Nestled away in the mountain village of Les Angles with a superb view of Lake Matemale, this idyllic chalet has a long list of ways to keep you warm and toasty, even at the height of winter.

The most obvious option is to hunker down among the comfy throws in the living room next to the contemporarily styled fireplace – especially as some of the best views are to be had out through the huge window in this space – but guests also benefit from both a private sauna and a hot tub out on the terrace.

There's something ultra-cosy and homely about the design, which embraces all the traditional features you might expect to see in a home such as this – we're talking an abundance of wood, soft lighting and a few antler-themed decorative items. That being said, it's modern where it matters, particularly the sleek black kitchen and bathrooms.

During the warmer months, there's a balcony terrace on which you can sit out and survey the majestic scenery, as well as another on the ground level. The aforementioned lake that you can spot in the distance is only 4km away, ready and waiting for walks and watersports. When snowfall covers the slopes, however, there's a shuttle that takes you up to the slopes a mere 100 metres from the front door.
