That wraparound timber terrace – sun loungers positioned squarely in front of the Alpine peaks – is the kind of thing you'll struggle to leave in the mornings. Back inside, the timber-clad bedroom and deep sofas make the apartment feel like a warm retreat after a long day on the piste. The Bellevue cable car is a five-minute walk, giving you direct access to the Les Houches–Saint-Gervais ski area, while Chamonix – with its broader ski domains and après-ski scene – is around a ten-minute drive. Shared sauna and pool facilities round things off nicely when the legs need a rest.
