Occupying a wonderful spot, high above Chatel, Chalet Whymper is a great base from which to enjoy everything this luxury ski resort has to offer.
The design of the property really makes the most of the stunning location, with huge windows to frame the stunning mountain views, wraparound balconies complete with outdoor living and dining spaces – and even a swing – as well as a hot tub and barrel sauna with bubble window so you can enjoy the mountain from every angle.
The stylish interiors are a mix of modern rustic charm and sleek, contemporary good looks. Chunky woods and natural materials combine beautifully with chrome and glass and modern art. The living areas merge seamlessly into each other, from the laid-back lounge and TV area, to the airy dining space, to the uber-modern kitchen with coffee bar and all the gadgets you could need.
There are lots of break-out areas, too, including a bar and a well-equipped games room decked out with huge bean bags and relaxed seating. For anyone in need of a little peace and time to themselves, each of the five main bedrooms has been designed to be a little bolthole of its own, with stacks of cushions and throws and en-suite bathrooms for a little pampering before bedtime.

As well as the open-plan living spaces for play, there’s also a dedicated games room with lots of comfy chairs and bean bags and plenty of toys to keep them busy. Older kids may appreciate the barrel sauna outside on the terrace. They’re all certain to love the outdoor swing, too, with amazing views while you swing back and forth.
The TV snug is open-plan to the kitchen and dining room so little ones can watch cartoons while the grown-ups catch up over a glass of wine in the early evenings.
There’s plenty of flexibility of accommodation, too, with one double room and a quad bunk room sharing a family bathroom making up a great family suite, and a second double suite, which can be converted to a twin with an extra spare bed to sleep three kids easily or act as a family room.
