Completed in 2018, Chalet Machapuchare sleeps 14-15 guests in 7 beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms, plus an additional children’s bunk room. The attention to detail and quality throughout the chalet is a key feature, with a focus on natural materials such as wood, stone, wool, metal and leather.

Many of the pieces within the chalet have been handcrafted by the owner, or have been repurpose from traditional local objects – including the coffee table, which has been created using an old-fashioned cider press and the light fittings have been made from wooden Beaufort cheese casings.

The showstopping feature of Chalet Machapuchare has to be its dramatic double height sitting room, with enormous windows providing panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. This space has been cleverly designed to create the perfect spot to relax and unwind, with large comfortable sofas, a generous dining area complete with a well-stocked bar, reading and games corners on the mezzanine and wrap around balconies that give access to the hot tub.

The chalet's other facilities include a stunning indoor swimming pool with a waterfall and counter current system, hammam, massage area, and well-equipped gym. There is also a sound-proofed cinema room with tiered seating, completing the round-up of superb facilities that make Machapuchare an exceptional luxury retreat in Val d'Isère.
