Description
In a stunning setting in the Chamonix Valley, this jewel of a chalet offers beautiful accommodation alongside a high-end level of service, with a ski-in ski-out location at the foot of one of the region’s most famous pistes.
As you are greeted on arrival with a glass of champagne, this sets the scene for your days ahead. Gather in the open-plan living space, admire its contemporary elegance and gaze out towards the snow-capped mountains that are perfectly framed by the floor to ceiling windows.
The hospitality at Chalet Saphir is second to none – imagine returning to your chalet for warm drinks and afternoon cakes by the open fire, then being served a high quality three-course evening meal with fine wines on the long dining table. A delicious breakfast is also prepared each morning and bathrooms are cleaned six days a week, allowing you to sit back and relax during your time in this stylish abode.
A fantastic chalet for families or friends, there are flexible sleeping options across the ground and upper floors ranging from a spacious family room with bunk-beds to six welcoming double or twin bedrooms, most with en suite bath or shower rooms.
Other ultramodern features include two contemporary kitchens (one with incredible views), underfloor heating, a Sonos music system and of course Wi-Fi throughout. The beautifully designed sauna is yet another treat or experience more alpine luxury in the outdoor hot tub on the lower decked terrace.
Set in Les Houches, a popular skiing area around 8km from Chamonix, you are within walking distance to shops and restaurants whilst even closer is a ski-lift and cable car, making this a perfect location in so many ways. Les Houches offers a variety of runs, including the renowned Kandahar piste as well as more leisurely slopes through charming woodland, always surrounded by spectacular scenery. There are also some great options for families with an enchanting snow park and sledging.
Shuttles buses will whisk you towards other skiing spots close to Chamonix and beyond, even across the Italian border to Courmayeur, just 25km away.
