Chalet Hibou
Nestled above the Tarentaise Valley, Chalet Hibou places you at the heart of the French Alps' most celebrated ski terrain. From the legendary slopes of Val d'Isère and Tignes to five other world-class resorts nearby, every day offers a new adventure. Venture beyond the pistes with our internationally certified French guides, whose local expertise unlocks unforgettable experiences, from ski touring and ice climbing to heli-skiing across the border in Italy and the best après-ski spots in the region.
Set within a traditional hilltop farming village, Chalet Hibou offers an authentic connection to the culture and heritage of Savoie. This beautifully restored historic farmhouse blends alpine charm with understated comfort, featuring seven inviting guest rooms, a Finnish sauna, and an outdoor hot tub overlooking the valley. After a day in the mountains, gather on the terrace for sweeping alpine views or settle beside the fire to enjoy locally sourced cuisine, artisan charcuterie, and carefully selected French wines.
Every stay is fully supported by an exceptional team. Your expert guides lead each adventure, the culinary team prepares memorable mountain fare, and the Experience Team takes care of every detail behind the scenes. From fireside dinners to full days in the backcountry, every moment is thoughtfully orchestrated from the time you arrive.
For an experience few visitors ever discover, journey to our three remote stone refuges, once humble shepherds' huts and accessible only on foot, by bike, or on skis. Hidden deep in the Alps, these secluded outposts host unforgettable candlelit dinners and overnight stays surrounded by pristine wilderness.
Dining at the chalet is a celebration of Savoie’s rich culinary heritage and close-knit village traditions. Ingredients are sourced from the surrounding farms, where fresh eggs, creamy Beaufort, and artisanal goat cheeses are local staples. Our chef crafts seasonal menus that showcase the region's finest produce, with signature dishes such as velvety pumpkin velouté and perfectly grilled côte de boeuf, paired with hand-foraged génépi and carefully selected local wines. For a change of pace, venture just across the Italian border to savour the distinct flavours of the neighbouring alpine valleys.
