Perched at 1930m in the peaceful hamlet of Le Fornet, Arolay Penthouse offers a rare alpine experience as one of the highest duplex penthouses in the French Alps. This luxurious four-bedroom retreat spans the top two floors of a traditionally styled chalet and combines alpine-chic interiors with modern comfort, creating an elegant yet welcoming mountain escape.
Guests arrive via private lift into a spacious entrance hall that opens onto four beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms. Each room features supremely comfortable pillow-top Hypnos mattresses and Hungarian goose down bedding, ensuring a restful night after days on the slopes. Practical touches include a guest WC, private laundry and drying facilities, and a dedicated ski room with heated boot warmers.
The master superking/twin bedroom offers balcony access with beautiful views, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and full-size bath tub. This bedroom has a built in dressing table, ample wardrobe space and a smart TV.
The three other en-suite bedrooms each offer a serene private sanctuary with two of these bedrooms providing access to wrap-around balconies with stunning south and west-facing views. One of these bedrooms features a full-size bathtub, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. High-quality reclaimed wood, natural stone, and luxurious textiles create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere throughout.
The centrepiece of the penthouse is its dramatic double-height, quadruple-aspect living space. Expansive windows flood the interior with natural light and frame sweeping 360° views of the surrounding peaks and the village below. This bright, light-flooded space features an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. A feature fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere for après-ski gatherings, while the private terrace provides the perfect spot for a sunset drink.
The well-equipped, sleek kitchen is perfect for social gatherings, while the adjacent dining area is crowned by an impressive oversized wicker chandelier, adding a touch of rustic elegance.
Step outside onto the generous south-facing roof terrace for al fresco dining or simply soak up the panoramic mountain views from the outdoor seating area. Spend winter evenings stargazing or watching the piste bashers at work on the moonlit mountains.
A private ski room for you and your guests is equipped with heated boot warmers is conveniently located near the main entrance to the chalet on the ground floor. This is accessed via the elevator. The parking facilities are located on the lower ground floor, also accessible by elevator, and include three underground parking spaces, a rarity in Val d’Isère.
Arolay Penthouse balances serenity with convenience. The Fornet lift station is just a five-minute walk away, giving direct access to Val d’Isère’s world-class ski area, while the complimentary shuttle bus, stopping outside and running until 2am in winter, connects guests swiftly to the vibrant heart of the resort.
