Virtually every window of this chalet in the French Alps is like the frame of a picture postcard. Crafted by a local carpenter and spread over three floors, this home has four ensuite bedrooms and a hammam. When it's cold outside, the living room benefits from a wood-burning stove. For warmer days there are sunny balconies with stunning views and a west-facing terrace with a Jacuzzi. You'll need a car here, as it's a 1-kilometre walk to the ski bus. It’s also 4 kilometres to La Croix Fry and 3 kilometres to the shops and restaurants of Manigod. But that’s a small price to pay for such a beautiful location.
