Chalet La Connivence, Megeve

Description

Traditional mountain style meets hi-tech mod cons in this luxury ski chalet in Megeve. Chalet La Connivence has a modern-rustic feel that allows you to relax the moment you walk in the front door. Natural materials, from rich woods and rough slate tiles to leather and faux fur soft furnishings bring Savoyard charm to the spacious property.

The shared living spaces are designed with sociable, laid-back gatherings in mind. At the heart is a sunken living area with a huge woodburning fireplace as its centrepiece. Lounge here with friends in the afternoons when you return from your ski, refuelling with hot drinks and home baked treats and hearing everyone’s tales from the slopes. A television is hidden away cleverly in a sideboard and rises up to give you a private cinema experience using the integrated Bose sound system.

Adjacent is a cosy dining area to seat 10 where you and your party will enjoy fabulous food, prepared by your private chef, alongside local fine wines and excellent conversation long into the evening. There’s also a breakfast nook for quick coffees and a bite to eat before you head out in the mornings, located just off the well-equipped kitchen. The cooking area is open on two sides so you can sit and watch the magic happen as your chef gets to work each evening.

Chalet La Connivence enjoys wonderful views of the mountainside, dotted with pretty chalets, so the balcony is set up with a small table and chairs to allow you to relax with a morning coffee and just take in the scenery and the Alpine air before the day properly begins.

In the afternoons, head down the steps to the outdoor spa area, which sits in landscaped gardens and lawns and includes a hot tub and barrel sauna linked by wooden boardwalks, beautifully lit by candles. The mountain view from the glass wall of the sauna is, without a doubt, one of the highlights of a stay at this luxury ski chalet.

After a day full of snowy adventures, pampering and fun, you’ll be more than ready for your bed by late evening. Each of the double rooms opens onto the wraparound balcony so you can enjoy a nightcap under the stars before you retire to super-comfy bed, puffy pillows and luxury sheets and throws to get cosy under. You’re sure to enjoy sweet dreams here.

The nearest airport is Geneva, approximately an hour’s drive away.

Eating

Food and drink are a key part of life at Chalet La Connivence and work on your menus begins before you even arrive, as your private chef gets to work on planning the perfect flight of dishes for each day. Whatever your party’s dietary requirements, your chef will be happy to accommodate them.

Each morning starts with both cooked and continental breakfast offerings, so you can leave for the slopes well-fuelled for the day’s adventures. When you return to your chalet, afternoon tea, coffee and freshly baked treats are waiting for you.

Then there’s just enough time to relax, change and be ready for the evening meal. Your dining experience is completely tailored to you and the chefs will be delighted to discuss your requirements prior to your arrival. Each course is paired with a different European wine, and local and seasonal ingredients are used wherever possible.

The chalet is stocked with a fine selection of wines from local vintners and you can pre-order any particular bottles you’d like to have available. There are also high-end spirits on offer as well as Seedlip and other non-alcoholic cocktails for any non-drinkers.

The chalet’s staff have two nights off but will be happy to book the best tables at the best restaurants for you.

Kids of all ages will be impressed by the magic TV which is hidden away within a sideboard and raises up for movie nights! And each of the double rooms has its own flatscreen TV too, so there’s no arguing about who watches what.

Older teens will enjoy the fabulous outdoor spa and the addition of a ski room makes getting out on the slopes (and back in again) a breeze for families.

The chef is happy to prepare dedicated kids’ teas and nannies and babysitters are available on request.
