Chalet Trisha in Megeve, France

A peaceful retreat with a modern rustic feel, this luxury ski chalet in Megeve makes for a beautiful bolthole for a large group of family or friends.

Nestled in the upmarket Mont d’Arbois area, just outside Megeve itself, the chalet has a real sense of peace and intimacy, with stunning views of the peaks of Mont d’Arbois and Mont Joux. Ski-wise, it’s a great location for a big group holiday as there are runs to suit all levels of skier nearby. And there’s plenty to do for those who are here for the après more than the ski, too.

The chalet itself is spacious and airy, offering more than 1,000 square metres of space, spread over five floors. Each of the bedrooms, including a children’s dormitory, is beautifully designed with super-comfy beds and lots of thoughtful extras to ensure your comfort is always a priority. The master suite up in the roof has its own balcony, and study space, giving its occupants a private space to escape to with wonderful views.

A modern rustic feel pervades throughout, with rich woods, neutral colours and plenty of textured fabrics, from slubby sofas to stacks of faux fur throws to snuggle up to and cuddle under on snowy afternoons. Whether you’re gathered around the intimate dining table together enjoying fabulous foods and fine wines from the chalet’s own cellar, or sprawling on the sofas in front of the roaring fire, catching up on all the day’s events, there’s always a warm and welcoming atmosphere here.

And that feeling of cosiness and being cosseted extends to your wellbeing, too. The chalet has a private spa and wellness area, with a huge indoor swimming pool with adjustable depth, as well as a sauna, Hammam and massage room. So whether you want to keep fit while you’re away or simply sit and enjoy the very bones of you being warmed in a sauna, or having every muscle in your body massaged into submission, a few hours here are sure to be a treat for both body and soul. The chalet also boasts an additional outdoor swimming pool which is available during the summer months.

On cosy evenings in, you might like to make the most of the entertainment rooms, or simply sit by the fire, or wander out onto the balconies to take in the amazing mountain views. The chalet is a truly magical retreat that you’ll remember forever.
