The 10 Best Luxury Chalets in Chamonix

Ten exceptional chalets in Chamonix, chosen for their architecture, their wellness spaces and their views of the Mont-Blanc massif.

Updated 11 November 2026

Chamonix, a town at the foot of Mont Blanc

Chamonix is nothing like a purpose-built resort: it is a mountain town at 1035m, at the foot of Mont Blanc, with a valley that strings together its hamlets, from Les Bossons to Les Praz, from Le Lavancher to Argentière. Our ten chalets sit between 1060m and 1177m, from the town centre to the valley's quiet hamlets.

It was from here that Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard opened the route up Mont Blanc on 8 August 1786, and here that the Compagnie des guides was founded in 1821. In 1924 the town hosted the International Winter Sports Week, recognised in 1926 as the first Winter Olympic Games: a high-mountain town rather than a ski village.

Here, you choose your skiing each morning: four ski areas follow one another along the valley, from Brévent-Flégère to Les Grands Montets, from Balme to Les Houches, linked only between Le Brévent and La Flégère. Without clipping into skis, you can ride up to the Aiguille du Midi at 3842m, or take the little train above the Mer de Glace, as visitors have done since 1909.

Our agents have chosen ten chalets worthy of the setting: in the heart of town, in the hamlets of Les Praz, Les Bois and Le Lavancher, or facing the glaciers of Les Bossons.

The journey begins at the edge of the centre, where the town gives way to the hamlets, 300m from the Brévent slopes.

Chalet AérienA hamlet of three houses, at the edge of the centre

Discover the chalet

At night, the façade lights up beneath the peaks.

At the edge of Chamonix town centre, this chalet is one of a small hamlet of three houses: the shops are a short walk away, and the Brévent and Flégère slopes 300m. Rustic materials and contemporary lines play off each other; the living room revolves around a central fireplace, beneath high beams, facing tall windows. Outside, on the large south-facing terrace, a hot tub waits for the evening, facing the peaks. Six bedrooms, and a lift between the floors.

In the hamlet of Les Bois, between fields and forest, this farmhouse built in 1794 is one of the oldest in the valley. Its restoration kept the original timber frame as the centrepiece; around the central fireplace, the dining room, sitting room and reception space flow into one another without walls. Downstairs, a spa inspired by Japanese onsen brings together a heated indoor pool, a sauna and a massage room; in the evening, a private cinema, a games room and a wine cellar. Five suites over three floors.
