In The Alps: A Snowy Playground On The Slopes Of Sunny Valley

These opulent and intimate chalets in the French Alps feel like luxurious residences with their picturesque views, lavish interiors, and premium services.

With 13 ski-in and ski-out residences, guests can enjoy their stay at exclusive luxury cabins that offer five-star service from a bevy of butlers, chauffeurs, and more, as well as stunning views of forested mountains and immaculate slopes on Sunny Valley in France, which rests at an altitude of 1750.

The resort’s location also places it a short journey away from the famous 1850 and 1650’s restaurant scene and the edge of La Rosière Forest. Around the resort, guests can easily spend their day skiing and relaxing through the resort’s world-class spas, private chef experiences, and the serene in-between with bubbling outdoor pools and atmospheric fitness rooms. 

SUPERB DESTINATION 

It’s the perfect place to take a family or a group of friends looking to enjoy a snowy holiday. Each residence is a destination in and of itself and houses four or five bedrooms made to sleep eight to ten people.

SPECTACULAR VIEWS 

The Prestige Residence is the perfect four-bedroom suite for eager skiers. Sitting closest to the Belvédère slopes, guests get a great view of the action watching skiers glide down and seeing lifts go by overhead. The same view turns satisfying at night when piste bashers groom the slopes to perfection for another fresh day of skiing. The top floor opens to the terrace area directly connected to a slope and a dedicated butler will place your equipment where it needs to be so you’re conveniently ready to go.

If you’re interested in facing the mountains and witnessing marvelous views of nature from an outdoor terrace, the Signature Residences offer guests a wonderful experience. The four-bedroom suite is minutes away from the slope and also offers ski-in and ski-out access through the in-house ski store.
