Dazzling Diamond Megève, Auvergne-rhône-alpes

Property Description

Megève has long had a reputation as a destination for the glamourous echelons of society to ski and be seen. With chalets like this awaiting for visitors today, it's fair to say that this prestigious standing is unlikely to be diminished anytime soon.

While there are aspects you'd expect to see in mountainside accommodation – plenty of wood, faux fur and roaring fires – there are a few others that will come as a pleasant surprise. Take the ground floor, for instance. Here you'll find a large swimming pool with a wave system, plus an adjoining fitness room. If that sounds a little too taxing, guests have the option of taking a seat in the two-person sauna or reclining in the outdoor Jacuzzi instead.

Even aside from all these fancy extras, the home itself is the epitome of luxury, with vast open spaces, chic furnishings and a pleasingly sleek kitchen. Oh, and there are also boot heaters and a ski room to get you ready for the slopes – the nearest lift to take you up there is only a four-minute walk away, too. Elsewhere in the surrounding town, you'll find plenty of high-end restaurants and boutiques, plus a jazz festival held once a year in the spring.
