Neilson Chalet Hotel Turquoise (Belle Plagne)

The Turquoise couldn't be more perfectly situated. It sits right on the gentle Belle Plagne slopes meaning skiing from and to the door is a breeze. There are two lifts all within a few minutes walk or ski/board too. The closest is a drag lift just 100m away, but the main Bellecôte gondola is only 150m from the hotel.

There's a fresh feel to this chalet hotel with contemporary yet comfortable furniture. The open-plan bar and dining area provide a great setting for re-telling your day's exploits with a well-earned drink. Alternatively, grab your glass and head to the terrace for some fresh mountain air and fantastic views.

About the resort

La Plagne forms one half of the 425km playground which is the Paradiski area. It really is one of the best ski areas in the world, regularly playing host to speed skiing, freeriding, freestyle and world cup events.

The terrain is varied, high and seemingly endless. The La Plagne half of the area is over 200km in itself so unless you're a hardcore mile-muncher, the local lift pass is enough. That said, it's definitely worth a trip over to Les Arcs at least once during your stay just for the cable car ride; the double-decker Vallandry Express is not to be missed!

Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Breakfast is a fairly extensive affair with cooked and continental options every day. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and served with complimentary wine, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week leaving you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening.

All 25 rooms are bright and airy thanks to large windows and a balcony that draws you to the pretty impressive piste and mountain views. Each room has a TV, mini-safe and an ensuite with a hairdryer. You'll also find luxurious Temple Spa toiletries in each bathroom.

There's a great selection of rooms to suit all party sizes. Families will love the mezzanine or interconnecting rooms for their storage and practical sleeping arrangements.

Don’t forget that you get free guiding and coaching throughout the week from fully qualified ski and board instructors with our Mountain Expert service.

Designed for confident blue and red-run skiers and snowboarders, they'll show you around the mountain on free guiding sessions, and even offer free coaching sessions to help you become a more confident skier or snowboarder.

There are at least three sessions a week and we guarantee each guest at least two sessions a week. Your hosts will explain how it works when you get there.
