Description
Stay at Chalet Riva in Plagne Village
Chalet Riva welcomes you a few steps from the slopes in Plagne Village, and promises a dream ski holiday.
An ideal slopeside location
Ideally located at 2,100m altitude, you're a few steps from the ski slopes (almost ski-in/ski-out, the pistes are 30 metres from the chalet), at the heart of a calm setting. Admire the splendid view over the snowy peaks of Savoie, the La Plagne slopes and Mont Blanc. Clip on your skis and head down the slopes of the Paradiski area, the world's 2nd-largest ski area linking La Plagne with the resorts of Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry. Enjoy abundant snow throughout the season thanks to La Plagne's exceptional high-altitude location.
The ski school meeting point is in the centre of Plagne Village, 300 metres from Chalet Riva, accessible via the slopes or on foot.
Ski return is possible almost to the foot of Chalet Riva (ski-in chalet).
A luxury chalet for 15 guests
Chalet Riva was entirely renovated in 2024. This large, elegant and spacious chalet sleeps up to 15 guests in 7 comfortable, carefully decorated bedrooms. For added privacy, each bedroom is en suite with bathroom.
Freshly renovated with raw, traditional materials, the premium chalet offers an authentic, chic atmosphere: stone and wood outside, natural and elegant materials inside — aged wood on the walls, velvet, cotton, wool, soft colours, dimmed lighting. You'll be charmed by the warm atmosphere and refined decoration with a nod to the mountains of yesteryear. From the sun-drenched lounge, you'll enjoy the view over the snowy Alps and a convivial moment comfortably settled on the sofa by the fireside.
Chalet Riva welcomes you across nearly 300m², with space allowing everyone to enjoy their stay in complete privacy and conviviality.
Chalet Riva adjoins the small Little Riva chalet for 4 to 6 guests, which can extend the rental to 18, 20 or 21 guests.
A spa chalet for your relaxation
Nothing beats immersing yourself in the Swedish bath on the terrace to unwind after a fine day's skiing. Chalet Riva's Nordic bath is a large wooden barrel filled with hot water.
You'll appreciate the view over the snowy Alpine mountains from the terrace and the calm provided by the Nordic bath.
A sauna will also offer revitalising moments of relaxation after skiing.
Relaxation activities can also be organised at Chalet Riva, such as massages or yoga sessions at the chalet.
A luxury chalet with bespoke service
In Plagne Village, you'll enjoy easy access to every amenity. In the immediate vicinity, you'll find a ski rental and a bread depot. The other shops are 10 minutes' walk away or accessible via La Plagne's free public shuttles. For your comfort, Pointe de Sel can arrange catering at Chalet Riva on request, with a private chef at the chalet or delivery of delicious meals prepared by our chef.
Pointe de Sel will organise your bespoke stay according to your needs, with the Chalet Riva rental, catering based on fresh local Savoie produce, transfers, optional childcare with a nanny at the chalet and booking of activities for everyone with our partners, so you can simply enjoy yourselves and create lasting memories.

Surroundings
A chalet in Plagne Villages, in the heart of Paradiski
Located in Plagne Villages, at an altitude of 2,100 metres, Chalet Riva enjoys a privileged setting combining peace and quiet, excellent snow conditions and easy access to the Paradiski ski area. This welcoming, family-friendly resort appeals to families and groups of friends looking for a peaceful atmosphere away from the bustle of the larger ski fronts, while still enjoying almost ski-in/ski-out access to one of Europe’s largest ski areas.
From the chalet, it is just a few steps to the slopes and the 425 kilometres of pistes in Paradiski, connecting La Plagne, Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry. With more than 70% of the slopes located above 2,000 metres, the ski area benefits from excellent snow conditions throughout the season. Beginners and experienced skiers alike will find an exceptional playground, with glacier skiing, forest runs, fun zones, off-piste terrain and long panoramic descents.
A ski chalet ideal for skiers and non-skiers
Chalet Riva is also an excellent choice for non-skiers. From the chalet, you can easily walk to the Dou du Praz plateau, one of La Plagne’s finest viewpoints, with spectacular panoramas of Mont Blanc and the surrounding Tarentaise peaks. This vast plateau is ideal for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, dog sledding or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the mountains. Guided outings also offer the opportunity to discover the famous Dolines of La Plagne, a unique natural landscape that is particularly striking in winter.
With the shops of Plagne Villages, ski schools and free shuttle services connecting the different villages of La Plagne all within easy reach, Chalet Riva is an ideal base for making the most of the mountains in both winter and summer, in a peaceful and welcoming setting.
