling lights down below as the stars come out. Prepare a feast for your family in the well-equipped, contemporary kitchen, complete with all the mod-cons and gadgets needed for modern living. Plus, if you send us your shopping list prior to your arrival, we'll make sure you have everything you need to cook up a storm.

If you're feeling a little tired and achy after your session on the slopes, the Refuge Spa is a place for tranquillity and indulgence. Take your pick of treatments from the Exertier brand, or unwind in the25-metre pool that is set behind a large bay window facing the mountains, allowing you to take in the breath taking views. There's also a warming Hammam and two Jacuzzis to ease those muscles.

Please note that as access to the Refuge is via the Solaise gondola, arrival time in resort must be before 16.30. The apartment is available for short stays so you can always add on an extra night or two to our holiday in Val d'Isere & enjoy a stay like no other !
