Chalet vacation rentals in Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise

Overall: Came for a winter skiing week with 3 adults and 2 children. Everyone was very satisfied with this very nice chalet -- but prepare yourself for some low ceilings. Pros: Larger than we were expecting. Split toilet and shower helps with larger group. Lots of places to dry your wet items. Area outside for kids to play in snow with toys and sled(ge)s available. Sheltered picnic table just outside the front door. Able to borrow a variety of cooking equipment for making local delicacies. Extremely helpful host. Beautiful interior and exterior. Cons: You WILL bump your head on the large ceiling joist over the beds in the 3-bed room. No matter how much you think you have learned where it is, you haven't. On the last day while packing achieved concussion level impact with this joist, despite a week of experience. Other low areas such as over stairs could be an issue for a taller person. Garage has limited space for accessing vehicle and we parked only half into the garage.

We had a very pleasant stay in Laurence's chalet. Ideally located on the slopes, start and return on skis. This location is for those looking for peace and proximity to nature. I warmly recommend this atypical place hoping to return.

Great getaway at Christine's house. You will be pampered every moment in almost every room with the fantastic views of Mont Blanc and other mountains. Ideal starting point for hiking or cycling trips. Even without snow sensational!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Chalet Cosmos from March 1st to March 8th, 2025. Our group of five adults and three children (ages 2.5, 13, and 14) felt completely at home. The chalet is just as beautiful as in the photos—spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The stunning view of Mont Blanc from the window made every morning special, especially while enjoying a warm cup of tea or coffee. The house is very warm and cozy, with comfortable rooms for everyone. The fully equipped kitchen had more than enough glasses, plates, and utensils, making meal preparation effortless. We also really appreciated the selection of board games, which provided great entertainment after a long day on the slopes. The location is perfect for exploring the four ski resorts in the Chamonix area, and we were able to visit them all. The chalet was an ideal base for our adventures.

Pauline was very welcoming and gave us lots of help and information regarding local attractions. The house is very clean and has everything you'll need. We were 2 adults, 2 small children and 1 baby and there was plenty of space.

Beautiful Val d 'Arly with its nature and canyons, beautiful bear retreat. Fantastic wooden boiserie chalet. Fabulous Terrace Yannick super host

A fantastic cottage, neatly and tastefully appointed. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has all the utensils you need. Jean-Luc was very kind, available and flexible. This is a beautiful rental, very well located to enjoy all the surrounding activities.

Exotic stay in an environment close to nature and the village center. We appreciated Gerard's discreet presence and kindness. We hope to come back.

We had a great stay. The house was fab and Iona was tip top as a host. We would come back.

The chalet is fantastic if you plan a peaceful stay in the French mountains. It’s spacious, private and has lots of room for you and your loved ones to relax. Nicolas was communicative and helped us out whenever we had a question. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend booking this great Airbnb.

Easily one of the best airbnb's we've stayed at. It accurately matched the description, host was very responsive and very flexible to our requests. Pictures matched exactly and don't do the views justice. The kitchen is very well stocked with every appliance and kitchen utensils you might need. The coffee machine was fantastic in the mornings. Hot tub was great, and each room had amazing insulation. While some people watched TV upstairs others could go to sleep undisturbed. Wifi worked great (~90MB/s in the living room) and I was able to get a bit of work done while I was there. I'll warn you to park at the base of the small cluster of houses in the public parking and walk the rest of the way. It is possible to drive up to the house but the street becomes very narrow with buildings on either side and might be difficult with a larger car or if you don't have experience driving on tight European village roads. The walk from the public parking is very easy and at most took 2 minutes.

Simply amazing place; perfect for a family of skiers. Very spacious, tastefully arranged, with fantastic views, just a dream. Better than the pictures. Practicality-wise, kitchen is very well equipped, utility room and pantry are separate, and there's both washer and dryer. En-suite shower is really nice, and family bathroom is spacious and has separate toilet. Foyer has heated floor and plenty of space for skiing gear. Overall, much more spacious and comfortable place than typical chalet in the area. Isabelle was very helpful to arrange snowmobile for our luggage on check-in and check-out. If you are skiing, and Bettex lift is working - the access is just perfect, but even with lift not yet opened (as in our case) it's a breeze to ski to the cabines down and then via Finance piste back. For restaurants and local grocery after ski it was a short sporty walk. Couldn't be happier with our stay - recommended.

Melanie and Nico were the best Airbnb hosts we've ever encountered. As soon as we arrived, we were met with so much kindness and a huge surprise! Throughout the week, they always made sure we were good by scheduling shuttle times for the mountain, providing us with daily food menus to order from, and coming to help us when we didn't know how to use the coffee machine. The house itself is incredible! It was a beautiful feeling to dip in the hot tub, sauna, or pool after a long day on the slopes. The view of the mountains from the house was one of the best views we've seen. It was also easy to navigate into the Arcs. From the house, it's about a 10-15-minute walk to Arcs 1600, and from there, it's super easy to take the bus to the other Arcs. If you want an incredible, relaxing, unforgettable experience, book with Melanie and Nico. You won't regret it!

Great place!l, good location. We had a great time with our group

Amazing time we had as a family with kids and grandparents. Very close to the center and high enough to have a view on the village! All the privacy for each room is there to be fully comfortable. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at Chalet Matalen! The chalet is set in a beautiful and peaceful location slightly away from the centre of Arc 1800 which made for a wonderfully relaxing stay—we were never disturbed. However, access to the slopes and village was still very easy, with the Jardin Alpin lift just a five-minute walk away and a regular shuttle bus service at the end of the road providing connections to various destinations in Les Arcs. The chalet itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with excellent facilities including a ski room that was incredibly useful after a day on the slopes. Everything was thoughtfully designed to ensure a comfortable stay. A special mention to Fanny, who provided support throughout our stay. She was attentive, easy to contact and very helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a high-quality chalet in a stunning setting this is the perfect choice. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
