The Modern Chalet

The Modern Chalet: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Located in the beautiful French Alps, this luxurious chalet is not only ideally positioned for ski enthusiasts looking for easy access to a ski lift, but the word sanctuary might come to mind from the moment you walk through the doors. Spread across five levels, this home includes a spa and wellness area, a fitness room, and an indoor pool where you can unwind if your goal is total relaxation and restoration.

Top up your endorphins in the sauna after your morning laps in the heated pool and then head upstairs to get breakfast going in the generous kitchen.

With more than enough space, it’s all hands on deck, which will make eating breakfast at the dining table so much more rewarding for everyone involved. Head to the piste for a day on the slopes – the golfers might flex a different sporting muscle as they head out to tee off at the golf club – or admire the beauty of the area as you hike along one of the trails in the area.

Back home you can get comfortable in front of the fire as you play card games together, or head to the cinema room for a family movie night as you don your wooliest socks. Have a cup of cocoa out on the balcony, taking in the splendour of the white landscape as it stretches across the horizon.
