back to top The top floor
The entire top floor, previously the hay barn, is open plan and the sheer space and volume is enhanced by the high ceiling of historic exposed rafters and entire glass wall that invites you to look down and admire the whole valley.
The area is so easy to move around and inviting that it is difficult to know where to explore first but the naturally intelligent lay-out draws you to the different areas at different times of the day.
back to top The Fireplace
With virtually the whole wall windowed the original fireplace crackling and deep comfortable sofas for all, this is the perfect area to wind down after a long days skiing and tell increasingly wild stories about the day's adventures
back to top The Dining area
A simple but very elegant old farmhouse table contrasts beautifully with the 70s style chairs and is conveniently positioned to be close to the kitchen and at the same time benefit from the quite extraodinary views over the valley as the sun is both rising and setting
back to top The Kitchen
A very well equiped and social kitchen with lots of preparation surfaces and a convenient kidney shaped breakfast bar provides a perfect location to both cook and for your guests to enjoy each others company.
back to top Separate TV room
Tucked away under the rafters on the ground floor this is a really well equiped TV room with great sound, ambient lighting and comfortable chairs and sofas where everyone can enjoy a movie or the gaming.
back to top Master bedroom 1
This room gets the sun in the morning and with its open plan bathroom and elegant fittings is my favorite room in the house. Sleeping well here has got to be a certainty.
back to top Master bathroom 1
Combining modern elegance and giant shower heads with old skis and original tiles does not always provide as good a result as this.
back to top Master Bedroom 2
The owners' preferred bedroom is the grandest in the chalet but still maintains its original farmhouse feel.
back to top Master Bathroom 2
Somehow the angle of the photo manages to make this elegant and very stylised bath look the size of a tea cup! However no photo would do true justice to this simple yet grand bathroom.
back to top Family room with fireplace
With a fire crackling in the grate of the central fireplace and an extra bed this room can be used as either an uncommonly large suite or an ideal family room.
back to top Twin room
This room is great, there is not one straight wall nor line, the door and the frame, although not dated, look and feel like originals.
back to top Extra bath/shower and pill box sauna room
Although small, the sauna is actually very cute and functional with a shower that uses the natural wall as a feature.
back to top Double bedroom 1 with en suite
A very light and airy room that can be separated into a twin with a convenient and unique bathroom easily at hand.
back to top Double bathroom 1
An unique and really special bathroom that uses preserved branches from the garden to decorate the wall.
back to top Double bedroom 2
A hugely comfortable double bed and elegant fittings makes this a wonderfully appointed room.
back to top Double bathroom 2
This bathroom has a lovely cosy feel. The back wall is the cut and exposed mountain-side.
back to top Original farm downstairs
Not only is it a pleasure to appreciate the centuries of use this building had as a farmhouse but also the effort it has taken to rescue it from decades of disrepair while retaining all the charm and character of he original features.
back to top Atmosphere
We simply love spending time in this chalet.
The history of it is everywhere you look with original door frames, beams and stonework combining harmoniously with the fresh renovation to create supreme elegance and comfort in every room.
To complete this the owners have spent enormous time and effort in countless markets and antique stores to find the right pieces for each room.
Simply stunning.
