Chalet du Berger Val d’Isere, France
Chalet du Berger is very much in the French family home style, so has great character, but we'd be kidding if we said it was really plush. It offers great value for money for skiers who are simply interested in skiing rather than pampering, because, of course, you still get the same excellent Le Ski service.
The location of Du Berger is perfect, with the Solaise cable car only a 4 minute walk away. There’s usually enough snow to ski back very close by to the chalet.
The lounge/dining area has a warm atmosphere and mountain views from the balcony. Some bedrooms are smaller than others (just ask when you call us) but all have ensuite bathrooms and plenty of hot water!
We offer a generous discount for filling the chalet, so if budget is a key factor but you don’t want to compromise on the ski area, Du Berger is definitely worth a look.

Chalet catering has moved on an awfully long way since the early days!
Your Chalet Host will be cooking and serving home-made breakfast, home-baked afternoon tea, canapes and three-course dinners.
Alongside this delicious food you'll be served Champagne and unlimited red, white or rose house wines (apart from with breakfast...).
A hearty, substantial breakfast is vital before a day on the slopes so that's what this operator serves. Our morning feasts have really evolved over the last few years and this operator gets lots of very positive feedback about them.
There's a tempting range of continental options, fresh crusty baguette and porridge as well as a cooked breakfast. There's a different hot option each of the 5 mornings when breakfast is served to you by your host (please note this will be different on our short breaks in January).
No compromise is made on quality - they serve Heinz baked beans and ketchup, HP sauce and real teabags from the UK! Breakfast is served from 08.00 to 09.00.
Tuck into tempting treats after your day in the mountains. Help yourself to a freshly baked cake or biscuits which will have been made by your host. There will also be fresh baguette, jams, tea and coffee to enjoy.
Canapes and Champagne or fizz are served at 7:30pm as you unwind and relax for the evening. The house Champagne is Drappier. This operator knows the Drappier family and they are one of the most respected families in Champagne who make their top-quality drinks using environmentally aware methods and only the best ingredients. Drappier is served on the first and last day of your holiday.
On the other evenings they serve a "methode Champenoise" made by their good friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret. Nicolas and family live just down the valley and provide all of their house wines too! Minimum wine miles, maximum quality!
Dinner service is informal as they want you to feel at home in your chalet. Your chalet host will prepare and serve all your meals.
They work with local producers and suppliers to create an interesting and varied range of high-quality homemade dishes.
Whilst you will never go hungry in one of this operator's chalets their staff have been trained in sustainability in the kitchen and they endeavour to keep food waste to a minimum.
After your three-course dinner simply leave the table and relax with coffee and chocolates...if you have any room left!
If there’s anything you’d rather not eat, whether for moral, sensory or digestive reasons, please let us know before you travel. This operator won’t charge you a penny extra for these special diets.
They can serve dinner early for your youngsters who will likely be worn out after a day in the snow.
Your Chalet Host will prepare homemade, nutritious and fun dinners the kids will love!
Please let us know if you would like early dinner times or have special requests.
This operator takes their house wines very seriously and believes that they should be good enough to please every palate. They spend a long time each pre-season ensuring that the ones they choose are top-quality, easy-drinking wines. They only serve French wines in order to reduce our wine miles (or kilometres....).
They serve unlimited red, white and rose wine with dinner, from bottles not boxes! Choose your preference from the various different house wines they offer.
If you’re looking for an extra special treat they also have an upgrade Wine Lover’s Package. They have brand new options for winter 2022-23 with packages starting at £60.
Your Chalet Host has two days off during the week. Chalet staff will lay out continental breakfast and afternoon tea to help yourself to.
In the evening, it’s a great chance to sample the local cuisine and your Guest Services Manager in resort will be happy to make a restaurant reservation for you.
