Chalet Le Rocher, Val d’Isere, France
The grande-dame of luxury alpine ski chalets located at the very end of its own private drive, Chalet Le Rocher is a vast, 1,000 sqm. property boasting vaulted ceilings in the uber-smart salon. Exquisite chandeliers, a roaring log fire and chic black and white cowhide sofas provide a sumptuous, yet cool and sophisticated living space.
Each of the seven bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom and the lavish master suite offers his and hers dressing rooms with exceptional, far-reaching alpine views.
Why venture out into the cold when the chalet’s very own chef can prepare a banquet, served on the vast solid oak dining table. This super-luxe chalet also offers guests an indoor swimming pool, a steam room, an outdoor hot tub, a gym and a solarium. Our favourite touch is the ski room complete with boot-warmers. Genius!
