Nestled amidst the secluded elegance of Le Crêt in Val d’Isère, Chalet Machapuchare emerges as a masterpiece, a haven of design-led luxury merely minutes away from the exhilarating slopes. Crafted by local ski virtuoso and design aficionado Yoann Marchand, this chalet transcends ordinary Alpine living with its seven bedrooms, indoor pool, hammam, cinema, state-of-the-art gym, and an outdoor jacuzzi, creating a sanctuary in the heart of the French Alps.
A Symphony of Design and Features: As you step into this retreat, you’re greeted by seven lavish bedrooms, capable of hosting up to 15 guests, each exuding a unique charm. The open-plan living and dining area beckons with panoramic views, while balconies and terraces invite you to soak in the breathtaking Alpine panorama. The indoor pool, massage room, hammam, gym, cinema, and outdoor jacuzzi offer a symphony of relaxation and entertainment, meticulously designed by Yoann Marchand and his creative partner, Charlotte Guilhamat.
Roots and Inspiration: Chalet Machapuchare, a proud member of the Purple Ski portfolio since 2020, holds a tale of family history and inspiration. Born and bred in Val d’Isère, Yoann’s intimate knowledge of the slopes and the region influenced every facet of the chalet’s creation. The chalet’s name pays homage to the majestic Machapuchare mountain in Nepal, a sacred space in local beliefs. The building itself, crafted from local larch pines, and the unique 007-style parking lot, reveal the depth of family roots embedded in this Alpine gem.
Philosophy of Design: Drawing inspiration from the natural Alpine landscapes and the rich local history, the design philosophy seamlessly blends locally sourced materials such as wood, stone, and leather. The chalet becomes a ‘living museum,’ adorned with family antiques and artifacts, a testament to Yoann’s commitment to preserving the heritage of Val d’Isère. Custom furniture and fabrics, crafted by L’Atelier des Frères with Arpin materials, embody a marriage between the old and the new.
Captivating Highlights: The chalet’s charm extends to an interactive kitchen, a soundproofed cinema adorned with ostrich feather lights, and a swimming pool adjacent to a living botanical wall with natural rock. New for the 2023/24 season, an expansive outdoor seating area with a jacuzzi and BBQ firepit offers a picturesque après-ski retreat, promising breathtaking views of the valley.
