Luxury ski chalets, France: fairytale chalets in the French Alps

A French Alps holiday is an escape to a different world: where travel is done on a vertical axis instead of horizontal; where the landscape is brightened and softened by sheets of white. The air feels clearer and the sun seems to shine brighter in this mountainous idyll, and, by night, the quaint towns and villages that tumble into the valleys become aglow.

It is difficult to think of a setting more picturesque yet daunting at the same time. The Alps are both inviting and hostile; extreme climates and terrain have the effect of making one appreciate natural splendour. All this hardiness, though, is offset by the sumptuousness of life in luxury ski resorts. The combination of these factors makes the French Alps one of the ultimate luxury holiday destinations. 

With Le Collectionist, your luxury ski holiday will be made complete, whether you are travelling to Val d'Isère or Mègeve, with friends or family. A chalet in the Alps is perhaps the closest thing you will get to the fantastical. It is a region that has doubtlessly been the inspiration for many a fairytale. These luxury ski chalets in France will fit your wishes like a glove, a tailor-made fit allowing you to realise your dream holidays. 

Chalet Eugénia, Mègeve

The interior of this chalet is simply a work of art. A perfect mix between a contemporary and a savoyard design, Chalet Eugénia gives off New York penthouse vibes thanks to its high ceiling and huge windows.

The chalet is situated ten minutes from Mègeve village, one of our favourite French ski resorts, on the private area at the foot of Mont d'Arbois. But worry not! The chauffeur is ready to whisk you away to the village at a moment's notice. It is peaceful with sweeping views of sky-piercing mountaintops and perennially deepening valleys. The large windows allow you to immerse in the landscape without rendering you vulnerable to its elements. 

After a day on the slopes, sink into the soothing waters of the hot tub, or put your feet up for a film viewing in the home cinema while the chef prepares dinner. Or, for the intrepid souls, arrange a day of leading a pack of dogs across the landscape

Chalet Orca, Val d'Isère

Furs and fine materials, a crackling fire and an astonishing view of the fir trees and the majestic peaks: the ambience here is warm, wintery, recalling memories of beloved holidays in the Alps. Enjoy the chef’s delectable dinners, evenings in the jacuzzi and in the heated pool and days full of adventures on the slopes a few minutes’ walk away.

Chalet Orca is set slightly aback from the main town, offering serenity to its fortunate inhabitants. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the sitting room look more like an art installation, allowing you to contemplate the majesty of Alpine peaks. Cleanse yourself in the steam room before jovially challenging family or friends to a game of billiards in the sleek games room.

Chalet Sisimiut, Courchevel

Geometric patterned-floors, walls covered in cowhide and countless other trinkets: this cabinet of curiosities is a work of art. From the outside, it does not bear the appearance of extravagance or flamboyance: its two-tone wooden walls are different, but still somewhat understated in its modern take on Alpine architecture. Once entering, however, this chalet is an endless excitement, an emporium of quirks to pique the interests of design enthusiasts and children alike.

Chalet Sisimuit's pool, its water's a green and blue hue like a clear forest stream skirting over mossy rocks, debouches from the canopy of the chalet into the open mountain air. Lap up the views from the warmth of the heated water. The city centre is within walking distance, making the ski lifts and ski hire all very accessible for your stay.
