About Chalet Gaia, Megève

Luxury self-catered ski chalets don’t come much more welcoming than the beautiful Chalet Gaia in Megeve. Combining a traditional alpine exterior with a stylish yet homely modern interior, it’s a restful countryside cocoon. The mountain views here are so glorious that it’s hard to tell whether you’re looking out of a window or at a painting in a frame.

After a day on the slopes, return to the toasty boot room to change out of your gear, then head up to the bright and airy lounge to relax by the contemporary log burner. The open-plan layout makes this a sociable chalet and the glossy kitchen is everything you’d hope from a self-catered property. You’ll find all the mod cons needed to rustle up family feasts, with plenty of space for guests to gather around or spill out onto the sun-drenched terrace in the treetops.

Children and adults alike will love the cool games area, where you can team up for competitive games of billiards or pinball machine fun. There’s also a bar here, so you can pour a refreshing drink without taking your eyes off the game. For total relaxation, soothe any weary limbs in the sauna or unwind in the Hammam.

Cosy alpine-style ensuite bedrooms provide a soothing space to sleep. The five-bed dorm is a lovely room for children, and they’ll be welcomed by a teddy almost as big as they are.
