In the heart of Les Praz, this beautifully renovated country house offers a more intimate alternative to the larger resort chalets so often found in the Alps. It is a home with genuine character: warm, elegant and highly liveable, with an atmosphere that feels far more private and residential than overtly seasonal. 

The interiors strike an appealing balance between old and new. Traditional alpine timber, wide-plank flooring and a dramatic double-height volume give the principal living space real personality, while the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated in a cleaner, more contemporary style. The result is a house that feels authentic without being heavy, and polished without losing its mountain soul. Large windows and glazed openings draw in excellent natural light and frame striking views towards the snowy peaks, giving the house a strong sense of place throughout. 

The layout is arranged across three levels. The lower level provides an entrance with storage, a WC, a kitchenette, one double bedroom with ensuite WC, and two further double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The main upper living floor is centred around a cathedral-ceilinged sitting room, an open-plan fitted kitchen and dining space, together with a principal bedroom suite with shower room and WC, a separate guest WC, and a mezzanine TV area above. Additional ancillary space includes a ski room, sauna, wine cellar, pantry, utility room and cellar, while a large balcony extends the main living areas outdoors. 

The house feels particularly well suited to buyers looking for a year-round Alpine base rather than a purely functional ski property. The principal reception room has a lovely sense of volume and light, the kitchen is sleek and modern, and the bedrooms feel calm, comfortable and understated. There is also a pleasing contrast between the refined contemporary touches and the more traditional furniture and detailing, which gives the house a distinctive, individual feel. 

For international arrivals, Geneva Airport is the most convenient gateway and the usual first choice for Chamonix, (around 1 hour) and served by regular private transfers, shared shuttles and daily bus links. Lyon and Milan are the next most practical options (around 2 hours away), making them useful alternatives for wider European and long-haul connections. There are also rail options into the valley, but for most buyers and guests the easiest arrival is a direct airport transfer from Geneva straight to the property.
