Our Story
Consensio is a Luxury Chalet Operator (not an agent) and a UK registered company with an Operations office in France. We manage our portfolio directly on behalf of their respective owners and are members of ABTA to provide peace of mind to our guests. Our main goal is to provide Exceptional Service in Exceptional Properties across the French Alps.
Stuart Pinnell and Ceri Tinley co-founded Consensio, launching in 2009 in partnership with the owners of six chalets who were looking for an operator able to manage their chalets with them rather than for them. Consensio means “co-operative” and that is how we work, using our unique profit-sharing method. Each of our owners is as individual as their chalet and we take the time to get to know them, understanding what is important to them. We understand that holiday time is precious, which is why we take the time to listen to our guests to learn exactly what they want, so we can ensure that every aspect is taken care of.
We are proud to announce that Chalet Shemshak received the most votes from the public and industry leaders to clinch the prestigious title of ‘France’s Best Ski Chalet 2019‘ at the World Ski Awards. This came as our 7th consecutive win in this category. Previous Consensio chalets to have been awarded the title include Chalet Marco Polo in Val d’Isère.
*** NEW FOR WINTER 20/21 ***
For this coming 2020/21 winter season only, the company is adapting to a safe, non-contact style service in the chalets which we hope enables you to enjoy the majority of the usual Consensio benefits, but at the same time minimise risk, while we learn to live with COVID and associated uncertainties.

Vision
Our vision is to create bespoke luxury ski holiday experiences, for discerning international clients.
We achieve this by providing tailored Exceptional Service in the most Exceptional Properties in the French Alps. When we say tailor-made, we really do mean exactly that. When staying in a Consensio property you make the rules! Guided by your personal preferences we create a ski holiday experience to meet the unique and individual needs of your party. We manage a number of luxury ski chalets and alpine apartments.

At the forefront of our approach is our care and an attentiveness to detail which filters through every aspect of what we do. We care about our clients, our owners, our staff and our partners. We want to make sure that everyone who comes into contact with Consensio enjoys their experience, whether they are on holiday with us, working with us or working for us. We find this approach means that clients, owners, partners and staff return to us year after year.
