Positioned gracefully within Le Fornet, a charming and residential ancestral hamlet, Chalet Orso claims its place among the most distinguished chalets. An integral part of the Le Mouton à Bascule complex, a duo of exceptional chalets unique in the French Alps, Chalet Orso stands as an unrivaled gem. It unquestionably ranks among the resort's most captivating creations, boasting facilities and services that rival the most esteemed hotels. Convenient shuttles facilitate seamless access between the center of Val d'Isère and Le Fornet.
Chalet Orso masterfully harmonizes the rustic allure of alpine chalets with cutting-edge technology. Nestled amidst pine trees and majestic mountains, this chalet delivers an indelible first impression – its exteriors, crafted from aged light wood and local grey stones, seamlessly merge with the pristine snow. This captivating revelation unfolds further as you step through its doors.
The entrance, adorned with heated "lauze" flagstone, introduces an expansive 13.50 sq.m ski room on the left – a comforting retreat after exhilarating days on the slopes. Whether a skier or not, the meticulously designated spaces of this magnificent luxury chalet promise an enchanting stay. An elevator and a staircase, harmoniously blending old and contemporary wood with illuminating LEDs, grant access to various levels.
Adjacent to the ski room, a beautifully bespoke wine cellar stands as a testament to craftsmanship. This level further hosts a crown jewel of Chalet Orso – an expansive wellness and fitness sanctuary. Unwind within a tailor-made hammam or sauna, embrace relaxation in the pool's refreshing embrace, or indulge in the tranquil embrace of the stone-drenched, overflowing jacuzzi. A reflective water mirror, encompassing the pool and jacuzzi, extends 15 meters. Raw concrete adorns the ceiling, cascading down the wall into the pool, evoking a magical cave-like ambiance. Complementing this is the fully equipped fitness area, a promising delight for every guest.
The luxurious master bedroom, ensconced among the fir trees, is thoughtfully appointed with an ethanol fireplace, a private balcony, a generous Italian shower, a freestanding bathtub with a wall-mounted TV, a spacious dressing room, and a desk. An ethereal view of the surrounding nature, nestled within the forest, provides a tranquil retreat. Another room on this level features an ethanol fireplace, a private balcony offering a picturesque view of nature, an office, and a generous Italian shower. The third room offers a bathtub with serene vistas of the Fornet forest. This level also showcases a fourth bedroom featuring a spacious dressing room and a bathtub, alongside a custom-built dormitory exuding the charm of old wood – a true cocoon for children, complete with a double Italian shower and double basin. All rooms are equipped with TVs, ensuring exceptional comfort.
Ascending to the upper floor reveals the heart of the chalet – a grand dining room fashioned entirely from aged wood. A splendid metal staircase leads to a mezzanine beneath a soaring ceiling, 2.50 meters in height, offering an array of games and entertainment – a pool table, pinball machine, an authentic jukebox with vinyl, a bar, and a TV lounge. This elevated vantage point affords splendid views over the lounge and the entire village of Le Fornet.
Designed as an open expanse, the living area seamlessly integrates the living room, kitchen, and mezzanine in an unobstructed flow. The kitchen can be discretely enclosed, should you opt to engage a chef's services for ultimate relaxation. A dedicated chef and waiter, embodying utmost discretion, are at your service for breakfasts and dinners. They craft delectable delights and regional specialties within the fully equipped semi-professional kitchen. Complementing this extraordinary experience are a private driver and a dedicated housekeeper, ensuring your stay in Chalet Orso exceeds all expectations.
