Description
Granite Mountain Lodge is a luxury ski chalet in Chamonix that provides the perfect base for snowy adventures. Stylish, minimalist but super cosy, Granite Mountain Lodge is newly renovated and ready to welcome you. Decorated using natural materials such as wood and stone, and a calming, neutral palette, the chalet is a wonderful place to relax after an energetic morning on Chamonix’s slopes.
With double-height ceilings and huge windows that frame a picture-perfect view of the mountains, light floods into the rooms. The main communal areas are pared-back and spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to socialise comfortably and there’s always a space to find a little peace and quiet, too. Two comfortable seating areas give everyone room to sprawl with the papers or gather with a glass of fizz in the evenings and catch up on everyone’s day. A long, refectory-style dining table is a sociable space in which to sit and enjoy good food, fine wines and excellent conversation long into the evenings.
On quiet afternoons, escape to the spa area and enjoy the sparkling swimming pool, relaxing sauna and fitness suite. Or kick back in the cinema room with a favourite film and a bowl of popcorn.
A private garden provides a beautiful place to enjoy the fresh air in summer and becomes a magical winter wonderland in peak season. There’s a rock-climbing area for anyone who hasn’t expended enough energy on the slopes, and a fire pit just made for marshmallow toasting in the evenings.
As well as the six beautiful bedrooms, there’s also an annex comprising of two bedrooms and mezzanine area. Together these make up the Granite Mountain Lodge Estate which can be rented at additional cost for larger parties up to 22 guests, or used for your own nanny or other staff.
Granite Mountain Lodge is certainly a very special property, but what really makes it a magical stay is the dedicated staff who are always there to ensure you never lift a finger, and help curate your stay with personalised activities to make every day a new adventure.
