Voted No. 1 by The Times as the coolest chalet on the slopes for 2012, this superb six bedroom mountain chalet offers the very best views in The Alps and a unique boutique interior. "A luxurious, cleverly designed bespoke chalet for holiday rentals in the French Alps which has enough drama and glamour to match its illustrious neighbour, Mont Blanc". Combining bold architecture and a dynamic interior style with a knockout location, Chalet Cragganmore is one of the most striking contemporary homes in the French Alps.
The six bedroom chalet has been designed to soak in the dramatic mountain views with extensive glazing, and with a palette of materials that echoes the majestic setting, including exposed timber finishes and rough-hewn natural stone. Every room in this house exudes comfort and exquisite style, combining bespoke lighting features with a mix of contemporary furnishings and modern.
The chalet's unique architectural design is a far cry from the typical Swiss style and the interior has been designed in the same spirit. There are no antlers, gingham blankets instead you will find textures, contemporary designer furniture and colours that work in both summer and winter, all of which have been carefully chosen. Each room has it's own personality and the chalet is truly unique in it's boutique interior and has been featured heavily within the press.
Located by the golf course, Chalet Cragganmore is ideally situated for accessing the valley ski areas, conveniently only 1 minute away from Flegere, a 5 minute drive to Argentiere and 10 minutes to Le Tour. For those wishing to end the day with a little ‘apres ski’, your chauffeur will gladly take you to one (or some!) of the many lively bars in Chamonix town, just 4 minutes away.
The town of Chamonix with its pedestrianised cobbled streets and squares, beautiful buildings and fast running river has an excellent choice of quality shops, boutiques,cafes,bars,restaurants,clubs, casino and a Saturday market that should not be missed.

Majestic Mont Blanc, one of the world’s natural wonders dominates the area. Chamonix is an ancient mountain town with a stylish atmosphere and a blend of French charm, varied skiing and modern facilities that few other Alpine resorts can match. People return time after time and always discover something new.
The ski resort Chamonix with its pedestrianized cobbled streets and squares, beautiful buildings and fast running river has an excellent choice of quality shops, boutiques, cafes, bars, restaurants, clubs, casino and a Saturday market that should not be missed. Chamonix offers a wide range of outdoor activities; from skiing and snowboarding to hiking and biking, and much more.
Chamonix is also a mecca for mountaineering and climbing. The skiing resort has an attractive, bustling old town centre, and the smaller, quieter ski villages of Argentière, Les Houches and Vallorcine offer a different style of resort life.
Around 5pm, the Après-Ski starts with many options, such as the Chambre Neuf Bar, the Jekyll and Hyde pub, Bar du Moulin, La Cantina and the bar d’UP. Very popular bars are Folie Douce, Elevation 1904 where you can have cocktails, you also will find a huge selection of beers. From a culinary point of view, Chamonix is not a blank slate either. Enjoy a menu at the Atmosphere restaurant in the city centre (traditional Savoyard cuisine) or be seduced by the Italian delicacies of the Tuscan chef Auro Bucci at the L'Impossible restaurant.
The undisputed best restaurant in Chamonix is the Michelin-starred restaurant Albert 1er. We also recommend dining at restaurant Le Sérac (1 Michelin star) in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, only 13 kilometres distance to Chamonix.
