At the same time, you get to see the wonderful hot tub on the balcony, our cosy heated boot-warmers, and as you step in to the lounge it's difficult not to be slightly awed by the fantastic views of Europe's largest mountain, Mont Blanc, plain for all to see in the huge windows off the lounge and the dining room.
Plus everything else you'd expect form a top-end chalet holiday - free wifi, games console, roaring log-fire and plenty of comfy sofas. So much in fact, that you may find yourself wanting to stay in rather than go out skiing!

Interaction with guests: For winter ski guests, before your arrival, Alpine365 owners (Duncan and Toorna) will be personally in touch with you to organise train or airport transfers; your lift passes; ski school; childcare; check on dietary requirements; restaurant reservations on staff day off, and ensure everything is organised so all you need to do is turn up and go skiing!
During your stay, you will be looked after a couple - a professional, restaurant-trained chef who will cook for you (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner) plus a chalet host, who will keep the chalet clean and tidy.
I had really high expectations of Chalet Pisteside - as it appeared to be so perfect - but I was not disappointed in any way. Mark and Jas were perfect chalet hosts - the food was amazing and the kids had different meals to us every day (but at the same time) which they loved. They decorated the chalet and made a wonderful cake for my daughters birthday - really going the extra mile. The chalet is beautiful and was so quiet. The hot tub views over Mount Blanc were unbelievable. Toorna was fabulous at organising everything - and Duncan and Steve were so helpful and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back.

Perfect @ Pisteside
Thank you to the Alpine 365 team for a wonderful skiing holiday. The chalet was in an excellent location and was genuinely ski in - ski out, conveniently situated for lifts and with the most amazing views.
We were looked after by Mark and Jas, nothing was too much trouble, they seamlessly blended excellent and attentive service without being over the top. The food was simply phenomenal. The quality, presentation, imagination and service exceeded what we have experienced in highly regarded restaurants. What was truly impressive was the way our groups needs were catered for with no reduction in quality. One evening Mark prepared not one, not two but three different types of fish cakes' to cater to everyone's preferences! This is way beyond any attention to details we've previously experienced.
We must mention Steve, who assisted with lifts and transport, always smiling and even ensured the children had adequate opportunity for snow ball fights on the way to ski school.
Lastly, we would highly recommend booking Lift passes, ski hire and transfers all through Duncan at Alpine 365. Such an easy process and all delivered direct to the chalet.
Alpine 365 have spoilt us for any other type of ski holiday. Our Pisteside experience has set a new standard!

Beautiful Chalet. Incredible Hosts
We have just finished a week stay in Pisteside (2nd visit in 2 years). We couldn't ask for better hosts than Jas and Mark. I can't recommend this place enough. Incredible food and service. Also thanks to Steve who was there to provide lifts whenever we required.

Pisteside Perfection!
This is our 5th visit to Chalet Pisteside and our second time with wonderful hosts, Jasmine & Mark. We were blessed with a massive dump of snow which makes this ski in - ski out chalet such a bonus. As ever, we enjoyed delicious meals, beautiful cakes and a very warm welcome. Perfect for our grown up family get-together on the slopes and later luxuriating in the hot tub or playing quizzes around the cozy real fire. Thank you so much 😊

Fantastic as always!
It was our 2nd time staying at Pisteside and 2nd time with Mark and Jas. Absolutely incredible stay, the chalet is beautiful and the hot tub after a day on the slopes is perfect, especially with views over Mont Blanc. The food was stunning, but I definitely now need a diet now I'm home!! Mark and Jas are so welcoming and a pleasure to be around and Duncan had been incredibly helpful as always around the whole stay! We will be back I am sure!

Amazing Hosts!
We had a fantastic week at Pisteside - even without enough snow to ski in/out. Mark and Jas were wonderful hosts and really made all of us feel at home. The food was amazing - lovely cooked breakfast specials to set us on our way each day; homemade cakes on our return; delightful canapés each evening and then a three course meal to follow! The food was so good we were repeatedly blown away by the quality - sophisticated and simply delicious. There was still more than enough skiing for us, across La Plagne and Les Arcs, and the ever cheerful Steve provided lifts to and from the slopes. Toorna and Duncan provided hints and tips from before arrival and through the week (restaurant La Bois was a particular treat!). All in all a wonderful week - thank you to everyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your stay at Chalet Pisteside. Typically, the day after you left, it started to snow and has carried on for days and our current guests are happily skiing in and out of the chalet! Thank you for being such great guests - Mark, Jas and Steve will be delighted with your comments.

Fantastic chalet hosts
Jas and Mark were fabulous hosts and looked after us. The meals they prepared from breakfast, afternoon tea to our 4 course meal were 10/10. They catered for my dietary needs perfectly, they even made all afternoon tea cakes gluten free and made gluten free pasta! There is nothing I could fault them for.
Highly recommend and would definitely come again!

What a break!
We absolutely loved our stay at Chalet Pisteside, Mark and Jas will go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Their delicious cakes were lovely to arrive back to after a day on the slopes and their 3 course meals made us feel like we were eating at a top restaurant every evening. We all feel completely refreshed after a week here and hope to be back soon!

We are based in the immense and hugely popular French resort of La Plagne
Les Coches is a modern, friendly place, with no traffic in the centre, and has all the amenities you would expect of a mountain resort. Bars, restaurants, a crèche for the kids, plentiful ski shops, local gift shops, two ski schools, as well as an ice rink and a well stocked local supermarket.
In addition, the village of Montchavin (a short, free shuttle-bus ride away), as well as offering extra choice in bars, restaurants and shops, also has a cinema. Chalet Pisteside is on the Les Coches piste down to Plan Bois chair lift, and it is a 8 min walk away from the centre of town.
Getting around
Chalet Pisteside is just metres from the piste in Les Coches in La Plagne. Les Coches is a lovely, family-friendly resort with bars, restaurants and shops all within walking distance from the chalet (down a footpath, taking about 8 minutes).
The skiing in La Plagne is fantastic. From the chalet you ski down to 'Plan Bois' chairlift. From there, you can then ski to La Plagne or take the 'Vanoise Express' cable car to Les Arcs.
For any nervous skiers, as the chalet is on the piste, there is also a free shuttle bus that goes down to Les Coches centre.
As the chalet is on the piste, you can rent skis, snowboards and helmets from a company called Rental Republic, who will come to the chalet and fit you there - so no need to queue up in a shop
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
Flying - nearest airports are Chambery, Geneva, Lyon and Geneva. Just let us know which flights you are on and we will arrange airport transfers to the chalet.
Airport transfers - if you are a group of 8, you're better off getting a bespoke transfer in a minibus. This will pick you up from your flight and bring you straight to the chalet. If you are a couple, for example, it's often cheaper to get a shared transfer or bus.
