A short list, chosen in person
We don't list every chalet in the Alps. We visit them, stay in them, and only represent the ones we'd send our own family to.
Booking a chalet in the Alps from the United States usually means choosing between an anonymous rental platform and an agency that lists every property in the region. OFF-PISTE is neither.
We work directly with a small number of owners, we know each chalet from the inside, and we only represent the ones we would send our own family to. When you call, you speak with someone who knows which bedroom gets the morning light and how long the drive from Geneva really takes on a February Saturday.
Our job is to translate the French Alps for you: which resort fits your group, which week to avoid, what to book before you land. Then we stay with you, before, during and after the trip.

OFF-PISTE vs. Airbnb: What You're Actually Booking, and Who's Accountable for It
The practical differences between booking a French Alps chalet on Airbnb and booking with OFF-PISTE: who you're contracting with, what happens if something goes wrong, and the concierge difference.
Before you enquire
I've never heard of OFF-PISTE before — how do I know this is a legitimate agency?
Fair question, and one worth asking of any agency you haven't worked with before. OFF-PISTE is run personally, not through a call center: our founder grew up in a French winemaking family and has spent most of his life in the mountains, and every chalet in our small collection has been visited, inspected, and stayed in by someone on our team, more than once, in more than one season. We work directly with owners rather than through layers of sub-agents, which is also why our collection stays deliberately small, a dozen properties we genuinely know rather than hundreds we don't.
Will I pay more by booking through OFF-PISTE instead of a listing site?
No. Our fee is kept in line with what a booking platform would charge, so working with us costs you the same, while adding local expertise, a personal point of contact, and someone accountable if anything needs fixing. A number of the owners we work with only rent through agencies they know personally, so several of our chalets aren't listed anywhere you could book them yourself.
Which destinations do you currently offer?
Tignes, Courchevel (including La Tania), La Clusaz, and Val Thorens. Each has its own destination guide on our site covering the ski area, altitude, and what actually distinguishes it from the others.
What concierge support is included with every stay?
A dedicated contact before and during your stay, and an arrival coordinated with the on-site team, at no extra cost. Two further levels of support, Basecamp and Summit, add restaurant reservations, grocery delivery, and a dedicated concierge for those who want more of it arranged in advance.
How does booking a chalet with OFF-PISTE actually work?
Tell us your dates, group size, and what matters most to you. We narrow our collection to what genuinely fits, you choose from a short, honest shortlist, and once we issue a Booking Confirmation and receive your deposit, your stay is secured.
