Editor's Review
Chalet Whypmer is a contemporary ski chalet which has been lovingly built by two local brothers along with its neighbour the chalet Spencer. Specifically built to offer groups a luxury accommodation and perfect base to explore the Porte du Soleil ski area.
Overview
Chalet Whymper is a spacious, modern chalet which has been beautifully curated to offer a flexible ski holiday to suit all needs. The purpose built chalet has been designed to offer a relaxed atmosphere and luxury throughout when guests return from a day on the slopes. The outdoor hot tub and sauna are perfect for total relaxation.
The social space has high vaulted ceilings and windows cover all the walls to flood the room with light. The interior designers have cleverly combined a very modern style with certain older aspects such as the timber beams. A large glass fronted fireplace keeps the room lovely and cosy.
Guests can choose to take the chalet catered or self-catered, with both service levels there will be chalet staff to welcome you, a housekeeper at the beginning and end of your stay and 24/7 concierge service. Once your booking is made you will be sent a link to add on any other services you might wish to add.
Set in an elevated position in the centre of Chatel, the chairlift departure from the Barbossine ski area is 100 metres away. This area is linked to the Linga and Pré-La-Joux ski areas and then to the Portes du Soleil, offering 600 km of slopes.
Free shuttles pass in front of the chalets to take you to the centre of the village or to the Linga and Pré-La-Joux ski areas.
The Chalet Whymper was purpose built to accommodate a small group of family and friends or a larger group in its neighbour the chalet Spencer that can sleep an additional 14. Both chalets are contemporary design and built from wood, stone, steel and glass balconies. Inside there is designer lighting and furnishings which are beautiful. A large double height ceiling in the open plan living space upstairs, creates a wonderful social atmosphere. There is also a separate cosy TV snug which is ideal for kids.
Each of the bedrooms has been finished with fresh clean lines, state of the art technology including a huge TV screen in the sitting room, coffee maker in the dining rooms and the wonderful wellness facilities.
Each of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, luxurious bedding and TVs with satellite channels.
Both the Whypmer and Spencer have been specifically designed to offer Luxury ski accommodation in Chatel, France. The two brothers whose family are from the resort know everything possible and would be happy to help throughout your stay.
The chalet will suit most groups with families loving the intimate service level and flexible catering. All will love to come back to the chalet and soak in the hot tub with an apres ski drink, or warm themselves up in the barrel sauna with glass end and views of the incredible valley and mountains – amazing at sunset.
