Every now and again the stars seem to align and extraordinary opportunities drop into your lap. Through a chance lunch and a random overheard comment, we became owners of two incredible building plots in the very centre of Avoriaz. The position is sensational, a few metres from the top of the Prodains lift, ski school meeting point and piste side bars and restaurants. The location deserved the very best and so we’ve pulled together our favourite interior designers and the very best local tradesmen with whom we have worked over the last 15 years. The chalet is brand spanking new for the 2018/19 ski season. A lift whisks you from the piste level to each of the six floors boasting five en suite bedrooms, two of which have additional bunk beds, making this the ideal space for a group of 10-14. The spacious open plan living / dining area sits on top with splendid mountain panoramas, an extremely decadent space in which to relax after a day on the slopes. The chalet comes complete with flat screen TVs in every bedroom, open fire, music system, boot warmers and balconies from where you can ponder the latest skiing fashions as they slide past on the piste outside. What else could we throw at the new Top Dog chalet in the resort? You guessed it, an underground swimming pool and hammam.
