It all began when we fell in love with Plagne 1800, an old mining village nestled in the forest. We weren't simply looking for an investment in a ski chalet; we wanted to create a meaningful place for family and friends gatherings. We first acquired an old chalet and put our heart and soul into transforming it into an exceptional retreat: Chalet Dakota. We have since launched a second project with the renovation of Chalet Utah.
"We love this resort. We first came here on holiday, before buying and renovating our first chalet; since then, we've tried to offer each of our guests the most memorable stay possible. Every detail of our chalets has been carefully considered to let you experience La Plagne the way we love it." — Aude & Sébastien

Nestled in the quiet, wooded area of La Plagne 1800, our two chalets have been designed to meet the expectations of guests seeking prestige and intimacy.
Chalet Dakota is an ode to light. With its spacious rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sweeping views over the snow-covered pines, it is the ideal retreat for large families and groups who appreciate interior design. Its sauna and various relaxation areas provide the perfect setting for unwinding and socialising.
More intimate, Chalet Utah offers a cosy atmosphere with a refined, understated luxury. The stonework is a key feature, providing a sense of total sanctuary. The views from the kitchen and the living room sofa are truly exceptional. This is the chalet for design lovers and those seeking absolute peace.
As passionate owners, our project goes far beyond simply providing a mountain chalet. We designed Chalet Dakota and Chalet Utah to offer a retreat where togetherness and serenity are the absolute priorities.
No anonymous concierge service here. We communicate with you personally from the moment you book to help prepare your trip. We hand over the keys to our retreats with the same care as if you were long-standing friends.
As lifelong lovers of La Plagne, we share our intimate local knowledge with you. We provide our insider recommendations and secret "Plagnard" routes to help you discover the Tarentaise off the beaten track.
To ensure your vacation remains pure pleasure, we have established trusted logistics partnerships if you are looking for hotel services as part of a seasonal rental. We simplify your planning so that every member of your family can enjoy every moment.
Our chalets are, above all, homes designed for large groups. We have prioritised vast communal spaces for gathering together and private suites so everyone can maintain their privacy.

La Plagne is more than just a ski resort in France with chalets to rent; it is a vast territory stretching from the valley orchards to the eternal snows of the glacier. We particularly love its diversity: each village has its own unique identity.
By staying in Plagne 1800, you'll enjoy exceptional snow conditions what we consider the best location in Paradiski: the tranquility of a wooded village with preserved architecture, offering all essential shops, while being just a few minutes' walk from the vibrant heart of the ski area, Plagne Centre. If you prefer not to walk, free shuttle buses will whisk you to the other ski resorts of La Plagne in minutes. This is the luxury we've chosen for our chalets.
Our chalets are ideally located in the lovely mountain resort of Plagne 1800, less than a 3-minute walk from the lift pass office, the ESF ski school for snowboard & ski lessons, supermarkets, and ski rental shops.

From your doorstep, you have access to the world's second-largest ski area. Paradiski provides a direct link between La Plagne, Les Arcs, and Peisey-Vallandry, offering 425km of pistes for all abilities.
Just 200 meters from the chalet, the Plagne 1800 ski lifts open the doors to the ski area (Mélèzes chairlift and Plagne 1800 ski lift). In the evening, you have the privilege of skiing back almost directly to the chalet via the charming Loup Garou forest trail.
While skiing or snowboarding is king, winter in La Plagne offers many other treasures. We often advise our guests to take the time to discover the mountains in a different way.
Enjoying winter also means savouring a fondue by the fireside in the chalet's lounge or discovering our favourite mountain restaurants. We will be delighted to share our top recommendations for your evenings in the resort.
When the snow gives way to lush alpine pastures, La Plagne 1800 is transformed into a peaceful mountain retreat. Nestled at 1,800 metres in the heart of a pine forest, our chalets offer a naturally cool escape and spectacular panoramas across the Tarentaise Valley.
Summer in La Plagne isn't just about the views; it is a full-scale natural playground.
With the Yuge Paradiski app, you can instantly access hiking and mountain biking trails suited to your level, starting directly from the chalet.
Renting our chalets in the summer means choosing the authenticity of a privately-owned home where every detail is designed for your comfort. Whether you are seeking sporting challenges or quality family time, we are happy to share our "insider secrets" and best local producers for a true immersion into the Savoyard way of life.
