Chalet Pure White Crystal, St. Martin de Belleville

Comfort and joy is what it’s all about at Chalet Pure White Crystal. This luxury ski chalet in St Martin de Belleville is designed to cater to your every whim in a way that is low-key enough to ensure you feel right at home.

The chalet enjoys a truly fabulous location, right at the heart of the gorgeous village of St Martin de Belleville. The shops, restaurants (and most importantly, the ski lifts) are all just moments away, so you’ll never waste a moment getting to where you want to be, whether that’s out onto the powder, into town for coffee and people-watching or back home to Chalet Pure White Crystal for a glass of bubbly and a soak at the end of a long day’s ski.

If that in itself sounds like a tough decision to make, relax. One of our favourite aspects of this luxury ski chalet is that you can enjoy both inside and outside without leaving the comfort of your sofa. The cathedral-style living space has huge windows which flood the area with light and also give you wonderful views, even when you’re warming yourself by the roaring central fireplace. And if you want to get a bit more up close and personal with that view you can always grab a few furs and head out to the armchairs on the balconies to take in the mountain air.

From the bedrooms to the living spaces, the feel of this chalet is one of ‘natural luxe’ – light woods, beautiful stone and plaid fabrics with a hint of the countryside about them, bringing a really relaxing feel.

And in the spirit of total relaxation, there are plenty of ways to soothe aching muscles and restore both body and soul to full capacity after a busy day on the slopes. On the ground floor terrace is a Nordic bath, surrounded by snow-topped pines for privacy and an extra touch of ‘Alpine’, while in the bottom of the luxury ski chalet there’s a wonderful swimming pool and sauna, with wonderful mountain views. Wherever you are in this property, the mountain is there, like a quiet, noble additional guest, reminding you of their presence. You’d better pour the old chap an extra drink and pull him up a comfy chair by the fire.
