The location of this Val d'Isère chalet is hard to beat. Set equidistance between the slopes and its lively restaurants and shops, everything is just a five-minute drive from your door. And there's plenty of fun away from the slopes (and we're not just talking about the après-ski). In the summer, take advantage of the gorgeous hiking trails and cycling routes leading straight from your door.

Back at home, this place delivers all the charm of a Savoyard-style chalet with the utmost luxury and none of the chintz. Kick off your ski paraphernalia in the smart boot room and head into the light-filled living space. There's everything you need to rustle up a bite to eat in the made-for-action kitchen. But if you'd prefer to hand over catering duties, there's a restaurant just a three-minute drive away for a slap-up dinner and all the fondue you could muster.

Keep the après-ski vibes going with a glass of wine in the chalet's outdoor hot tub – there are fluffy dressing gowns and slippers at the ready. Or hunker down beside the fireplace and break out the home's board games while others crash out in the mezzanine den room with a movie. Wherever you choose to be, those incredible vistas of the snow-capped pine trees and mountains beyond will be right there.
