Madame Vacances Chalet Arda

Madame Vacances Chalet Arda is a self-catered chalet in Val d'Isère, sleeping 8 in 4 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Ballevarde Express, is about 590m away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. Beds: 2 doubles and 4 singles, with 1 bathroom.

Val d'Isère scores 73 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1849m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

Sleeping 8 is the classic family or small-group size. 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. 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.
