Chalet Marco Polo

Although located at the heart of Val d’Isere, one of the most famous ski resorts in the French Alps, this stunning chalet invites you to partake in a truly magical getaway. Once you step through the majestic archway at its entrance, the villa transports you directly to the Himalayas to discover the most sumptuous wonders of Tibetan civilization.

Early explorers report that Tibetans mined gold dust by stirring the soil with gazelle horns. Gold is found here within the mosaics of a supernatural swimming pool and the large murals of Tara the Benevolent, all under an ornate, temple-like ceiling from which a movie screen extends. With psychedelic colours that change constantly, this palace is dedicated to stylish artistic baths, featuring a jacuzzi and steam room. A lounge bar is equipped with large chairs covered in a white coat and crystal stalactites that lift the spirit to those snowy peaks.

On the second floor, accessible by stairs or elevator, the main lounge bar features a splendid black velvet bench that extends around a library table. The room opens onto a terrace with a table for 8 people and heated chairs, a mini bar and outdoor kitchen, and a magical view of the village and mountain.

Behind the stone hearth is a dining table for 14 guests along with chairs in majestic undulating curves. A second movie screen, discretely tucked away in the beams, separates the living and dining room as needed.

In the basement, enjoy two massage rooms, a beauty treatment room, fully equipped gym, games room with billiards and arcade, and small office. A tasting room and wine and cheese cellar are stocked with tasty treats.

The 6 bedrooms and their respective bathrooms are located on the first floor in a world of raw wood, mandalas and refined Asian décor. Two of them, including the master bedroom, open onto a balcony with a beautiful view of the mountain. The master bathroom features a rain shower and bathtub carved directly into the stone.
