Paneling warms the rooms and frames slope views at this French Alps ski chalet that’s like a resort unto itself. It’s an adept mix of the traditional and modern: classic wood-clad interiors sit under a pitched roof while a sleek spa area waits downstairs. Spend days skiing or hiking on nearby trails and nights seeking out the coziest restaurants on the cobbled streets of central Megève.

An adventure out in the mountains calls for a few restorative laps in the villa’s indoor swimming pool, a stretch in the exercise room, and a stint in the steam room. A big double-sided fireplace is the obvious spot to curl up with a book for the evening.

The chalet’s wood floors and paneled walls give a strong nod to tradition. Its open-concept layout, though, is all contemporary, with 2 sitting areas separated by the fireplace flowing into a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and a central island.

Step outside this stone-and-wood haven and you’re in the heart of the area, a short drive from the nearest ski slopes and from downtown Megève. Challenge yourself on downhill runs and cut through forests on cross-country ski and snowshoe trails. In the village, sit down to dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant and end the evening with a drink at one of its grande-dame hotels.
