Description

If you’re someone who likes to walk on the sunny side of the street, you’ll love this luxury chalet in Chatel. It’s perched high on the slopes above the village to benefit from sunshine all day long. Chalet Belle Vache has south-facing balconies that make the most of the amazing mountain views and large windows that allow the light to flood in.

You’ll feel yourself relax as soon as you walk through the door. Inside, a neutral palette of colours brings a laid-back, cosy feel. Natural materials, such as the wood panelling, beamed ceilings and oak flooring add warmth, while cow hide rugs and soft leather sofas in the living area bring a bit of Alpine style. The open-plan living spaces make this a really sociable property to share with friends. Close by is a well-equipped kitchen area that any foodies among you will enjoy cooking in enormously. A small bar area provides somewhere to sit with a glass of wine and chat to whoever is playing chef for the evening. The cosy dining space has a rustic, refectory-style table with benches, just made for enjoying long, leisurely meals.

The property is well located for enjoying the best of the area’s skiing, but you’ll find plenty to keep you busy on snowy afternoons, when you’ve returned from the slopes. The TV room on the lower ground floor has a second television as well as an XBox console, where you can enjoy a movie matinee or games marathon. It works well as a kids’ den but also gives grown-ups somewhere to relax and lose themselves in a film for a couple of hours. After a few hours on the slopes around Chatel you might also be ready to enjoy a sauna or pop out to the hot tub on the terrace, drink in hand, and allow the bubbles to work their magic on any tired muscles.

By the time sleep beckons, in cosy rooms stocked with puffy duvets, the softest of pillows and Molton Brown bath products, you’ll be more than ready to fall into comfy beds and sweet dreams. A hearty breakfast and more adventures await in the morning.
