Chalet Des Cristaux / Chamonix

Chalet Des Cristaux in Chamonix is a one-of-a-kind holiday home at the foot of Mont Blanc. The luxury chalet, which is also available for summer holidays, is situated within an easy walk of Les Houches ski area, offering a captivating Alpine experience for up to ten guests across its four bedrooms. 

It boasts an indoor swimming pool with accompanying bar and lounge areas, an outdoor jacuzzi set amidst a scenic garden offering breathtaking mountain views, a unique sauna housed in a separate "mazot" or small chalet, and a generous cinema and playroom equipped with a PlayStation and arcade games. A notable feature of the swimming pool is its adaptable hydraulic floor, enabling customization of depth or conversion into a dance floor, providing ideal entertainment options post-dinner.

Spread over 3 floors and with 350sqm it is decorated with exquisite taste and style. Special attention has been given to lighting all through the chalet and this contributes to creating the right ambiances all through the day. The large living room with its 5 metres high vaulted ceiling houses an imposing central fireplace with a traditional wood constructed hood, a 4-side see-through foyer and a Mont Blanc granite stone base. Its large bay windows let a lot of natural light in and give an even more impressive sense of space, allowing different atmospheres that change with the different times of the day. After a day on the slopes, the living area becomes the perfect spot for family gatherings, where one can unwind with a glass of wine before dinner. The carefully chosen textiles that dress up the place are made of exquisite wool, felt and assorted linen, harmoniously matching the overall decor.

The space is completed with spectacular furnishing and accessories. Nothing was spared in terms of technology and the underfloor heating that self-regulates itself in the whole chalet largely contributes to the overall feeling of comfort offered by this unique property. Next to the living room is a dedicated media/TV room with large TV screen. Teenagers will also enjoy rediscovering arcade games on the Neo Legend terminal (arcade 2.0) or the many classic board games or even play a game on the football table.

The dining area has a large table made of oak and stone, placed in the continuity of a kitchen island, allowing to configure the space in many ways. There again, all was well studied and the fully equipped kitchen is discrete, functional and beautiful at the same time, offering an amazing space for your private chef to prepare your favourite meals.

All bedrooms are set in a modern decor of wood and local stone, inspired by the mountains, with custom-made furniture in the same spirit. Each bedroom has its own TV, private shower room and Japanese toilet. Towels, bathrobes and shower products are at your disposal for your comfort.

On the ground level, a spacious room overlooking the garden greets you. Initially resembling a tranquil lounge area with decorative Buddhas from Cambodia, inviting pouffes, and a small bar, it transforms seamlessly into an immersive experience. A fully glazed section, complete with dynamic sounds and lights, unfolds into a dance floor for lively party evenings. Press a button, and the surprise reaches its zenith as the dance floor vanishes, revealing an adjustable-depth swimming pool (with depths up to 1.80m) equipped with a current swimming system.

Venturing outdoors, direct access leads you to a Nordic hot tub—an ideal relaxation haven for soothing muscles after a day in the mountains. Adjacent to it stands an independent "mazot" (small chalet), housing a sauna with cutting-edge equipment.

In essence, Chalet des Cristaux distinguishes itself as a distinctive luxury holiday retreat in the French Alps, providing an exceptional experience for families. Situated at the foot of Mont-Blanc, this chalet guarantees an unforgettable mountain escape, be it amidst the enchanting winter or the lively summer seasons.
