Summer Chalet Rental in La Plagne: Your Seasonal Retreat in the Heart of the Paradiski
Forget the sweltering heat of the valleys and come breathe the pure air of the Tarentaise. To rent a chalet in La Plagne in summer is to enjoy a getaway that is active, family-oriented, and authentic. We don't just offer a simple holiday rental, but our family home, carefully renovated to welcome your groups and friends in an exceptional setting at an altitude of 1,800 metres.
Every summer, we spend two weeks in La Plagne soaking up the energy of the Alps: active mornings spent mountain biking, on via ferratas, hiking, and canyoning, followed by peaceful afternoons with the family. Having fallen in love with La Plagne, we eventually bought Chalet Dakota and renovated it from top to bottom. It has become a warm, welcoming space perfectly suited for large groups. Our greatest reward is helping our guests plan their holiday activities and sharing all our secrets so they can have an extraordinary holiday. We recently embarked on a new project with Chalet Utah. Sébastien & Aude, the owners.
Ideally located in La Plagne 1800, our chalets benefit from a privileged position, offering spectacular sunsets over the surrounding peaks. Whether you enjoy contemplative hikes, are a passionate mountain biker in the Paradiski domain, or are simply seeking serenity on a panoramic terrace, summer in La Plagne is a sensory experience that we can’t wait for you to discover.
The Dakota & Utah Collection: Your Exceptional Retreats in Plagne 1800
Our collection features two flagship properties: Chalet Dakota and Chalet Utah. During the summer months, our chalets transform into havens of cool air and serenity. Designed to meet the needs of large groups and extended families, they are the ideal choice for a luxury chalet rental in La Plagne for 10 to 15 people looking to escape the summer heat.
Chalet Dakota: Elegance overlooking the Vanoise
The flagship of our collection, Dakota was designed as a family home where luxury lies in the details. Its complete renovation in 2022 favoured noble materials: local stone that keeps the air mild and brushed old wood that diffuses a soothing forest scent. In summer, the expansive living area, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains, is bathed in exceptional light.
With its 7 independent bedrooms, every guest enjoys total privacy with their own en-suite facilities. This is the key to a successful group stay: coming together for long meals on the terrace, while respecting everyone's need for peace and quiet.
Chalet Utah: Lodge Spirit and Nature (Renovation in progress)
As Dakota’s counterpart, Chalet Utah cultivates a "Lodge" atmosphere, particularly appreciated in summer for its cosy feel. Located just a few steps from its sister chalet, it makes large-scale holidays possible. Imagine a family reunion in the mountains or a "green" corporate retreat for up to 30 people, all while maintaining the comfort of two distinct units.
From here, you have direct access to La Plagne’s hiking trails and mountain bike tracks. It is the perfect starting point for a morning walk before the sun reaches its zenith, or a trail run across the ridges of the La Plagne domain.
By choosing our collection, you are opting for direct management by owners who are passionate about La Plagne. We know every corner, and have tested every activity and trail in La Plagne, ensuring a level of local expertise you won't find with a standard agency.
