Situated right next to a piste leading to the resort’s main lift hub, Chalet Abade is ideal for a group of mountain lovers looking for high-end accommodation with super-convenient access to Val d’Isères epic ski terrain.
The chalet has a total of 315m² of living space over three levels. Natural local materials are extensively used throughout the structure and interiors, with stone walls, exposed beams in the ceilings, wood floors and wooden wall panelling.
High-spec fixtures, fittings and equipment and an opulent interior design by a renowned London studio ensure that the chalet meets the highest standards of contemporary mountain luxury.
The main entrance on the ground floor opens directly to the boot room, with boot drying racks, and the ski room, which has plenty of storage space for skis, snowboards and outdoor gear. There are three bedrooms on this floor – two doubles, which can also be configured with twin beds, with en suite shower rooms, and a quad bunk room with an en suite bath and shower room. Also on this floor are the chalet’s wellness facilities which include a hammam and adjacent shower, and a massage room. There is also an outdoor hot tub on the deck to the rear of the chalet.
Stairs lead up to living spaces on the first floor. Next to the stairs, the chalet’s cinema room, with a large flat screen, surround sound system and a plush four-seater sofa is the perfect place to enjoy a movie or favourite TV show. There is a guest WC next to the cinema room.
The high-ceilinged living space has full-height windows overlooking the piste in front of the chalet, and wonderful views of the mountains beyond. Two large sofas are arranged back-to-back in front of the windows, with one facing the open fireplace and the other facing the concealed well-mounted TV on the other side of the space. A selection of armchairs on each side are arranged next to the sofas to create two distinct sitting areas.
An arch leads from the living space to the dining room, which has a long table seating 12 people. Another fireplace warms this space, and the wall behind the dining table is hung with vibrant art deco-style artwork. At the far end of the dining room there is a breakfast area, with an island worktop with high stools and French doors opening to a terrace with an outdoor dining table and a hot tub. This space leads to a large galley-style kitchen with stone worktops, wood-panelled cabinets and state of the art appliances.
On the top floor of the chalet are the opulent first and second master bedrooms, each with a large en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. The first master has a private balcony and writing desk, and the second master has a two-seater chaise longue at the foot of the bed.
The chalet has fibre Internet and wireless networking throughout, with a networked sound system, and Netflix and Apple TV in the media room.
