Chalet Himaraya

A former monastery converted into an idyllic alpine residence with modern facilities

Overview

Chalet Himaraya is a tranquil winter residence located in the pretty hamlet of Les Etroits in Val d’Isere. It is the only ski in/ski out chalet onto a green piste, making it perfect for beginners or families with children.

The property is a former monastery dating from the 17th Century, which has been converted into a stunning chalet with luxurious modern comforts. Original features such as the massive fireplace and the stone window seats (where monks would sit and read until daylight faded) are enhanced by modern ornamental features and state-of-the-art facilities, including a swimming pool, movie screen, and spa area.

A hidden marble pool reveals itself with the touch of a button and guests can enjoy swimming inside the chalet, or under the stars in the outside section. The moving floor can adjust the depth of the pool, making it ideal for families, plus it features a wave machine and Jacuzzi section.

For the ultimate relaxation, there is a spa therapy room, a sauna built from Russian fir, and steam rooms in every en-suite bathroom.

After a hearty four-course meal prepared by the chalet’s chef, guests can retire to the cozy living area that surrounds an original stone fireplace and features a drop-down cinema screen. Discerning guests will also enjoy the chalet’s elegant cigar room and the private wine cellar.

All four suites can be set up with twin or king-size beds and have separate sleeping and relaxation areas, underfloor heating and en-suite facilities. The marble baths are so spacious they are classified under French building laws as “swimming pools”! The delicately carved glass walls surrounding the bath and shower allow the space to be transformed into a steam room for up to four guests. For larger groups, an additional two suites can be made available, taking the capacity up to 12 guests.

For even larger groups, Chalet Himaraya can be rented alongside its sister chalet – Chalet Sekai creating ‘Chalet Monde which can accommodate up to 16 guests.
