Voted 'The World's Best New Ski Chalet' in the World Ski Awards when it opened in 2019, Le Chalet Mont Blanc set a new standard in understated luxury, which it maintains today. This is a huge chalet, with 12 bedrooms, masses of entertaining space and simply staggering views across the valley to Mont Blanc.
Le Chalet Mont Blanc has been aptly named. It's position is remarkable, peacefully perched close to the small 'hameau' of Coupeau outside Chamonix. A narrow road winds its way up the steep slopes from the valley until you find the chalet in a dramatic rural position amidst fields and forest, where deer, ibex, and chamois are seen drinking from the stream or bathing in the waterfall. In summer, cows and sheep graze the pastures, accompanied by the gentle percussive soundtrack of cow bells.
If the less than one hour drive from Geneva is too much, there is a helipad to speed your transfer; useful if you come for a long weekend or for a business off-site.
The chalet's position is extraordinary. A short hop down to Chamonix in one of the chalet's two 4wd Mercedes - with all that this Alpine town has to offer from extreme skiing to Michelin-starred restaurants and nightclubs - here, you are at one with nature enjoying unspoilt views of Europe's highest mountain from the vast terrace and from almost every room. Sunrise and sunsets are celebrated, with the mountains bathed in a rose gold hue each evening.
The Best Chalet in Chamonix
At 1,000 m2, the sheer size of Le Chalet Mont Blanc takes your breath away, and lends itself to large family gatherings, special celebrations and business off-sites, with every possible service available and every whim indulged.
Spread over 5 floors (with a lift for accessibility), the chalet offers 12 en-suite bedrooms and can accommodate up to 26 guests, with further space for staff on the lower floor. Each bedroom is en-suite, with either a south-facing balcony or private terrace to take in the extraordinary views. One has bunk beds for children.
On the top two floors you will find the duplex Penthouse Suite, with a huge lounge and its own dining room which can accommodate up to 26 people, served from its own professional kitchen. There are two master bedrooms and four en-suite double bedrooms, a tv room and a library.
Executive Suite One offers 3 bedrooms: two are doubles and one with bunk beds for up to 4 children, plus a living room, kitchen and cinema room.
Executive Suite Two is similar with four bedrooms and an open plan living room and kitchen.
The Wellness Centre is on the ground floor and combines a beautiful pool, with swim-against jets for those who like more of a challenge and jacuzzi jets, an incredible sauna, therapy/massage room and a fully equipped gym. Beauty products are by Hermés.
The panoramic views from the pool are just incredible through its full width feature window.
There are games rooms with pool, table football and a cinema, which can also be used for business meetings. Seriously, nothing you would want for, isn't here or couldn't be provided. There is a well-stocked wine cellar with a champagne station by Ruinart, as you would expect.
The private chef has a Michelin-starred CV and caters for every taste with only the freshest and finest organic ingredients used in the super sleek kitchen. The open plan dining room again features panoramic views across the valley from the 5m long dining table, made from Burgundian oak and designed by Victoria Wilmotte. Original artworks are by Matteo Gonet.
