Chalet Face A Face, Val d'Isere, France

It is little surprise that Chalet Face a Face in Val d'Isere was in 2021 (soon after its completion) awarded the winner of 'World's Best New Ski Chalet' in the World Ski Awards. It offers an unbeatable ski in ski out location on the gentle slopes above the resort centre as well as a sensational blend of traditional alpine-inspired architecture and stunning modern interior design.

380 square metres of interior space offers no less than six guest bedrooms as well as superb, elevated views over the resort centre and towards the Bellevarde Mountain with its world-famous Face black slope in full view of the chalet's terrace.

The lower ground floor offers one of the highlights of the property - a superb spa and well-being area. With a small indoor swimming pool, steam shower, sauna plus massage and yoga area, the spa is the ideal place to indulge in self-care. It has been beautifully finished with a combination of aged wood and stone, creating a wonderfully relaxing ambience. Also located on this floor is the dedicated cinema room with its massive flat screen Smart TV and state-of-the art surround sound system.

The chalet's stunning open plan kitchen, living and dining area is located on the top floor allowing it to make the most of the fantastic views. This beautiful room has been designed to create a welcoming, warm and relaxing entertainment space, combining striking interior architecture with chic furniture and fabrics. Add to that the contemporary hanging fireplace and sumptuous furnishings and this communal space really raises the bar on luxurious alpine living. The dining area is a fabulous setting for elegant evening meals, with statement pendant lighting and large dining table that can seat ten guests.

Finally, there is an upper mezzanine floor which overlooks the sitting room below and offers a separate cosy TV snug. This is the perfect space for children to enjoy a movie night after dinner with large, comfortable beanbags scattered across the floor.
