THE PROPERTY

Built to blend in with the local architecture, the outside of the chalet is finished in larch wood with traditional Alpine embellishments including engraved panels, decorative friezes and balconies. In contrast to the exterior, the interior of the property is designed in sleek contemporary style and is centred around a stunning spiral staircase set in a glass, wood and metal cage which connects the four floors of the chalet.

Beautifully designed for entertaining with open beams and full-length windows throughout, the chalet’s main living area is located on the first floor and includes a spacious open-plan living and dining area separated by a magnificent modern fireplace, a fully-equipped Boffi kitchen finished with walnut cabinetry and Zimbabwean granite plus a private study. A wrap-around terrace offering panoramic views of the Grandes Rousses and Ecrins massifs completes the living area on this floor.

The chalet’s superb master suite is also located on the first floor with three additional bedrooms on the second floor including a dormitory-style room which is ideal for younger members of the family or for use by guests.

On the ground floor of the property, you’ll find an independent guest apartment with two double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and a living/dining area which opens onto a superb sunny terrace. Also on this level are two state-of-the art ski rooms accessed by automatic glass doors and a fully-equipped laundry room.

The lower floor of the chalet is dedicated to health and well-being with a seven metre swimming pool equipped with a counterflow swimming jet, a seven-seater jacuzzi pool and a hammam to soothe your muscles after a day on the slopes.
