Show allPerched on the trail up to the Prarion Mountain, the chalet enjoys fabulous views over the village of St. Gervais and the imposing Chaine D’Aravis mountains.
The house is off the beaten track and in the middle of glorious mountain scenery.
The façade of the chalet has been restored with antique Alpine timbers and stonework to preserve as much as possible its original look.
Inside, old world wood and furs, stoves and bathtubs have been given a quirky modern spin to create a romantic sanctuary.
The open-plan kitchen is equipped with Nespresso coffee machine, double Miele oven, gas hob, toaster and basic pantry items.
On the ground floor are also located a dining area with large wooden table and a living room equipped with a good selection of books, games and DVDs.
There is a sofa-bed in the living room for two additional guests, if needed.
The property is composed by two bedrooms, one located in the former hayloft with a free-standing copper bath, and a lime-washed master bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor.
The chalet has a bio-ethanol fireplace in the master bedroom suite, a revolving wood-burning stove in the living area and additional heating, including underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
There’s also a wood-clad hot tub, perfect for romantic winter evenings.
