Top snow travel was an excellent service. This past winter (3-7-2026 ) was my first time outside the U.S. Over a Zoom meeting with Gilles I explained to him what I wanted in my trip and he took care of the rest. He stayed in touch via email answering any questions with a timely response despite the time difference. Once I selected a package, he put together an itinerary that was easy to follow making my travels simple. I would use Top Snow Travels service again and recommend their services. Thank you Gilles.

Gilles and Top Snow took care of all aspects of our trip - ground transfers, lodging, lift passes, lessons, rentals - making the trip stress-free. Gilles also provided a lot of guidance on choosing the right resort to visit for our family and 5-year-old grandson. And Arc 1950 didn't disappoint! The best pedestrian only, ski-in, ski-out resort we've stayed in and we've been to a few. Very happy we used Top Snow and would recommend them for skiing the French Alps!

Had such a great Christmas & New Years ski trip at Les Arc 1950 all thanks to Gillies and the Top Snow Travel team!! Perfect ski in/out accommodation which was spacious for the family (kids loved the pool after a days skiing). All mountain transfers, trains, ski hire and lift tickets sorted - we literally didn’t have to think about anything or stress ourselves out (especially coming from the other side of the world with young kids!). Perfect recommendations for dinners and other snow activities. Les Arc 1950 was perfect choice 🙏 such a cute village and it really topped our French Alps stay! We’ll be sure to use Gillies when we return with the extended family in the future!

Gilles did a terrific job with our ski trip. We had 10 families go over to France for a birthday trip in January this year. Not all the families used Gilles but the ones that did, including ours, were very happy with his service. I knew which resort we wanted to go to but Gilles was fantastic at selecting and booking the accommodation (which was amazing) as well as suggesting and booking restaurants. He made everything run smoothly and i wouldn't hesitate to use him again on our next European ski holiday.

Gilles and Top Snow Travel are the best! Our group of six can be picky and demanding, and Gilles built a trip that took care of us all in Courchevel 1850. Prompt, knowledgeable, and patient, it was a pleasure to work with Top Snow Travel. We were especially impressed with Gilles ability to work with the hotel(s) to accommodate our groups specific needs (and wow, le K2 Palace was amazing). Everything from transportation to ski guides to accommodations all happened like clockwork. We highly recommend Top Snow Travel and look forward to working with Gilles for our next French Alps ski trip!

I first discovered Top Snow Travel on YouTube. After viewing several of Gilles' videos and appreciating the wealth of experience and depth knowlegde he had in relation to French Alps and Resorts; I decided to reach out to Gilles to assist with planning our families "last minute booking" trip to France skiing. Gilles was very approachable, professional and incredibly responsive providing thorough advice on all matters skiing, lessons/guides, lifts, on/off mountain activities for my non-skiing wife, accomodation options, transfers, dining options, etc....along with answering every conceivable question one could ask. The options assessment and booking process was swift, effortless and the resultant trip to Meribel 3 Vallees France amazing. If you are looking to ski France I highly recommend you contact Gilles at Top Snow Travel. Thanks for making our families recent trip easy and thus a fond and memorable experience Gilles!

Top Snow Travel did an excellent job orchestrating and planning our family ski vacation to the French Alps. From the very beginning, Gilles was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful in tailoring the trip to our specific needs—especially traveling with a young child and wanting an authentic European village experience. Arc 1950 was a great choice for our family, with a charming town center and a fantastic location. While weather and snow conditions were challenging at times (completely out of anyone’s control), Top Snow’s planning and support made the trip as smooth as possible. A true highlight of our vacation was the private transfer arranged by Top Snow. Our driver, Sam (the owner of the car service), was outstanding—professional, safety-focused, and proactive. His advice to leave early due to weather concerns turned out to be absolutely the right call, and we are very grateful for his careful drive to Geneva. Overall, Top Snow Travel delivered exactly what they promised: thoughtful planning, excellent communication, and dependable partners on the ground. Gilles was a pleasure to work with and always quick to answer questions. Despite some uncontrollable weather challenges, our family had a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend Top Snow Travel to anyone planning a ski trip to the French Alps.

Facilities & Services

Wellness Center

Feel like relaxing? Dive into our swimming pool and relax in the steam bath and sauna. Everything is designed with your well-being in mind when you stay at our Residence Chalets Elena.

If you’re the sporty type, you can take advantage of the high-quality Technogym© equipment in our fitness area to boost your performance.

Swimming pool

Relax with your family in our heated infinity pool.

Children’s pool

There is also a special children’s area designed for your little ones’ well-being

Hammam

Just what you need after a day out skiing or a mountain excursion. Let yourself be swept away by the aromatic essences that fill the air in the steam room. This will help your body unwind after all that exertion.

With a humidity level of 90% and a temperature between 40 and 50 degrees, it will purify and cleanse your skin.

Between two steam room sessions, don’t forget to cool off so your pores can tighten, for firmer and more beautiful skin.

Sauna

Chalets Elena have a sauna where you can sit back on the wooden benches and enjoy a deeply relaxing experience. At temperatures of around 80 degrees, the skin begins to sweat and the pores dilate. The body then secretes endorphins, aiding relaxation. Toxins are flushed out, muscle aches are banished, the skin regains its elasticity, and what’s more, you’re sure to sleep well afterwards.

Nordic bath

Take a dip in this cold bath after a sauna or steam room session. The water temperature between 4 and 6 degrees allows the blood vessels to contract after dilating in the heat, in order to reactivate blood and lymph circulation. It also restores your skin’s firmness!

Hot tubs

Children and adults are invited to lounge in our indoor hot tubs overlooking the pool, where you can relax among the bubbles, alone or with your family…

Bar & Lounge

The Lounge Bar welcomes you in a cosy, intimate and warm atmosphere. Located at the heart of Chalets Éléna, this space is conducive to moments of sharing and complicity. Alone or with friends and family, by the fireplace or at the counter, the Lounge Bar brings you all the comfort you deserve. You can relax surrounded by your loved ones. Enjoy time out at the Lounge Bar relaxing and discovering new tastes.

The bar, a selection of refined drinks

This space will become your new haunt, especially after a day of excitement outside. Ideal for relaxing alone, with family or friends, the bar offers a wide menu of hot beverage. Discover new tastes with carefully selected tea, or try our extensive range of hot chocolates and coffees to warm you up and take you around the world. Enjoy the convivial ambiance and try a hot or cool drink during your stay.

The fireplace nook, a privileged corner for relaxation

To immerse yourself in the authentic Savoy-Mont Blanc ambiance, what better than a real log fire? The Lounge Bar at Chalets Éléna invites you to sit by the fireplace for warmth and relaxation. As the fire crackles, the space is conducive to sharing moments with friends or family. After a day in the mountains, you can reflect on the activities of the day and let the warmth of the fireplace replenish you. With a hot chocolate in your hand, you will lose track of time. Here, now, everything is simply fine.
