Savoie

Former pear-press cellar, now a swish bolthole with magical mountain views. In the village centre, 15-minutes’ drive to the Paradiski slopes

Urban rusticity, mountain chic - hidden in a hamlet and close to the slopes at Val d'Isère and Tignes. Ask your host for some off-piste tips

Hike, bike, paraglide or ride, set off on a family adventure trail…  Then home to a super pool, a delicious meal, and a very welcoming feel

A finely crafted staircase, a friendly owner next door, an Alpine garden to die for - groups large and small will love this old watermill

In a hamlet near the Vanoise National Park, a boutique chalet with a small special restaurant, and access to the Paradiski

Come for atmosphere in spades and a fortified wine made from basil: the kitchen garden is a marvel. Heaven for hikers, bikers, food lovers…

Superb views from this homely, chic mountain retreat in a quiet hamlet with guided walks from the door - anyone for high-altitude fishing?

A truly impressive modern chalet in Morzine’s centre, but not overlooked – sleek larch-beamed luxury and enthusiastic, savvy hosts
