King of Comfort Chambery, Rhône-Alpes

Property Description

Ask anyone who knows their stuff about winter sports and they'll tell you that Val d'Isère is up there with the best skiing destinations in the world. If you fancy a visit to see for yourself, this wonderful chalet might just turn you into one of the resort's most fervent supporters.

After a long day on the slopes, you'll be thankful you chose this home. The corner sofa covered in faux-fur throws and cushions is a lovely place to throw yourselves upon, especially with the contemporary wood-burning fireplace crackling away in the background. If this doesn't warm you up again, the only option is to head down to the lower ground floor and make the most of the sunken Jacuzzi and private sauna.

Although the wooden interior is definitely traditional in style, there are luxurious flourishes in every room, from the modern kitchen and freestanding bathtubs. The large windows offer gorgeous views of the snow-capped mountains, but if you want a closer look, there are balconies on two levels of the home.

When it comes to ski chalets, the distance to the slopes can really make or break it, so you'll be happy to hear that it's only five or so minutes by car to the Solaise Express lifts and nearest pistes — there's even a complimentary driver service to take you there. Just as close to the home are a number of restaurants and a supermarket, too.
