Timber & Air

Soaking in the private jacuzzi with open mountain skies above you – that's the kind of end to a ski day this chalet in Les Gets delivers. Set on a quiet hillside just outside the village, the timber-and-stone exterior gives way to a warm, wood-lined interior where deep sofas and large windows frame the Alpine landscape. A dedicated ski room with boot heaters, a gym, and a wraparound balcony for crisp morning air make it both practical and atmospheric. The Portes du Soleil – one of the world's largest ski areas – is right on the doorstep.

Home truths:
* The fifth bedroom is a bunk room with two bunk beds, accommodating up to four children. As a result, the home can sleep a maximum of eight adults, plus up to four children.
* The chalet sits just outside Les Gets rather than in the village itself, so you'll want a car for flexibility – it's a five-minute drive to the centre, and the ski lifts are around seven minutes away by car. Parking is provided for ease.
* A complimentary mid-stay cleaning service is included for stays of 14 nights or more.
* This home spans three levels, meaning it might not suit those with limited mobility.
