Description
High on style and low on stress, this luxury chalet near Chamonix is the perfect bolthole for discerning skiers.
The property is adjoined by a beautiful forest with lots of trails to wander around, and the chalet faces south so its terraces and gardens attract the best of the sunshine. Step inside and this stunning, contemporary space, designed using natural materials, simply cocoons you. Rich woods and stone are complemented by slubby linens, plush velvets and faux furs, all in neutral shades. It feels very easy to relax here.
The main living space is sociable, spacious and bright with floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto the terrace and frame spectacular views of the mountains beyond. A contemporary fireplace is at the heart of this space, with squashy sofas in one half of the living room and a quiet reading area in the other, separated by bookshelves. Nearby is an elegant dining space where you can enjoy long, leisurely meals while watching the snow fall outside through the windows. A separate home cinema room nearby is the ideal spot for snuggling down with popcorn, blankets and a favourite movie on chilly afternoons.
Down on the ground floor you’ll find the relaxing spa area. Take a dip in the beautiful swimming pool, lie back in the sauna to soothe any aches and pains, or simply indulge in a couple of hours on a lounger, pool side with a good book in one hand and a drink in the other.
You’ll be well looked after while you’re staying at Chalet Freya, Chamonix. From the champagne welcome to booking the best tables at the best restaurants, it’s the small touches that make all the difference.
Location
This luxury ski chalet in Argentiere, in the Chamonix Valley is located on the edge of the forest and has hiking trails from outside your front door to enjoy in summer. In winter, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from a ski area for beginners as well as a cross-country ski loop, and the Grands-Montets resort is just a 10-minute walk away.
Argentiere’s ‘old village’ is also only 10 minutes away on foot and, just as importantly, you’re within a stone’s throw of what is possibly the best bakery in the Chamonix valley.
The Chalet Freya Chamonix is south-facing with panoramic views of the Mont Blanc Massif.
The nearest airport is Geneva, approximately an hour’s drive away. There is also a heliport at Chamonix.
