Ski in, ski out: Chalets at the foot of the slopes for winter sports enthusiasts
Skiers know the workout begins the moment you start hauling gear to the lifts. A dropped pole, a loose boot, a missing glove, and the shuttle just pulled away… A day on the slopes can go downhill fast. The solution? A chalet right at the foot of the pistes, where all you need to do is enjoy the day, stress-free.
Welcome to Courchevel 1650, one of the most beautiful resorts in the Alps, home to Artemisia. Tucked away from the crowds, this 300 m² retreat is perfectly located between the peaceful Belvédère forest and the slopes of Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest ski area. With five bedrooms accommodating up to ten guests, each offering mountain or forest views, Artemisia provides a rare sense of tranquility in the heart of the Alps.

The chalets for exploring the mountains in summer mode
In spring, the lawn is adorned with poppies at Maison Refuge.
The sea has its charm, but hikers know the truth: while the mountains are a winter favorite, they’re just as captivating in summer. Armed with a sturdy hat and SPF 50, we head off to conquer the peaks for a picnic with a breathtaking view. We don’t need convincing—we’re already in!
After a hike or perhaps an exhilarating paragliding adventure, what could be better than retreating to a house designed as a refuge to recharge? Maison Refuge, aptly named, provides a cozy retreat for weary travelers. Nestled at 1,300 meters in the Hautes-Pyrénées, this intimate 75 m² cabin is a perfect spot for families and adventurers alike to relax, with nature at your doorstep ready to be explored.
Chalet Viñales, hidden in the Savoie countryside.
Another chalet, another vibe. This time, we head to Savoie, to Chalet Viñales—a 1960s wooden retreat with sweeping views of the Mont-Blanc massif. A timeless hideaway in Les Houches, it welcomes up to 15 guests in a 4,500 m² garden that faces the majestic mountains.
From spring onwards, hikers are drawn here, lured by the easy access to popular trails like Prarion, Col de Voza, Nid d’Aigle, and the renowned Mont-Blanc tour, all within peaceful surroundings. In winter, it’s a skier’s paradise, with the Les Houches slopes just a 10-minute walk away and Chamonix only a 12-minute drive. Time to hit the slopes at Les Houches!

In summer, breakfast is served on the terrace at Ferme Fougere.
Forget Méribel, Megève, and the other high-end resorts—at Ferme Fougere, you get a taste of authentic mountain life. But don’t worry, it’s all about comfort too! The chalet is surrounded by endless hiking trails, with a short walk leading you to the “St Gervais” ski run and the Bettex cable car, opening the door to the expansive “Évasion Mont Blanc” ski area.
Just a few minutes by car, and you’re at the Les Contamines resort or riding the scenic Mont Blanc tramway, which climbs up to a breathtaking pass overlooking Les Houches. When night falls, the magic continues: picture yourself on the terrace, wrapped in a blanket, sipping hot chocolate and savoring blueberry tart while gazing at the starry sky. Now that’s a vacation at the top!
