Description
Think of those old black and white movies infused with old style glamour. The poise and charm of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. An era when going first class meant there was always someone to carry your bags and mix you a cocktail. Because that is the kind of lavish lifestyle on offer at Chalet des Sens, a luxury ski chalet with all the trappings of a five star hotel.
Occupying an elevated position in the Mont d’Arbois quarter of Megeve, Chalet des Sens overlooks this sophisticated French ski resort. It is a cool, contemporary winter palace offering sublime treats for the senses: from delicious meals created by the private chef to the extensive spa and entertainment facilities.
Built with natural materials such as aged wood and rough stone, Chalet des Sens is contemporary, sleek and spacious, with sophisticated gadgets and lavish fittings. After a hard day enjoying the pleasures of Megeve, come home to a refreshing drink by the fireside as delightful aromas waft from the kitchen.
There’s plenty of time for a game of table football and a few drinks at the private bar in the games room before dinner is served.
Getting around is no problem at Chalet des Sens. You can ski back to the chalet and for trips to the ski lifts, shops, bars and restaurants, a vehicle is at your disposal, complete with driver. When we say you don’t have to lift a finger, we really mean it – there’s even an elevator spanning the three floors of this palatial chalet.

Kids
There are endless entertainments for children at Chalet des Sens. The only downside is that it’s so large that you might lose them.
The team of chalet staff is ready and willing to take care of all those family chores, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy quality time together. When the kids are hungry, the chef is on hand. When they leave their clothes on the floor, and their crumbs on the table, the housekeeper can tidy up. When they need to be taken to their ski lessons, there’s a car and chauffeur at your beck and call.
Boredom is not an option at Chalet des Sens. If the kids aren’t splashing around in the swimming pool (complete with a huge flat screen TV) or playing in the games room, they will be holed up in the cinema room, the bunk room, or riding up and down in the lift.
