Two of Chalet Timber’s bedrooms are found on the ground floor with lovely village views. One, in trendy moss green tones enjoys jacquards and sixties fabrics, wonderful wooden detailing, a television and a fabulous ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is equally beautiful with a headboard mixing worked oak freezes and warm fabrics in tones of carmine red. Its black and white ensuite bathroom is very striking, and also enjoys a shower and bath. The master bedroom suite is on the garden level and comes with a dressing room, incredible detailing, and jacquard in terracotta tones and an immaculate, beautifully tiled ensuite bathroom.

Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet TimberChalet Timber is located in the heart of Megève, a laidback, charming resort in the Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area. Megève enjoys three main ski areas, offering 325km of pistes, usually open between December and April. The Telecabine de la Princesse ski lift provides direct access to the top of the majestic Mont d'Arbois, with ski runs in every direction. The ski area of Rochebrune is reached easily from the chalet as it leaves from the centre of Megève via the Telecabine du Chamois. The third ski area is Le Jaillet where you will find the links to the slopes of La Giettaz and Combloux and spectacular off-piste options. There is a great collection of well-established ski schools, and the resort caters for all abilities. As well as enjoying thrilling descents, there are many snow parks and cross-country ski trails. The summer hiker path in the Mont d'Arbois ski area offers fantastic views through the forests and down to Planellet.
The historic town centre of Megève offers effortless charm and character. It boasts a dreamy backdrop and sensational views of Mont Blanc. It is a great destination for those discerning ski groups who want to enjoy authenticity, fabulous food and a good variety of skiing. You can enjoy hearty lunches on sun-soaked terraces, cosy mountain bars and restaurants and lively après-ski venues. Guests can participate in wine tastings, head to dreamy spas or visit the town's large sports complex with its outdoor pool open during summer months.
The beautiful Saint-Jean Baptiste Church is the oldest building, dating back to the 13th century. You will also find the Town Hall and the famous Aallard store, which opened its doors in 1926. The town hosts many events and is very special at Christmas time, the village tree goes up around 11 December. If you want to explore Megève in style, you can take a horse-drawn carriage ride and enjoy the rhythm of horseshoes on the cobbles.
