Le Vieux Crêt is just on the left as one reaches Val d’Isère proper from La Daille.
Le Vieux Crêt is at the sunny front, and although its garden wall overhangs the road 50m away and 10m below.
There is a steepish little path to the road, with bus stops to the Funival and village centre a further 100m or so. If you chose to walk, either would take ten minutes.

Le Vieux Crêt has probably become Val d’Isère’s most des res chalet for eight to ten guests.

It is still one of Val d’Isère’s only genuinely old buildings, being part of the 1620s farmhouse that also contains Maison du Rocher.

Le Vieux Crêt is in a brilliant position, in that collection of lovely wood-and-stone chalets.

The hamlet is called le Crêt – the Ridge – and is considered the Boltons of Val d’Isère.

The loveliest old chalet in Val d’Isère is just a few paces from all of its lifts…

The chalet have a private Land Rover to ferry guests from the chalet as well as La Maison du Rocher and La Croix next door to and from any point they choose in Val d’Isère from 8.30 to 10am, and 3.30 to 5.30pm.

Proper breakfast- Fruit juice, porridge, cereals, bacon, eggs, baguettes straight from the famous local bakery, a croissant or pain au chocolat, yogurts, British tea and fresh coffee from Italian espresso pots.
You return from the slopes to find bread and jam, a freshly-baked cake, hot chocolate, etc. left out for you.
Dinner- the best cuts of meat and the best fresh fruit and vegetables.
Nightly canapés are followed by a three-course, fixed-menu, dinner-party-style meal.
The cuisine is largely French, though with a fusion of other influences.
With dinner, unlimited quantities of a selection of very drinkable French AOC wines and vins de pays.
Wine list from which you can buy everything from slightly smarter wines to Châteaux Lafite-Rothschild or d’Yquem.
Steak and kidney pie to boeuf en croûte is also available.

Its walls are as thick as ever, its granite roof as heavy.
The huge, high-ceilinged sitting room is still wonderfully comfortable, with its log fire, multi-channel surround-sound satellite TV, DVDs, Wifi etc.
There is a separate dining room, and a mezzanine where ninth and tenth guests can stay half-price.
The four bedrooms are small but smart, with good cupboards and lots of lighting. Two are doubles and two are twins which can be made into doubles.
Bedroom 4 is on the ground floor, as are the staff bedroom and a sauna.
