I’ve had the good fortune to visit many unique places in the world and I continue to check off new experiences that I will never forget, including traveling all the way to the Maldives for 48 hours, and partaking in aerial acrobatics in a fighter jet while zooming over San Francisco. One ultimate bucket list experience has loomed larger than the rest since I was 7 years old: heli-skiing, which was inspired by my father’s love for seeking out our own tracks in the mountain snow on family ski trips that no one else had discovered, even if that meant hiking up cliffs with gear strapped to our backs to find untouched terrain. I finally got to cross off heli-skiing during an epic getaway at Chalet Hibou in France. After all, what better way to test my true thirst for adventure than by tackling Europe’s off-piste steepest and deepest snow? Nestled along a picturesque Alps mountainside, the understated and chic French hotel offers thrilling adventures, whether you want to test your limits with a day of skiing down the glaciers in the winter or whitewater rafting down the Isère River during the summer. Chalet Hibou offers something for adventure seekers and luxury travelers alike. There’s exclusive access to some of Europe’s best mountain terrain, alongside intimate 5-star lodging. Here is everything you need to know about this one-of-a-kind experience, which is worth it whether you’re a hard-core skier or just there for the après ski fondue and Champagne (no judgement). Chalet Hibou and sister property Chalet Pelerin next door are nestled between Savoyard farm houses in the mountain town Le Miroir, France. They offer access to three different heli-ski bases and seven resorts including Sainte Foy, Val d’Isère, La Rosière and Les Arcs, offering an abundance of on and off-piste options for skiers of various levels within a 30-minute drive. The seven-room rustic yet modern chalet sets the stage for an outdoor adventure anytime of year, and is currently available for full property buyouts (prices start at $11,360 per night for a private chalet buyout for 14 guests including all gear, meals, beverages and pre-arrival planning with an Eleven Experience Manager). Start your day with a custom chef-prepared breakfast and a strong espresso to fuel you up. When you get back to the Chalet after an epic experience embarking on whatever kind of adventure suits your fancy, soak sore muscles in the outdoor hot tub, or decompress with a massage and a sauna session. Then shower in your room and head downstairs for cocktail hour in the cozy living room bar, where an après-ski cocktail and decadent hors d’oeuvres await by a crackling fire. Dinners are served in the main dining room at a communal table where guests of the chalet nosh on seasonal French cuisine as the sun slips behind the mountain range’s silhouette.
