Chalet Crystaile

The imposing stone and wood façade of Chalet Cryst’aile belies its warm, refined interior. The style here is a modern take on mountain chic: the walls are clad in blonde wood, with rugs and fur throws providing splashes of colour. Metal coffee tables, sixties-style armchairs, retro lamps and wicker chairs: the blend of vintage and contemporary furniture is a perfect match for the air of Alpine elegance. In the lounge, pull up a chair at the table and admire the view over the valley through the vast bay windows. After dinner, snuggle up on one of the plush sofas to watch the flames dance in the striking glass fireplace.

In the morning, step out of the chalet and straight onto the slopes. In the afternoon, relax and unwind with a few lengths of the pool and a spell in the sauna, or else enjoy a well-earned massage. When the sun goes down, slip into the outdoor jacuzzi and watch the lights twinkling across the valley. Finish the day off in gourmet style at local restaurant La Saulire: the truffle pastries are delicious.
