CHALET IBEX & SPA

CHALET IBEX & SPA is a self-catered chalet in Serre Chevalier, sleeping 14 in 7 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Le Bletonet, is about 1.1km away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. It has a hot tub, a sauna and a fireplace. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 2 doubles, 4 large doubles and 2 singles, with 7 bathrooms.

Serre Chevalier scores 34 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1200m. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

At 14 guests this is a whole-group chalet — two or three families, or the kind of Christmas where everybody comes. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

It is not ski-to-door, so factor in getting to the lifts each morning. Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.

CHALET IBEX & SPA is in La Salle Les Alpes, in the Serre Chevalier area. The nearest lift listed is Le Bletonet, about 1.1km away. The usual arrival airports for Serre Chevalier are Turin (TRN), Grenoble (GNB), Lyon (LYS). We do not publish transfer times, because they swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week.

Christmas week 2026 runs 19 Dec – 26 Dec 2026 — the Saturday-to-Saturday changeover most Alpine chalets work to, with Christmas Day falling mid-week.

Serre Chevalier scores 34 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score. The Serre Chevalier resort page shows how that is worked out and what Christmas in the village is actually like.
