Grand Sarire, sleeps 16, Val d’Isere
A stunning luxury chalet in a peaceful location
Overview
Chalet Grand Sarire is a beautiful chalet that benefits from a huge open plan living room that combines with a large outdoor wooden deck to create the perfect entertaining space. The interiors are cool and calming and the chalet benefits from a peaceful location in the old village of le fornet without compromising on access to the ski area where you can ski back to the door. Groups of 16 find the chalet a delight and with over 350sqm of floorspace Grand Sarire has seven double/twin bedrooms arranged over five floors and one bedroom has an additional adult-sized bunk-bed that will sleep two more comfortably. Perfect for families or groups of friends
Chalet Grand Sarire is fresh and contemporary and gives an overriding feeling of spaciousness. The property is broken down into two main spaces, one is the main chalet which houses the main living and dining areas and five bedrooms for twelve people. The second is a cool and well designed apartment with two bedrooms and a further bathroom and its only living space. Beautifully finished inside and out in light grey vanoise stone and mountain larch the two areas blend together well. There are two main entrances, one for the main chalet and one for the apartment and they are just three steps apart, with your complimentary slippers you wont find the transition cumbersome. The main entrance is on the ground level where you will find a heated ski room for the chalet with good storage and boot warmers. Here you will also find 2 covered parking spots, a rarity in the valley, if you require more its a large garage so please just ask. On entering the main level of the chalet the sheer size of the living and dining space comes into view. With a length of about 20m this space is great for entertaining large groups for cocktail parties or just giving yourself a generous area for your family or group. The chalet has a minimalist feel and the dining table was sourced from Paris and conveys simple clean lines and can accommodate 16 people with the addition of a further table enabling the whole group to eat together. The lounge has a couple of different seating areas in front of a lovely open fire and a iMac work station. Looking out on to the large deck there is a cedar wood hot tub where often mountain ibex or chamois can be seen.
The central wrought iron stairwell leads up to 3 bedrooms on the next floor. One contains adult sized reclaimed wood bunks and a walk in wardrobe and bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a large monsoon shower room and toilet. Ascending to the top floor the mountains come more into view and you will find a large master suite with ensuite bathroom and a smaller king or twin ensuite room with a large terrace and west facing view down to the main village. The apartment is equally well sized and the bedrooms sit neatly together, the extra living space here often works well with families as the children can have their own space to relax and watch movies or play games. The rooms feel on the large size and many contain bathrooms with natural stone sourced from different parts of the country. Also four of the bathrooms contain full sized deep bath tubs which are becoming rarer in the resort as size of chalets are compromised

Our opinion
A gorgeous chalet in a stunning location. Pure luxury.
Food is at the heart of everything we do at here. The chalet chefs are some of the most qualified in the alps with years of experience in 5* hotels, michelin starred restaurants and super-yachts. Each chef brings their style and flair to their chalet to create unique and bespoke seasonal menus. Trained to the highest standards, our chefs have the ability to cater to different cuisines and dietary requirements. They will contact you before your arrival to discuss what you would like during your stay. We like to keep our menus fresh and interesting and on the lighter side – but you decide. Our chefs serve breakfast on seven mornings and dinner on five evenings. We also include champagne and canapés on an evening of your choosing.
Wine is a passion, it’s a hobby, it can be taken lightly or seriously. How ever you treat your wine we will have selected something to suit your taste. In our fully serviced chalets we include carefully selected wines to match with our menus. We have a wonderful selection of wines including a delightful grand cru champagne from Alain Grilliat, a fabulous boutique house in Ay.
Our chefs love their menus to be enjoyed with wine so they will be happy to suggest the perfect combination. We also have our own fine wine supplier in resort so if there is a specific bottle we can get for you we will do our best to source it.
