6 bedroom house

Rarely available Savoyard chalet in an elevated position with far reaching viewings over Val d’Isère

Chalet du Sommet was built in 2000 by Val d’Isère’s renowned developer Michel Covarel and is situated in an elevated south-facing position in an exclusive and tranquil hamlet. The chalet is without doubt one of Val d’Isère’s finest and benefits from fabulous mountain views across the village towards Solaise and long periods of sunshine.

Built with meticulous detail and in a traditional alpine style with stone and exposed 200 year old wood, the property offers a wealth of luxurious fittings, hand crafted carpentry and spacious bedroom and living accommodation. There are six bedrooms in total, four spacious en-suite doubles, one bunk room and studio (with kitchenette). The living accommodation includes an open-kitchen and dining area, and fabulous separate living room with exposed woodwork and beams. This room has access to a south-facing terrace with panoramic views across the resort.

Amenities in Chalet du Sommet are exceptional with an indoor swimming pool, steam room and spa area. In addition, there is a cinema room with surround sound speaker system. There is also very high speed internet access and Sonos throughout. The chalet is equipped with CCTV, intruder and smoke alarm system.

The property is accessed by a private driveway which sweeps down to the lower level, where there is external parking for several cars. On the second floor there is an integral garage with space for two cars and plenty of storage, and also the main entrance to the chalet.

The chalet is situated in a very quiet and private location.
