Combining alpine tranquillity with outstanding convenience, Arolay Penthouse is located in the picturesque village of Le Fornet, one of Val d’Isère‘s most desirable settings. From here, guests can enjoy effortless access to the vast Val d’Isère–Tignes ski area, while the resort’s vibrant restaurants, designer boutiques and lively après-ski are only a few minutes away by car or local bus.
Perched at 1930m in the tranquil hamlet of Le Fornet, Arolay Penthouse is a rare high altitude retreat, sleeping up to eight guests across four beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms within 155m² of quadruple aspect living space. Arriving by private lift into a dramatic, double height living area, guests are met with uninterrupted 360 degree views over the surrounding peaks and the village below, a genuinely singular vantage point that few properties in Val d’Isère can rival. With a private ski room, three underground parking spaces and a south facing roof terrace, this newly listed penthouse combines true seclusion with easy access to the Espace Killy ski area, available on a self catered or accommodation only basis.
Guests arrive via a private lift directly into Arolay Penthouse’s entrance hall, from which four beautifully finished en suite bedrooms unfold, each dressed with pillow top Hypnos mattresses and Hungarian goose down bedding to ensure a properly restful night after days spent on the slopes. Practical comforts are woven in throughout, from a dedicated ski room with heated boot warmers to a private laundry and drying room and a discreet guest WC.
The true centrepiece, however, sits one floor up: a double height, quadruple aspect living space that floods with natural light through walls of expansive glazing, framing sweeping 360 degree views of the peaks and the village far below. A feature fireplace lends warmth and atmosphere for gathering after a day outdoors, while the sleek, well equipped kitchen and adjoining dining area, crowned by an oversized wicker chandelier, set the scene for relaxed evenings together. Step outside onto the generous south facing roof terrace for al fresco dining beneath the stars, or simply to watch the piste bashers at work on the moonlit slopes.
The master twin or superking bedroom offers a genuinely serene retreat, complete with balcony access and far reaching views, a built in dressing table, generous wardrobe space and a smart TV, alongside a luxurious en suite bathroom with a separate shower and full size bath. Two further en suite bedrooms open onto wrap around balconies with south and west facing views, one of which also features a full size bathtub, perfect for easing tired legs after a day on the mountain. The fourth bedroom offers an equally serene, self contained sanctuary. Throughout, reclaimed wood, natural stone and rich textiles lend a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that feels both elegant and thoroughly welcoming.

Val d’Isère, France. Set at an elevation of 1930m in the naturally quiet hamlet of Le Fornet, Arolay Penthouse enjoys a rare sense of seclusion while remaining firmly connected to Val d’Isère’s wider ski area, positioned along the banks of the Isère river with sweeping views in every direction.
The Le Fornet lift station lies a gentle five minute walk from the property, delivering guests straight into the Tignes Val d’Isère ski area and its 300 kilometres of pistes. For those who prefer not to walk, a complimentary shuttle bus stops right outside the building, running from early morning until 2am throughout the winter, connecting guests easily to the main snow front where the resort’s ski schools meet and the Solaise gondola and Olympique cable car begin their ascent.
The centre of Val d’Isère, with its boutique shops, celebrated restaurants and buzzing bars, is a five minute drive away, giving guests the choice of a quiet mountain retreat with the resort’s liveliest attractions never far from reach.
