New to Consensio last winter, Chalet des Légendes heads into the 2026 / 27 ski season shortlisted for World’ s Best New Ski Chalet.
CHALET DES LÉGENDES:
THE VAL D’ ISÈRE CHALET BRINGING A NEW APPROACH TO ALPINE LIVING
Following its debut in the 2025 / 26 ski season, Chalet des Légendes heads into its second winter in Val d’ Isère shortlisted for World’ s Best New Ski Chalet 2026 at the World Ski Awards.
Exclusively available for rent through the luxury alpine hospitality operator Consensio Chalets, Chalet des Légendes is situated in the quiet, elevated enclave of Les Balmes, just a short distance from the centre of the resort and a three-minute drive from the Olympique and Solaise gondolas. The expansive 355m ² property sleeps eight adults and four children across five ensuite bedrooms, pairing contemporary alpine design with spaces made for the rhythm of a week in the mountains: long ski days, evenings around the fire, time together over dinner and somewhere to switch off afterwards.
A CHALET WITH VAL D’ ISÈRE AT ITS HEART
Rather than following a traditional alpine aesthetic, Chalet des Légendes takes its cues from its surroundings in subtler ways. Natural materials sit alongside sculpted lighting and clean architectural lines, while artwork and portraits pay tribute to French skiing champions who left their mark on Val d’ Isère’ s sporting history, including Henri Oreiller and Jean-Claude Killy, adding a sense of place and story to the space.
At the centre of the chalet is a double-height living space framed by mountain views, with an openplan dining area and fully stocked bar creating a natural gathering point. A separate private après-ski bar adds another dimension to evenings at the chalet, offering an informal setting for drinks, music and time together.
