This five-bedroom chalet apartment occupies a prime first-floor position in one of Espace Killy’s most sought locations, with the Bellevarde piste entrance just 10 metres downslope.

Inside Apartment Boisses

Apartment Boisses sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The main suite features a separable double bed (180 x 200cm) with integrated television and a full ensuite bathroom including shower, double basin, toilet and heated towel rail. A second double bedroom (160 x 200cm) includes laundry facilities—washing machine, tumble dryer—plus ensuite shower, basin, toilet and towel dryer; this room serves practical families well. The third bedroom presents a double bed (180 x 200cm) with direct balcony access and the most substantial ensuite: a full bathtub alongside shower, double basin, toilet and heated rail. A fourth double bedroom (180 x 200cm) provides ensuite shower, basin, toilet and towel dryer. The children’s bedroom contains a bunk bed (80 x 190cm) and a separate single (120 x 190cm), with ensuite shower, basin, toilet and towel dryer—designed so younger guests feel their own space rather than an afterthought.

The living floor unfolds as an open-plan arrangement where the lounge—anchored by a gas-burning fireplace with substantial seating, armchairs and a smart television—connects directly to the dining area and kitchen without visual interruption. A large dining table seats the full party comfortably. The kitchen equips users with what amounts to a secondary alpine galley: combination microwave-oven, full oven, induction hobs, dishwasher, fridge, Nespresso machine, raclette machine for fondue evenings, blender, kettle, and extraction hood. Storage includes practical iron and ironing board. Home cinema capabilities allow screening on the main living room television. An elevator serves all floors, eliminating the fatigue of multiple journeys with luggage or tired children.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

A furnished balcony overlooks the surrounding alpine terrain. The standout outdoor feature is the heated outdoor jacuzzi—positioned to frame views across the valley while mountain air moves around soaking guests. This transforms late afternoons into something approaching meditation. Covered parking provides a designated space. The ski locker incorporates boot warmers, eliminating the morning ritual of cold ski boots; this feature alone reshapes the rhythm of ski holidays. WiFi extends throughout, ensuring connectivity when needed without interrupting the essential disconnection that mountain air provides.

Location: Val-d’Isère and the Surrounding Area

Val-d’Isère sits in France’s Haute-Tarentaise valley, 1,850 metres above sea level within the Espace Killy ski domain—a combined 300km² of linked terrain spanning Val-d’Isère and Tignes to the south. Apartment Boisses occupies perhaps the most efficient location imaginable: 450 metres from the village centre yet directly above the Bellevarde lift station. This means ski-in access on the return run and a gentle walk to restaurants, boutiques and après-ski without relying on transfer buses.

The village centre contains Restaurant Le Lodge (known for Nordic cuisine and mountain views), La Bananas bar (the social heart of evening après-ski), plus supermarket facilities and ski rental outfitters. The legendary Face de Bellevarde slope—a World Cup downhill run that separates accomplished skiers from others—begins minutes from the apartment. Beyond piste skiing, the area supports snowshoeing, heliskiing with certified guides, and off-piste touring for experienced mountaineers. Summer transitions the landscape: hiking routes between 1,800m and 3,000m elevation; the Col de l’Iseran (2,764m) stands as Europe’s highest paved mountain pass, reachable within 90 minutes by car for cycling enthusiasts.

Tignes lies 20km south and occupies a separate but connected altitude band (2,100m to 3,456m), offering glacier skiing and a younger demographic’s après-ski culture. Chamonix, home to Mont-Blanc and an entirely different ski ecosystem, sits 130km west—roughly two hours’ drive for day excursions.

For comprehensive destination planning, our Espace Killy travel guide covers terrain maps, seasonal conditions and restaurant reservations.

Geneva Airport lies 180km northwest (approximately 2.5 hours by car via the A40 motorway); Lyon Airport sits 250km west (approximately 3.5 hours). Both funnel international guests toward Val-d’Isère. Peak winter season runs December through March, with January-February offering the most consistent snow and the busiest village atmosphere. April brings spring skiing with longer daylight and warmer afternoons—ideal for families prioritising comfort over powder. September-October offers hiking and early-season atmosphere without summer crowds.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational ski groups find Apartment Boisses’s five separate bedrooms and communal living particularly suited to their needs: grandparents occupy the master suite, adult children take the doubles, young grandchildren share the bunk-bed room with supervision. The laundry facilities in one bedroom mean week-long stays don’t require external cleaning services. Friends’ groups of six to eight guests appreciate the dinner-party seating and fully operational kitchen—an alternative to restaurant fatigue. Families with children under 12 benefit from the children’s bedroom design, proximity to ski schools at Bellevarde, and the heated jacuzzi as evening entertainment. Couples travelling in pairs share the apartment cost-effectively, each couple occupying a full bedroom rather than sharing.

Business groups using the apartment as a winter retreat find the WiFi, parking, and elevator access practical; the home cinema offers an alternative to bar-hopping for evening connection. Single travellers or couples seeking luxury don’t underutilise the space—the master suite’s separable bed allows flexible sleeping, and smaller groups find the open-plan living concentrating rather than cavernous.
