Chalet Norma in Megeve, France

New York loft chic meets traditional alpine elegance. That’s how we sum up a stay at the chalet in Megeve. If you like the finer things in life and notice the devil in the luxurious detail, then you’ll be right at home in this state-of-the-art chalet, located at the heart of this postcard-worthy French ski village. Situated in a unique position on the plateau d’Arbois (literally meaning ‘plateau of trees’) with stunning mountain views, the chalet has been expertly refurbished to the highest standards. Offered across two floors, along with a mezzanine, the authenticity of its farmhouse background has been effortlessly combined with a loft-style renovation. With large windows on every side, there’s a huge double height Great Room with a majestic roaring fire and four guest bedrooms and further mezzanine area, all overlooking a pretty garden. The piece de resistance is a magnificent Bulthaup kitchen – an excellent backdrop to the dinners you will take in the open-plan dining area. A uniquely carved staircase leads up to the mezzanine, with a large television, along with plenty of DVDs and a trendy Bang & Olufsen sound system. When weary from your day, relax in full-service luxury back at the chalet. With a beautiful interior design of muted colours and cosy fabrics, the chalet welcomes up to eight guests, with daily maid service and luxury bath and beauty products. There’s a private chef available if you require and a full team of staff on hand for every eventuality – masseuse, ski instructor, hairdresser, you name it. You can plan an itinerary to suit everyone in your group for a getaway to remember. The chalet is a secret gem in a beautiful setting that you won’t want to leave. Just don’t forget to take advantage of those surroundings while you’re there – enjoy the mountain!
