Résidence Le Cristal de l’Alpe
Résidence Le Cristal de l’Alpe
Résidence Le Cristal de l'Alpe is a small-scale, luxurious complex. It is built entirely of wood, giving it the style of a charming, traditional chalet. The nearest ski lift, Le Signal, is just 50 metres away and the centre is also easy to walk to.
The spacious apartments, in contrast to the traditional exterior, are very luxurious and modern inside. You will have everything you need to ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. There is even a beautiful wellness centre available, for some ultimate relaxation after an active day of skiing.
