Chocolat Chaud

Chocolat Chaud: Rhône-Alpes

You’ll find this modern yet cosy apartment a minute’s walk from the La Vormaine slopes and a nineteen-minute drive from Chamonix, Europe’s best place for freeride skiing. Spend your days carving down pistes, warming up with decadent hot chocolates in bustling cafes and tucking into hearty French dishes in white-tablecloth restaurants.

When you’re ready for some downtime, your pad’s inviting living space awaits. We loved the full-height ceilings and soothing neutral colour scheme. Fall back onto the couch and toast your toes in front of the contemporary wood-burning stove before browsing the books and board games and fixing a platter of nibbles in the fully-equipped kitchen. Step out onto your private balcony to watch the sun dip below the serrated peaks and when the stars begin to appear, retreat to your quiet bedrooms for a night of deep, restful sleep.
