Chalet Avitia in Chamonix, France

Nestled in the forests on the outskirts of Chamonix sits this truly magical property, just made for large gatherings with friends and family or a corporate event.

As the name suggests, this luxury ski chalet in Chamonix with fabulous views of Mont Blanc and the whole range. With huge terraces for parties and relaxing evenings with friends, there’s plenty of outdoor space to enjoy here, taking in not just the stunning vistas but also the mountain air and the sense of peace.

But the interior is something very special and luxury ski holidays don’t come any more generous in size than this huge five-storey chalet accommodating up to 27 people. There’s space for everyone to both get together and do their own thing. Whether you’re gathered in the living spaces over a fabulous meal or drinks round the fire, hunkering among blankets outside on the terrace as the sun sets on the mountains, or are squirrelled away alone in the library or down in the stunning spa area, restoring mind, body and soul… Whatever your vision for your break away, you’ll fulfil it here.

With its wonderful outdoor terraces and the floor-to-ceiling windows, this is a property that really brings the outdoors in and makes the most of its surrounding environment. Nature, in all its majesty, is ever-present at the chalet. Even when you’re cosied up on the sofas with snow falling outside, it’s the great outdoors (and it truly is great here) that makes you feel extra cosy in front of the fire.

The property can be separated, off peak, and taken as separate suites and rooms, so each one really is a little bolthole in itself. On a large group holiday, this is invaluable, as it means there’s always your own little bolthole to escape to. Every room has its own beautiful en-suite bathroom and is stocked with luxury beauty products and sumptuous linens. And if you need a little extra pampering, there’s always the treatment and massage rooms in the spa to retreat to.

Staff are on hand to keep you well fed and watered and ensure that you never need lift a finger here. Your only job is to enjoy everything that comes your way, and – at some point during your stay – to try and pick your jaw up off the floor at that view.
