Offering guests an enticing mix of traditional mountain design and modern style, this chic three-bedroom apartment is the perfect family-friendly mountain escape. Whether you're visiting in the depths of winter in search of virgin powder or stopping off in the summer for breathtaking hikes and bone-shaking mountain bike trails, it's a true four-season escape.

While you won't find the ancient, gnarled beams of some of the vast chalets in this upscale French resort, its wood-clad walls pair perfectly with the mid-century-style furnishings and faux animal fur. The open layout provides a sociable sanctuary out of the elements. When the sun's shining, you're welcome to make the most of the spacious decking equipped with Acapulco chairs and a bubbling hot tub. Moreover, each of the three welcoming bedrooms offers its guests direct access to the deck, ideal for rushing back inside after a wintry dip in the water.

The apartment's location in Courchevel Moriond (formerly 1650) ensures easy access to some of the finest skiing in the French Alps, in the form of the titanic Les Trois Vallées. Meanwhile, the fact it's on the edge of this area means that the slopes are often quieter. After an adrenaline-fuelled day on the mountain, Moriond is known for its vibrant après-ski scene. In addition, it offers a variety of restaurants serving everything from homemade burgers to haute cuisine.

Boasting breath-taking views of the snow-capped Alps, this cosy, chalet-style apartment is what mountain escapes are all about. You’re within easy reach of the slopes here, but with so many on-site amenities at your fingertips, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to stay in. Go for a dip in the heated pool, keep cosy with a session in the communal sauna, or simply sit back and relax in the downstairs lounge. Then, when it’s time to eat, head back upstairs to your rustic home from home, where you’ll find everything you need to whip up a hearty, evening meal. Delish. 

If you do fancy getting out and about, you’ll be pleased to hear that you’re perfectly placed for exploring all that Alpe d’Huez has to offer. Grab your equipment from the ski room and set off for the slopes or settle in at one of the local bars and treat yourself to glass or two of warming mulled wine. And, if you fancy soaking up more of the gorgeous scenery, there’s a Ferris wheel nearby offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. What more could you ask for?

Situated in the charming village of Chantemerle, this apartment is just a three-minute walk from the gondola linking you to Serre Chevalier’s spectacular 250 kilometres of piste. There’s also a footpath, for all building residents, which leads to River Guisane – perfect for a stroll. In fact, the large living room overlooks a larch forest and the river beyond. We love the vistas of the piste from the southwest-facing balcony. If you need to work from home, there’s a workspace here too.

Snowy Luxury

Imagine opening your door onto breathtaking mountain views, clear skies and expansive forests. In Argentière, this beautiful home has been lovingly curated to bring this vision to life. 

Featuring all the elements of a traditional Alpine stay, the soft tones and wooden interiors sit in perfect harmony with the natural beauty that surrounds this home. You could while away hours simply admiring the stunning views from the balcony or living area. But it will be hard to resist the fun that awaits outdoors. 

This home is a gateway to the majestic Chamonix-Mont-Blanc region, where adventurers come to ski, hike, mountain bike or simply enjoy this location. The closest ski lifts are within five-minutes walk and the centre of Argentière is only eight-minutes on foot. You’ll love the laid-back and rustic charm of this village. After a day exploring mountain paths, enjoy a heart-warming drink at a local bar.

Whether you’re here for a natural high or to relax and unwind, this home makes the perfect setting to experience the best of Alpine living.

Lovingly renovated in 2020, this home in the heart of the Val d’Arly has both charm and location on its side. You don’t have to look far to find proof of the enviable position – simply wander out onto the balcony and you’ll spot the rolling green mountain there as confirmation. But it isn’t just about the views either, not when the ski slopes of Les Evettes are a mere 1.8 miles away and can be reached via the free shuttles that run in season. Get on the snow and test your mettle on the different ski runs, before coming back for a warming Après-ski drink on the balcony. 

The mix of natural wood and a light colour palette makes this home feel incredibly cosy and we can imagine ourselves curling up on the couch in thick socks and a slouchy jumper. Enjoy cups of coffee as you socialise in the lounge, or carve out some you-time by getting your nose in a novel. 

With ample windows, the home is not only bright and inviting, but it means you get to keep an eye on the view even when you’re having a meal at the dining table, or settling in to watch a movie together.

It may be perfectly set up for a skiing holiday, but it’ll tend just as nicely to a nature lover’s green spirit whilst giving the whole group a space in which to relax and rejuvenate. 

The Snowy Villager

Safe

This cosy chalet, with its own private garden and dining area, is the perfect getaway for both summer and winter holidays in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Start each morning with a cup of coffee alfresco as the crisp, fresh air wakes you up and gets you ready for a day full of adventures. Located just nine minutes away from the nearest ski resort, you can grab your equipment from the home’s dedicated ski storage room and be hitting the slopes in no time.

Why not explore the beautiful central Chamonix – a short ten-minute drive away or head to Le Bossons Glacier, reachable by car within thirteen minutes, and enjoy the breath-taking beauty of the views on offer? For more adventurous activities, tree-top climbing and a rock climbing crag in Lac des Gaillards are both only five minutes away by car, while horse riding is also on offer and can be reached in eleven minutes from this home. 

In the evening, we would love nothing more than to snuggle up in the warmth of this cabin and admire the snowy mountain views outside. Or, curl up on the sofa with a good book from the bookcase.

Right in the heart of France's Three Valleys lies Courchevel, one of the most famous ski resorts in the Alps. Powder fresh pistes, miles and miles of ski runs and one of the longest ski seasons in the area will impress those keen to hit the slopes. You'll find this apartment in the village, just a stone's throw from lifts, gourmet restaurants and eateries. As far as locales go, you can't beat it.

When you're not exploring this idyllic corner of the Alps, make yourself comfortable back at home. Ditch your gear in the on-site ski locker, then relax sore muscles with a session in the shared sauna or a yoga lesson. The balcony is actually our favourite spot – the snow-capped mountain view is incredibly hard to resist. Regardless of the weather, we think it's the ideal backdrop for sunset glasses of French wine and steaming mugs of hot chocolate – sounds postcard-perfect to us.

Inside, the chalet-chic design evokes that warm and homey feeling as soon as you step inside – picture wood-clad walls, faux fur throws and a gleaming contemporary kitchen that's a dream for whipping up family feasts. There are catering options available here, too – whether you fancy pre-made breakfasts, Michelin-starred dinners delivered straight to your door or a private chef, you'll be well looked after by your friendly hosts.

Alpine Twilight

Blender

This duplex apartment is pure Alpine bliss with a lengthy wooden balcony typical of Courcheval ski chalets and an interior of knotted pine wood and stone grey. The Scandinavian-style dining table is big enough for the whole group to gather for a post-slope hot drink and pristine, grey sofas are laden with faux fur cushions for that hygge feel. From the open-plan living area, glass double doors open up to the wooden balcony, letting the sunlight stream in during the day. Bedrooms continue the pine wood motif, creating cosy sleeping nooks for a good night’s rest before hitting the mountains on foot or by ski.   

From the balcony, you can spot the slopes snaking down the mountainside, awaiting keen skiers. This place is in Courchevel Moriond (formerly known as Courchevel 1650). It’s a friendly village ski resort with slopes for intermediate skiers, and a wider selection of ski runs can be found throughout the Three Valleys, within driving distance. 

A Blanket of Snow

If you're fancying a getaway to the mountains, you've found the right place. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the breeze as you walk into your apartment, surrounded by the monumental view of the surrounding peaks. If you find yourself staying here during winter, you can spend your days skiing in the snow. Alternatively, summertime here is just as beautiful, with an abundance of fun activities for you and your loved ones. Wooden beams adorn the walls and ceilings inside the home, giving it that gorgeous chalet vibe. The fluffy chairs offer you comfort as you tuck into a homecooked meal before heading out for a long walk outdoors. 

A short stroll takes you to the Marie Paradis Promenade, a beautiful walkway that provides you with amazing views of the encompassing trees and mountains that reach through the clouds. You'll reach a bridge that you can walk across where you can listen to the sound of the river rushing beneath your feet. Dining out in style is as easy as pie here, with a fantastic selection of eateries to sample cuisine from around the world. After exploring the area, head into the cosy Le Jekyll pub for some delicious food and a refreshing pint. 

Verdant Twilight

Nestled in the heart of Alpe d’Huez, this cosy mountain home is the perfect setting for a winter getaway to central France. Whether you’re here to ski or to simply soak up the gorgeous scenery, you can’t do much better than this tastefully decorated, alpine apartment, which comes equipped with a whole host of communal amenities that will make your stay here one to remember. 

Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the terrace, then set off for a day of hiking or skiing on the snowy slopes of the Central French Western Alps. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day out here, breathing in the fresh air or warming up with glass of mulled wine at one of the town’s charming bars, but if you’ve had your fill of being out and about, there’s plenty to keep you occupied back at home. Treat yourself to a soothing session in the on-site sauna, go for a dip in the indoor pool, or sit back and relax in the communal lounge before heading upstairs for a home-cooked meal around the rustic dining table. Raclette, anyone?

Walnut Retreat

Bicycles

This stylish little studio apartment is right in the heart of historic Annecy. From your doorstep, you can step out into streets lined with wooden-shuttered buildings, where cafés spill out onto the pavement. An alpine town, Annecy is flanked by snow-capped mountains and perhaps the most picturesque spot is the stone Palais in the centre of the Le Thiou River – the view of which is best enjoyed from the riverside restaurants and gelaterias, a five-minute walk from this apartment. Although it’s a studio, the apartment itself feels spacious and it has plenty of character courtesy of the exposed brick wall and hardwood floor. A wall of windows lets in plenty of sunshine during the day and a room divider separates the living and bedroom area from the dine-in kitchen. There’s even a stylish, Scandinavian-esque desk if you want to work remotely. If you want to get around the compact town of Annecy in a flash, your host provides complimentary bikes for sightseeing. 

Alpine Brickwork

Stair Gates

This stylish alpine apartment puts you within strolling distance of Chamonix’s historic town centre and the cable car. The space is modern yet homely, with an open-plan kitchen and living area that opens onto a balcony – the perfect perch for morning coffee with mountain views. The second bedroom is on the smaller side and windowless, but cosy for kids, and with a location this good, we think it’s a fair trade. From ski slopes to summer trails, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air, this is base camp done right.

Chamonix Haven

If you're looking for a quirky place to stay during a getaway to the French Alps, then this unique home could be the one for you. It's a traditional mazot house, built above ground and supported by stilts, just outside Les Houches – for lovers of the great outdoors, it doesn't get much better than this. 

Inside, the wood-panelled walls create a toasty ambiance where you can settle in and rest your tired legs. The decor is simple yet comfortable, and you can cook up your favourite dishes in the kitchen to refuel after a busy day. The bedroom is cosy, and even has a glass floor panel overlooking the kitchen diner so you can wave hello to your guests. And, if you head outside, there is a private terrace with views across to Mont Blanc, along with a shared garden where kids can play in the fresh air. 

Le Prarion lift is only a five-minute drive away, so you can don your skis and enjoy a brilliant day shredding some powder on the slopes. When it's time for some après-ski fun, then head into Les Houches or take the eight-minute drive over to the famous resort of Chamonix, with its upmarket restaurants and decadent bars. And, during the warmer months, there is a wealth of activities right on your doorstep – from horse riding and mountain biking to rock climbing and even paragliding, you won't run out of things to do easily. 

Mazot in the Mountains

Wine Cooler

Clip straight into your skis and ratchet up those bindings at this stunning slopeside apartment. Split across two levels, on the ground and lower ground floors of a beautifully constructed apartment building, this spectacular five-bedroom home is just a ten-minute stroll from the centre of Courchevel Le Praz. 

Whether you're searching for fantastic snow conditions or prefer to hike and bike through verdant alpine valleys over the warmer months, this apartment is a four-season family retreat. The open layout of the wood-clad interior entices you to spend time together as a group, sharing stories of the day's adventures by the fireside or around the dining table. 

Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors flood the space with natural light and offer direct access to the garden so you can enjoy that warm spring and summer sunshine. Three of the five snug bedrooms also benefit from panoramic panes of glass that open out to the outdoors, allowing you to check the day's conditions from the comfort of your bed.

The lowest of Courchevel's four main villages, Le Praz, shows off a different side of Courchevel. Best known for its glitz and glamour, Le Praz offers a more authentic alpine village atmosphere. Fast and efficient lifts link you to Courchevel 1850, with tree-lined runs back down the mountain that are ideal for bad weather days. And after a day on the slopes, why not enjoy a soothing sauna and soak in the hot tub? Afterwards refuel in nearby restaurants serving everything from the finest cheese fondues to Michelin-starred menus.

With its modern styling and enviable position right on the slopes, this Huez apartment is an excellent choice for skiing aficionados and outdoorsy types. Inside the home, neutral tones and natural textures blend seamlessly with the rugged surroundings. Start mornings on the balcony, breathing in the fresh alpine air and soaking up the views of the Grandes Rousses massif, before sitting down at the dining table with a typical French breakfast. Recline on the sofa with a hot chocolate or head down to the communal gym for a mood-boosting workout.

Spend afternoons in nature, skiing down the Pic Blanc in the winter months and mountain biking in the summer. Or why not try something a little different and embark on a glacier hike? When you’ve worked up a hunger, take the short walk into the heart of town for a hearty supper in a tasty restaurant.

Massif Moment

Small but perfectly formed, this cosy chalet is an ideal base for a small family or group of friends on an Alpine getaway. You’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here, and we love the addition of snuggly throws to warm up after a day on the mountains, and the private outdoor space, just the spot for a hot chocolate with views to remember. Locally, there’s a ski lift and bus stop just 100 metres away, so when the slopes of La Clusaz are calling, you’ll be gliding down the mountain in no time.

Opulent yet cosy, this lavish lodge just outside Meribel offers everything you could dream of and even more. Your host will ensure that every moment of your stay is totally luxurious, meaning that all you have to do is relax and enjoy your wonderful alpine getaway. 

Composed of the main house and a separate chalet, this property has plenty of space for all your favourite people to come along. The huge dining room with a vaulted ceiling is perfect for decadent dinners – your private chef will provide a delicious menu using fresh produce. Meanwhile, the cosy cinema room is a great place to curl up next to the fireplace and get cosy after a day on the mountain. And, with a huge wrap-around balcony and an outdoor hot tub, you can sip unlimited champagne in style as the snow falls. 

When you want to ski, then you can just call your chauffer who will bring you to the lifts – the Trois Vallées resort has 76 runs to choose from. In the warmer months, you can hit the hiking or mountain biking trails and explore the stunning landscapes. And, at the end of a long day, soothe your muscles with a session in your private sauna, or fill the free-standing bath with bubbles – this is true bliss.

Located in a traditional alpine village, this home blends the old charm of the French Alps with upscale modernity and utmost comfort. Quality materials and a high level of finish has been chosen to present you with a home that is almost as beautiful as its surroundings. And when renowned mountain architect Jean-Marc Mouchet worked on the design, you know it’s going to be good.

Every element of comfort has been thought of here – a cosy fireplace to warm you up after a day out in the brisk snow, super-soft throws and plush sofas, and your host can even arrange half-board catering services. Sometimes, you just don’t want to prepare your own food on holiday, especially after a day on the slopes – let someone else take care of that for you and bring it straight to your door, a former Michelin-star chef no less. 

This home continues to impress as a wonderful choice for skiers. The piste is just a short walk away where you can jump on the slopes – they’re suitable for every level of skier. From there, getting to Méribel’s centre is a breeze. Enjoy lunch with a view, sip on a well-deserved drink, and explore the shops. There’s much to see in this area and the wider French Alps – a lovely local team of travel assistants are on hand to help you make the most of your time here.
