Description

Original, charming and uber-stylish, this luxury ski chalet in Chamonix is really special find. Nestled in the quiet and pretty village of La Lavancher, it feels hidden away from swish, party-loving Chamonix.

Inside, however, it’s your private, whimsical winter wonderland.

The silver and white living space, overlooked by the roaring fire, has high-backed sofas and armchairs for extra cosines as well as superb views of the mountains. It’s a fabulous spot in which to relax with friends over drinks in the evenings as you catch up on the day’s events. The cinema room gives you all a more laid-back place to chill out with beers and a films, or why not hold your own movie matinée, complete with hot chocolate and popcorn? Nearby, the sophisticated wood-clad dining room with fabulous paintings on the walls gives dinner an air of the stately home.

Each of the bedrooms has its own unique look, from headboards with Highlands style to Baroque-look feature walls and window seats with to-die-for views. Every double suite has its own access to a terrace as well as luxury en-suites, and the kids’ bunk room makes for a cosy retreat the little ones will be happy to toddle off to at the end of the evening.

For those seeking some serious pampering, the chalet has its own gym, spa and indoor swimming pool. After a long day on the slopes, you can soothe away any aching legs in the sauna or steam room and then a gentle float in the heated pool with hydrojets.
