Chalet Loris | 6-Bedroom Chalet with Private Pool in Megeve Megeve

Twelve guests, six generously proportioned bedrooms, one Alpine village at your doorstep—Chalet Loris sits in the heart of Megeve, France’s most coveted mountain resort, where the scenery shifts from sun-drenched meadows in summer to snow-laden peaks come winter. This isn’t a generic mountain retreat; it’s a purposefully designed family sanctuary with the kind of amenities that transform a holiday into something guests talk about for years.

Inside Chalet Loris

Chalet Loris sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, distributed thoughtfully across three distinct levels. The ground floor anchors the property’s social energy: two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms sit alongside a dedicated fitness zone complete with equipment and a walk-in shower, a home cinema ideal for mountain evenings when weather turns, plus practical ski storage and laundry facilities. The family bathroom on this level serves guests who may be cycling through the property throughout the day.

Ascend to the first floor and you enter the chalet’s primary living domain. An open-plan layout combines a lounge with a working fireplace that radiates genuine warmth on snowy evenings, dining space for extended family dinners, and a kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances, a central island with seating for informal breakfasts, and notably, a fondue set for traditional Alpine cuisine. Two additional double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms occupy this level, positioned to give those occupants immediate access to the main living spaces—ideal for parents or guests wanting to remain connected to the day’s activities.

A contemporary glass staircase rises to the second floor, where two more double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms provide quieter, more private quarters for guests preferring separation from the central hub. Throughout the property, modern en-suite bathrooms, high-specification heating, and multiple TV connections via speaker systems create an infrastructure built for contemporary comfort. Wi-Fi extends through every room, a dock station charges devices, and the welcome basket arrives with essentials. High chairs and cots are available on request for families with infants.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step onto the south-facing terrace and the view stops conversation. This isn’t a cramped balcony but a true outdoor living room with enough space for a full dining setup, barbecue facilities, and lounge seating—the kind of terrace where morning coffee becomes a two-hour affair. The heated swimming pool dominates the grounds, its waters maintained at comfortable temperatures from May through September, though year-round heating systems mean it can be used seasonally. The private jacuzzi sits adjacent, transforming from a refreshing plunge pool in summer to the ultimate après-ski recovery vessel once the ski season kicks in. Imagine sinking into 39-degree water while snowflakes fall around you and Mont Blanc’s silhouette towers beyond the property boundary—this is the moment guests understand why they chose Megeve.

A garage provides secure vehicle parking, and the ground-level ski boot heater means damp equipment won’t plague your mornings. The outdoor dining area with its integrated barbecue becomes the natural gathering point for extended family groups, particularly during the long Alpine summer evenings when sunset doesn’t arrive until after 9pm.

Location: Megeve and the Surrounding Area

Megeve occupies a rare position in the Alps: a resort that attracts serious skiers while maintaining the aesthetics and sophistication of a traditional French mountain village. The town’s historic centre, anchored by the picturesque Place de l’Eglise, contains independent boutiques, Michelin-recommended restaurants, and cafés that feel authentically local rather than resort-manufactured. Mont Blanc dominates the horizon, visible from numerous vantage points around town.

The ski infrastructure is substantial: 325 square kilometres of interconnected terrain across three primary areas. Rochebrune, accessed via the Télécabine du Chamois approximately 750m from Chalet Loris, offers predominantly green and blue runs favored by families and intermediate skiers—the learning grounds where confidence builds. A cable car connects Rochebrune to Mont d’Arbois, which serves skiers of all levels with slopes running in multiple directions and panoramic views across the snowy valley. Le Jaillet, the third sector, connects to La Giettaz and Combloux, with off-piste opportunities for expert skiers seeking untracked snow.

Beyond skiing: Megeve hosts an outdoor swimming complex in summer months, coordinates a calendar of culinary events celebrating Alpine gastronomy, and offers spa treatments and wine tastings within the resort. Les Contamines lies 15km north, famous for its challenging terrain and less crowded slopes. For non-skiers, the surrounding landscape transforms into hiking and mountain biking territory June through September, with marked trails ascending toward Col de Loze and the Chaîne de Beaufortain peaks.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families of 10-12 people benefit most from Chalet Loris’s generous bedroom count and divided living spaces—grandparents can occupy their own floor level with built-in privacy, while parents manage young children without disturbing sleeping guests elsewhere. Multi-generational groups appreciate the fitness zone and home cinema as activity diversification options when weather confines activities indoors.

Groups of friends renting together appreciate the entertainment infrastructure: the cinema, the heated pool for summer gatherings, the terrace’s entertainment capacity, and the open-plan kitchen that transforms cooking from a solitary task into a social event. Corporate team-building groups benefit from the sauna, fitness facilities, and enough bedroom separation that sleep disturbances remain minimal.

Couples seeking a romantic winter escape might feel the property is oversized—Chalet Loris optimizes for groups, not pairs. However, families with teenagers value the independence the property layout provides.

Families often prefer late June through August when school holidays align with the most stable weather.
