Le Hameau nestling between snow and clouds, on the hills of Mont d’Arbois, the décor emerges as if in a fairy tale. Overlooking the Megève, valley, the Hamlet consisting of three interconnecting Chalets.
This architectural challenging structure stretches over six levels accessed by a lift, along the slope on which it is built. At first glance, it might mistakenly be thought of as a hundred year old chalet. In reality, the two thousand-square meter woods on which it is build were originally farms with mountain pastures. The owner realised his dream of reproducing an old and traditional residence with the addition of every possible modern comfort. The result a paradise in which wood, refinement and tradition reign throughout.
Twenty four guests, family or friends, can spend a dream moment together, with day’s spent cocooning, evenings by the fire, each moment is filled with charm in a setting where time seems to have stopped. Raw wood and stone are the order of the day, giving an exceptionally authentic charm.
The leisure facilities include a large swimming pool (indoor/outdoor), gym, aromatherapy treatment rooms, massage room, even an indoor climbing-wall. A 30-seat seminar-room, a large home cinema-room, and a fully equipped bar /disco
The Hamlet chalet is based on several levels moulding perfectly to the lie of the land. As soon as you arrive, the spurting waters out of a cascade assert the exceptional nature of this residence placed under the sign of water, of sports and of relaxation.
Each piece of wood used in the chalet has a history, however old it may be. This desire to use only pieces of old wood no doubt plays a major role in the rendering of this place, the impression of living in a 100-year-old chalet, with its creaks which recall floorboards of our family houses
The Hameau, (Hamlet) with its three interconnecting Chalets, / Chalet Alpage / Chalet Refuge and Chalet Torrent, each bedroom in its design and layout, is unique. All is but accuracy, good taste up to the very corners and recesses which suddenly materialise before your eyes and give this Chalet’s a hushed coziness.
The heat from old wood, the outstanding quality of the stone give this 2000-year-opened Chalet an authentic charm.
A heated roofed garage will allow you to leave your vehicle in the shelter throughout the period of your stay.
