Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère: luxury suites with a view in Val d’Isère

At 1,850 metres above sea level, in the quiet rhythm of Val d’Isère’s snowfall, the top floor of Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère reveals three signature suites – Iseran, Solaise and Bellevarde. These are not just larger rooms, but generous alpine refuges designed around light, views and the simple pleasure of coming back from the slopes.

Suites at the summit of the chalet

Perched on the hotel’s top floor, the Iseran, Solaise and Bellevarde suites offer a different pace of stay. From up here, the village feels quieter, yet ski lifts and runs remain just a few steps from the entrance.

Each suite is laid out as an open living space where the bedroom flows naturally into a lounge area. Generous proportions, soft fabrics, maple wardrobes and carefully chosen pieces create a calm, layered atmosphere. The palette is warm and earthy, with subtle references to the surrounding forest and the lines of the ski slopes.

Iseran Suite: an open cocoon above the village

The Iseran Suite, the most intimate of the three, offers around 35 sq m of open-plan living, with views over the rooftops and streets of Val d’Isère. A plush king-size bed anchors the room, surrounded by discreet storage hidden behind tall maple doors and a cosy seating corner.

Light, natural tones keep the space bright, while thicker textures and woollen fabrics add depth and comfort. In the bathroom, a walk-in rainfall shower and a deep bathtub invite you to stretch out after a long day of skiing.

This suite is ideal for a couple or two guests who want a quiet retreat with village views and a warm, contemporary alpine feel.

Solaise Suite: framed by snow-covered peaks

Slightly larger at around 44 sq m, the Solaise Suite opens directly onto the surrounding mountain range. From the windows, you can follow the sun as it moves across the Solaise slopes throughout the day.

The bedroom and living area share the same open volume. The king-size bed faces the view, with soft bedding and down pillows. A comfortable lounge corner is set up for reading, sharing a drink or simply watching the snow fall. Cleverly integrated storage keeps the space fluid and uncluttered.

In the bathroom, a generous bathtub and a rainforest-style shower create a simple ritual: ski, soak, rest. The Solaise Suite particularly suits couples looking for extra space and a wide, uninterrupted mountain panorama.

Bellevarde Suite: the largest, facing the mountains

At around 56 sq m, the Bellevarde Suite is the largest of the top-floor suites. Named after Val d’Isère’s iconic black run, it echoes the sense of scale and energy of the surrounding slopes.

Here, bedroom and living room blend into one large open space. A king-size bed sits at the centre, oriented towards the windows, while a generous lounge area allows for time together as a couple, a family or a small group of friends.

The bathroom is spacious, with both a walk-in rainfall shower and a deep soaking tub – the perfect remedy after tackling Bellevarde or exploring the wider Espace Killy area. With its surface and layout, the Bellevarde Suite is ideal for longer stays or for guests who value both privacy and plenty of room to move.

Design that brings the mountain indoors

Across all suites, the design language takes its cue from the forest, ski culture and local Savoyard tradition. Furniture lines recall branches and timber structures, mirrors echo vintage ski shapes, and textured plaster finishes subtly reference tracks drawn in fresh snow.

The colour scheme combines deep greens, warm browns and soft greys with tactile fabrics, creating a contemporary alpine mood without excess. Every detail is intentional, from the grain of the wood to the curves of a chair, so that the suites feel quietly luxurious rather than showy.

Built around the moment you come back

The Iseran, Solaise and Bellevarde suites are all designed around one key moment: coming back. After the last run of the day, the route is simple – skis off, elevator up, hot shower or bath, then a drink in the lounge corner while the mountains fade into dusk.

From there, guests can head down to the hotel’s restaurants, cocktail bar, spa or pool, before returning to the calm of the top floor. In the morning, the slopes are on the doorstep again, whether you prefer first tracks or a slower start.

Suites, lofts and rooms: three ways to stay

The top-floor suites offer the most expansive, immersive way to experience the mountains at Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère. They can be paired with other room or loft categories to accommodate families or groups who want to stay close while keeping different levels of privacy.

Whether you choose the Iseran, Solaise or Bellevarde Suite, the idea is the same: a generous, thoughtfully designed alpine space that feels as comfortable for a long ski holiday as it does for a shorter escape.
