Elemental Haze

Elemental Haze: Rhône-Alpes

In a quiet hamlet of chalets, this home makes the most of its Alpine valley location, embracing peace and quiet. Yet, you’re just a short drive to the ski-centric town of Megève, where ski lifts whisk you up to runs and pistes for all levels and bars and restaurants await for aprés-ski. Though, there’s so much on offer at this chalet that you may want to spend every day here instead.

First, let’s talk about that pristine swimming pool, sitting in the Alpine-green lawn and inviting you for a dip in the summer months. Myriad balconies and terraces house outdoor lounges and dining tables with mountain views. In the winter months, a second, indoor pool has you covered. There’s a fully-equipped gym inside too, and a sauna, steam room and massage room for unwinding. If kicking back and having fun is more your thing, the games and movie room has you covered with foosball and a home-cinema set-up.

After a day on the slopes, there’s nothing better than settling in front of the fire in the grand lounge, perhaps with a glass of red from the wine cellar. A wall of picture-frame windows shows off the valley view from here and there’s a banquet-sized dining table for group meals. Bedrooms in wood-clad walls and slate grey are the perfect mix of chalet-chic and modernism.
