A luxury mountain retreat

This magnificent five-star chalet has been designed to accommodate up to 10 people in five bedrooms each furnished in its own style. Nestled in La Salle Les Alpes, a mountain village dating back to the thirteenth century, in the heart of the Serre-Chevalier ski resort, Chalet Grande Ourse benefits from a southern exposure overlooking Serre Chevalier’s main ski slopes. The chalet’s living room is surrounded by extraordinary bay windows where you can take in the mountain’s breathtaking views while basking in the sunlight unique to this region. Beautifully decorated in an original alpine decor, the chalet is equipped with modern conveniences for your relaxation and personal entertainment including a sauna, a pool table and a wide-screen home cinema set-up.

An architectural masterpiece

The carpenters that built the chalet all worked using techniques that stem from the Middle Ages, transmitted from master to apprentice through the times. The result is amazing. The beams are held together with wooden pegs, the architectural golden rule has been used everywhere, every single detail just breathes design and art. The owners wanted to create a home from home with a lived-in feeling as opposed to soul-less holiday home. It has worked. Tasteful rather than ostentatiously luxurious, the house changes personality with the season and throughout the day as the sun moves from East to West.
