About Chalet La Breche

Nothing quite beats coming back to an Inghams Chalet after a day on the slopes. Kick off your boots, settle in for a freshly prepared evening meal and swap stories from the day around a relaxed table, while your Chalet Hosts take care of everything (from meals to top tips) in the background.

If you're one to maximise your miles, the Chalet La Breche is the perfect choice for you. This chalet has a superb location on the side of the piste which runs past the chalet down to the 'Telecentre' lift going up to the ski school meeting place and the DMC chairlift.

The chalet combines the charm of Scandinavian design with a sleek, contemporary touch. Every detail has been carefully considered, with thoughtful additions such as modern wooden bathtubs, new showers, double basins, and heated towel rails in the en-suite bathrooms. Spread across four floors, the beautifully furnished property features eight comfortable bedrooms, each with its own balcony.

The traditional style chalet provides access to an outdoor hot tub and two infra-red saunas, and due to its large size it's the perfect base for a group skiing holiday. Chalet la Breche is available to book exclusively as well as room by room.
