Editor's Review

A fifth-floor three-bedroom chalet residence accommodating six to nine guests inside The Graciosa building at 2,003 metres in Plagne Centre. Positioned directly alongside the piste, it offers elevated views over the resort toward Mont Blanc, an open-plan lounge with a water-vapour eco-fireplace, a private outdoor hot tub on the terrace, and a distinct sleeping layout featuring two en-suite double/twin rooms alongside a family suite with its own separate children's room. Access to shared complex facilities includes an internal guest bar, ski hire shop, massage rooms, and childcare.

Overview

An exceptional showcase of elevated ski-in/ski-out living and panoramic mountain views, the Makalu Suite is a fifth-floor residence situated within The Graciosa in Plagne Centre, France. Elevated at a snow-sure 2,003 metres, this residence comfortably accommodates six to nine guests. It serves as an ideal retreat for larger families or groups seeking high-level vantage points paired with full chalet service.

The residence benefits from doorstep slope access, allowing guests to step straight out of the building's ski room onto the blue Mont St Sauveur piste to explore the 425-kilometre Paradiski domain.

The interior layout combines contemporary alpine touches with generous natural light from large picture windows. The central living space includes plush sofa seating, a water-vapour eco-fireplace, an integrated bean-to-cup coffee machine, discreet ambient lighting, and bedside USB-C charging ports. Glass doors open onto a private balcony where guests can relax in their own outdoor hot tub while watching skiers descend the mountain.

The sleeping quarters are spread across three distinct bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. Room 1 functions as a family suite, comprising a double or twin bed, a private bathroom with bath and shower, a Juliet balcony, and a separate adjoining children's room fitted with full-sized bunk beds plus an additional single bed. Room 2 provides a double or twin bed, en-suite shower room, and a Juliet balcony. Room 3 offers a double or twin bed with an en-suite shower room. Shared complex amenities within The Graciosa include an internal guest bar and lounge, an on-site ski hire shop, massage treatment rooms, Bear Cubs childcare playrooms, elevator access, and a ski locker room with individual boot and glove warmers.

Offered on a fully catered basis, stays include daily cooked or continental breakfast, afternoon tea with fresh cakes, six evenings of three-course dinners accompanied by wine and coffee, welcome champagne with canapés, daily housekeeping, and dedicated hosting.

This is the perfect property to lounge away the days with family or friends. Highly family friendly, the combination of a dedicated children's bedroom snug inside the family suite, fifth-floor views from the terrace hot tub, on-site childcare playrooms, and doorstep ski-in/ski-out access makes it a complete alpine retreat in the French Alps.
