The exterior of the chalet is built of stone and timber, with a typically Savoyard interior of wood-panelled walls and exposed wooden beams.

The chalet is set over 4 floors, with an entrance to the chalet on the ground floor, where upon entering there is a ski room with heated boot rooms, perfect for ensuring you’ve got toasty warm boots before hitting the slopes each day. On the ground floor, you’ll also find the sauna, the perfect spot in which to ease any aches and pains after a tiring day on the mountain.

There is a flat-screen television in the living room, perfect if you’re feeling tired and fancy a relaxing evening watching a good film in front of the fire.
