Perched at 1,930 metres in the tranquil and exclusive hamlet of Le Fornet, Arolay Penthouse offers a rare alpine experience as one of the highest duplex penthouses in the French Alps. Its remarkable 360° mountain views and elevated setting create a true sense of escape, while spanning the top two floors of a traditionally styled chalet. This luxurious four-bedroom hideaway blends alpine-chic design with modern comforts to form an elegant yet inviting mountain retreat.
Guests arrive directly into a spacious entrance hall via a private lift, where four beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms await. Carefully curated mountain luxury defines each space—sumptuous pillow-top Hypnos mattresses, Hungarian goose down bedding, bespoke furniture, atmospheric lighting, exquisite fabrics from some of the world’s most distinguished designers, and original artwork. Additional conveniences include a guest WC, private laundry and drying facilities, and a dedicated ski room with heated boot warmers.
The master super-king/twin suite features balcony access with charming views, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a full-size bathtub and separate shower, a built-in dressing table, generous wardrobe space, and a smart TV.
The remaining three en-suite bedrooms offer peaceful, private havens, with two opening onto wrap-around balconies that capture stunning south- and west-facing vistas. One includes a full-size bathtub—ideal for unwinding after a day on the slopes. Throughout the penthouse, reclaimed wood, natural stone, and luxurious textiles create a warm, sophisticated ambience.
At the heart of the residence lies a spectacular double-height, quadruple-aspect living space. Expansive windows flood the interior with natural light and frame the breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding peaks and the village below. This bright, open-plan space features a sleek kitchen, stylish dining area, and a comfortable living room. A statement fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere for après-ski evenings, while the private terrace is perfectly positioned for sunset drinks.
The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for social cooking and entertaining, with the adjacent dining area crowned by an impressive oversized wicker chandelier, adding rustic elegance with modern flair.
Step outside onto the generous south-facing roof terrace for al fresco dining or to simply soak up the panoramic alpine scenery from the outdoor seating area. In winter, it becomes an idyllic spot for stargazing or watching the piste bashers glide across the moonlit mountains.
A private ski room with heated boot warmers is conveniently located near the chalet’s main entrance on the ground floor and is accessible by lift. On the lower ground floor—also reached via elevator—are three underground parking spaces, a rare luxury in Val d’Isère.
Arolay Penthouse balances calm seclusion with effortless access to the slopes and central Val d’Isère. The Fornet lift station is just a five-minute walk away, providing direct entry to the resort’s world-class ski area. Meanwhile, the complimentary winter shuttle bus stops right outside and runs until 2 a.m., ensuring a swift, simple connection to the vibrant heart of Val d’Isère while maintaining a peaceful retreat to return to.
