Our View

A charming mountain retreat with beautiful views, modern comforts and relaxing shared facilities

Overview

Set within a traditional chalet-style complex, Capricorne combines authentic alpine character with modern comfort. Located on the second floor with convenient lift access, it enjoys lovely mountain views and a peaceful atmosphere.

The open-plan living area is compact but thoughtfully designed, with comfortable seating, a wood-burning stove and a generous dining table for relaxed meals together.

The chalet sleeps up to nine guests, making it a great option for groups with flexible or odd numbers. All bedrooms are tastefully furnished and feature private bathrooms for added comfort and convenience.

Guests can enjoy complimentary access to the shared sauna and steam room, as well as a dedicated ski and boot room. Free WiFi is also included throughout the chalet.

For larger groups, Capricorne can be combined with other chalets in the same building: Libra, Sagittaire and Verseau.

Description

Location

Chalet Capricorne is a chalet apartment located in the Altitude Val 2400 Residence in the Balcons area of Val Thorens. It is ideal for those wanting quick access to the slopes – the complex is just 200 metres (approx.) from the piste and the ski lifts are a 5 minute walk away. Alternatively, you can catch the ski bus from right outside the complex. The centre of Val Thorens is a 10 minute (approx.) walk and there are several pubs, restaurants and ski shops nearby. These chalet apartments are excellent value for a snow-sure resort of this calibre.

About Val Thorens

With a resort altitude of 2,300m and skiing reaching up to 3,230m, Val Thorens is one of the most snow-sure destinations in the Alps. It's also part of the vast Three Valleys ski area, offering 600km of interconnected pistes served by fast, modern lifts. Whether you're clipping into skis for the very first time or returning for your fiftieth trip, there's terrain to suit every ability.

The purpose-built resort is compact and convenient, with plenty of ski-in, ski-out accommodation, making it easy to maximise your time on the slopes. Set against a dramatic backdrop of towering peaks on three sides, the scenery is just as memorable as the skiing.

After a day on the mountain, the après-ski scene offers something for everyone. Dance to live music at legendary slopeside venues like La Folie Douce and 360 Bar, enjoy a relaxed drink at local favourite The Frog pub, or unwind with a spa treatment. Many hotel wellness facilities welcome non-guests, while Spa Pure Altitude at Hotel Altapura is the go-to choice for a luxurious five-star experience.

If you're looking to mix things up, soar down Europe's highest zipline at speeds of over 100km/h or tackle the Cosmojet, Europe's longest toboggan run. For a more relaxed mountain experience, head to the Caron 3200 complex at the summit of Cime Caron. Perched at 3,200m, it features a restaurant, wine lounge, panoramic rooftop terrace and breathtaking views across more than 1,000 Alpine peaks.
