The joy of a chalet next to the piste has got to be languishing lazily over breakfast or squeezing in that last twilight piste as the lifts closedown for the day.
Position isn’t always everything, but Founets Aval in Courchevel, a few steps from the Bellecote piste, certainly makes your ski holiday extremely easy.
Plenty of Savoyarde character and a touch of Alpine chintz in this little gem. From the abundance of wooden beams, frescos, hunting trophies and huge log fire in the galleried living area to the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and spectacular views, this is a simple but extremely comfortable home from which to glide away to explore the Courchevel slopes.
Sleeping up to nine guests, the chalet has four en suite bedrooms and a small snug off the mezzanine. The galleried mezzanine itself has a comfy sofa and widescreen TV to relive your day by GoPro or catch up on your favourite shows after dinner.
An ingenious sauna that can turn itself into a steam room offers a touch of indulgence and relief for aching limbs.
