Modern ski chalets with contemporary design
If you love modern design and clean lines then you’ll be looking for a stylish and contemporary place to spend your winter holiday. These contemporary ski chalets have been created by leading architects, interior designers and those with a passionate eye for the very best in cutting edge technology.
These properties are a stark contrast to the quintessential ski chalets that we’ve all seen on the postcards – although some do incorporate traditional timbers, hides and other antique alpine pieces in a dazzling and contemporary way. We love the way that architects are looking at the mountain environments and designing ski homes that are inspired by urban living. The owners and architects of these properties have either built from scratch or renovated existing and more often than not very old alpine retreats creating minimalist and cutting edge properties.
