Find Yourself in Wonderland

Draining the last drops of your Whiskey Sour you take leave of the New York glam-styled bar and make your way to the vaulted wine cellar for a game of pool – via the slide, naturally. Gliding gleefully into the atmospheric cave you see the teens beat you to it. Never mind – you pass the time investigating the vast collection of wines and select a particularly special vintage Châteuneuf-du-Pape for your gala birthday dinner tomorrow. Thomas pots the black early – and you reclaim the table for the big boys.

Welcome to Chalet Grand Corniche, one of the most playful chalets in the Alps. This expansive and delightful offering flies the flag for Les Gets, and for modern Alpine chalet design. Seamlessly blending into her gorgeous mountain backdrop with traditional construction from local wood and stone, inside Grand Corniche is none-the-less bang up to date. 

Vast floor to ceiling picture windows in the open plan dining and living area command spectacular views across the valley, and up to that king of the Alps, Mont Blanc. The in-chalet spa facilities are the best in resort, and even better you reach the chalet from Geneva in little more than an hour – fresh faced and ready to have a spectacular holiday.

You will be impressed at every turn in this exceptional chalet; from the feature central staircase all glass and natural timbers curving attractively as it carves through the 4 floors, to the statement Grand Piano and the antique furniture pieces that subtly compliment the modern design. Everything here has a place, and there is a place for everything. 

Relaxing with a book? Curl up by the fire on the comfortable sofas. Or curl up next to an altogether more high tech fire found in the ‘conversation pit’ in the spa. Stunning views await you here through the glass walls - a 180-degree panorama from the glass sauna in fact. Open-air stargazing is a must from the outdoor Jacuzzi, which dazzles with under-water mood lighting and mini water falls to cascade over you, soothing, and with powerful jets easing those aching ski legs. If you’re feeling more active try the well-equipped gym, or perhaps kick back in the TV snug with some freshly popped corn.

More surprises await you courtesy of the fantastic team of professionals in situ; your wish is their command of course, but they will also astonish you with little extra touches throughout your stay. Your own private chef is hugely talented and lovingly creates dishes to appeal to your palates, a truly bespoke dining experience with fine wines to match, and a grand cellar of à la carte vintages for the special family occasion you came to celebrate.

A family favourite is the additional cosy Mazot sitting snugly next to the main chalet; stylish accommodation for four with its own private sitting room and log burner, a master bedroom and bathroom and the mezzanine level adored by the children.

A luxury ski holiday at Grand Corniche is the perfect way to spend quality time with family and loved ones; to revel in real time enjoyed together. Exhilarating moments together on the slopes and long, lingering lunches, followed by a couple of drinks in the lively Irish pub – before hitting the spa or perhaps taking a hot stone massage in the chalet’s private massage suite. You will craft special memories together, including the spectacular celebration dinner served in the vaulted wine cellar, where the pool table is cannily transformed into a large, glamorous polished mahogany dining table. What an atmosphere.

Les Gets is a skiers paradise; hidden treasures await on Mont Cherie especially after a fresh snowfall when the whole backside opens up into a vast powder playground. From Chavannes access the vast 650km of pistes available in the Portes du Soleil ski domain, which stretches across the border to Switzerland for added character and excellent hot chocolates. Your private chalet chauffeur will ensure you make the most of this fortunate position; quickly transporting you to the lift of your choice each morning, and then collecting you from wherever you park your skis at the end of the day. Easy.
