Description

Comfortingly rustic, yet delightfully elegant, too, Chalet Face à Face is a real treat. This luxury ski chalet in Val d’Isere offers a stylish break with all the comforts of home for a large group of family or friends.

The beating heart of the property is the magnificent  living space on the top floor. Cathedralesque ceilings, exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling windows create a dramatic entertaining space that’s a pleasure to sit in. During the daytime, there are stunning views and light flooding into the space, and at night time the room twinkles with lights from the chandeliers. A statement fireplace at the centre of the room brings drama to the entertaining space, which is furnished with capacious sofas, piled high with cushions and throws.

Adjacent is the cosy dining room, which seats 10, beneath the atmospheric floating-candle-style lighting and pendants. Just off the living area is the balcony, which has wonderful views of the snowy mountains and the village; the perfect spot for an after-dinner drink under the stars. Looking out over proceedings is the mezzanine floor, where there’s a TV and comfy sofas; a great area for the kids to watch a film under blankets while you enjoy canapés in the evenings.

You’re so close to all the skiing action here. You can ski in and out of the chalet, but you’re also only a short chauffeured drive from the main lift. And there’s plenty to entertain you in Chalet Face à Face when you’re not on the mountain, too. The lower ground floor is dedicated to entertainment and relaxation. There’s a stunning indoor swimming pool to float in, as well as a steam shower, large sauna and areas to enjoy massage and yoga. After an afternoon spent here, you’ll emerge feeling completely refreshed and renewed. This floor is also home to the private, state-of-the-art cinema room, where you can hold movie nights for the whole chalet. Just ask your chef to sort the popcorn.

At the end of each day, retreat to luxury bedrooms with spa-style bathrooms and layer upon layer of puffy pillows, thick duvets and cosy blankets for a long sleep and sweet dreams; tomorrow will be full of adventures, too.
