DEEP NATURE RESORTS CHAMONIX - © DEEP NATURE RESORTS CHAMONIX

Would you like to be in the heart of a chalet with natural charm and in perfect harmony with nature, for a different vision of a stay in total disconnection, in the heart of the Mont Blanc range? Choose one out of the 11 Deep Nature Resorts chalets, designed by architect Bernard Ferrarire.
We love the spaciousness, the serene and hushed atmosphere, with the omnipresent backdrop of the Alpine landscape through the large bay windows. Perched on the heights of Chamonix, you can see the Aiguille du Midi and the Goûter without limit.
Deep Nature Resorts Chamonix is also a wellness destination in its own right. With its line of remineralizing cosmetics, don't miss the pleasures of body and face care, and complete your relaxation with Nordic baths on the terrace, the hammam, the sauna and the jacuzzi. And, on reservation, yoga classes!
A total rejuvenation and does not forget the pleasure of the taste with a bistronomic table!

The Ubud chalet in Tignes les Brevières: a touch of exoticism in the heart of Mont Blanc

Dinning room - © Chalet Carte Blanche Ubud

Designed by Mickael Amar Mériguet, the Ubud chalet seduces with its shimmering and comforting colours, its cocooning atmosphere, very enveloping, with a touch of exoticism straight from Indonesia. We love the vast rooms and even more so, their bathroom where we take pleasure in basking in the warm waters of a natural stone bathtub. A pleasure for the senses that you can extend in the spa (jacuzzi, sauna, swimming pool, massages, treatments...) which gives you the impression of travelling to Bali.
Unless you prefer to go and read, or simply relax by the fire, with the incredible feeling of being in the heart of an Indonesian oasis.
For your taste buds: fish ceviche, lamb shoulder confit, semi-cooked foie gras terrine, buddha bowl, raclette... the restaurant is full of refined dishes.
And don't worry about a thing: the concierge service takes care of everything, even taking you to the ski lifts in just 3 minutes!
An unusual address in the heart of the mountain, where the gentleness, friendliness and quality of service will leave you spellbound.

From 10000 €, from 23/01/2023 to 28/01/2023 for 5 nights. The chalet has 6 rooms / 14 people

Villa Eraldo: an exceptional cocooning chalet in Megève

Room - © VILLA ERALDO

Villa Eraldo is the first and foremost the Elite collection of LC BESPOKE: a selection of unique properties and favourite places in exceptional destinations. The one in Megève, which includes two 430m2 chalets on three floors, is indeed one of them!
Its terraces, its open spaces, its beautiful architectural lines and its unobstructed views: from the outset we love this chic and simple villa. Inside, the decoration is made of wood, contemporary furniture and warm tones enhanced by blue tones. Sober, chic, cocooning: elegance itself. We love these spacious rooms where we feel enveloped, and where each corner of the chalet has its own atmosphere.
The ground floor, with direct access to a beautiful terrace, welcomes you with its large reception room, its intimate fireplace room, its dining room and a superb kitchen that invites sharing, which makes you feel at home. And so well received with a gourmet basket of charcuterie, cheeses and... a Ruinart champagne.
Upstairs, you can stroll in your suite with a balcony or in the library overlooking the Mont Jaillet. There is no shortage of suites! The ground floor suite with its access to the terrace invites you to relax, and the garden level room, more intimate with access to the terrace, is just waiting for you. All the rooms have that cosy character of taupe and wood tones where you like to curl up.
Villa Elrado is pleasure at your fingertips. Watch a film in the cinema, get fit in the gym, relax in the pool, massage room or sauna.
For gourmet pleasures, we prepare your breakfasts on request and we even offer you a private chef for lunch and dinner according to your wishes for an authentic refined traditional meal or to discover the flavours of the world. For wine lovers, the Villa organises tastings and dinners in the company of sommeliers, visits to vineyards, and the wine list available in the chalet will seduce the most discerning palates!
Concierge services: guide, ski instructor, helicopter, chef, baby-sitter, event organisation, airport transfer...

Chalet Karavi: a favourite family address in the Aravis massif

Here, you are first and foremost welcomed by a family where, for four generations, it is the women who have made the Chalet-Hotel de la Croix-Fry (in the Aravis massif with La Clusaz) their excellent reputation.

Inaugurated in 2020, the Karavi chalet, built by local craftsmen who love old wood, bears the values that have made the reputation of La Croix-Fry: well-designed spaces, an authentic décor and a quality of service that is sensitive to the slightest detail, from the choice of fabrics to the choice of crockery. You feel so comfortable, so cosy, with the breathtaking view of the Aravis mountains.

We love the simple, no-frills, family-style furnishings that make you feel "at home", in an intimate cocoon. The four rooms with a bed and breakfast atmosphere are absolutely charming.
The icing on the cake is the jacuzzi installed on your terrace to relax while enjoying the view of the mountains. You will also have access to the hotel's Spa and its heated outdoor swimming pool.

To treat yourself, each morning, pastries are left at the door of your chalet. And for your meals, the chalet offers you the possibility of a catering service and the famous table of Marie-Ange Veyrat who has taken over with talent the stoves of Marc Veyrat, a three-starred chef.

A beautiful family address where excellence and simple luxury are the order of the day.
