Chalet Taiga, Megeve

Description

Savoyard culture meets Scandi style in this luxury ski chalet in Megeve. Chalet Taiga, Megeve, is a beautifully designed property where simple, pared-back style allows the natural beauty and wonderful location of the building shine through.

Awesome mountain views, peeking through almost every window, make this a really special chalet. There’s no need for art when each window view is a masterpiece itself. The architects have really made the most of Taiga’s outlook. Huge, floor-to-ceiling windows allow light to flood into the double-height living spaces and vaulted ceilings give the rooms a sense of drama.

The main living space, up a flight of stairs as you walk through the entrance, offers two separate seating areas; one a sunken space, around the wood-burning fireplace, and the other with lots of sofas and armchairs to relax in with a book. The contemporary dining table is surrounded by 10 wishbone-style chairs and a couple of stools for extra guests.

With both a luxe cinema room and a TV snug, there’s always somewhere to catch up on your favourite programmes, watch a film, or simply curl up with a book. The TV snug on the mezzanine level has its own fireplace to up the cosy factor to eleven.

After a day out on the mountain, wander through the garden to the ‘mazot’, surrounded by trees and hiding the traditional sauna and relaxing open-air terrace. There’s also an indoor Jacuzzi on the lower ground floor, next door to the cinema room, so you can catch a movie, soothe aching legs in the Jacuzzi, before heading back upstairs for canapés on the balcony.

Each of the five individually designed bedrooms, decked out in calming neutral shades, natural cottons and rich woods is a homage to comfort, with Scandi style decor and luxe en-suites. You’re guaranteed a good night’s sleep here.

But before you do, we recommend you head out onto the beautiful wrap-around balconies to breath in the night air, appreciate the mountain by night and maybe sit around the outdoor fire pit, wrapped in blankets and toasting marshmallows. This is a property where the simple things are properly appreciated.
