Chalet Cinq Moutons

In the winter there is skiing at Champex and La Fouly, as well as the larger resort of Verbier, which can be reached by car and cable car.

The chalet itself is just as impressive as the garden. There are great views in every direction - of the garden, the valley and the mountains - and walls of glass make the most of them.

There's a gym with a sauna and shower, where you can relax or work out, as the mood takes you. There's also a sunken indoor hot tub, with wonderful views over that impressive garden and mountains.

About the property ...

At first glance, this unusual contemporary chalet looks like three different buildings, but they are all cleverly interlinked to create an imaginative and spacious property.

Sleeping 16 guests (12 adults maximum) in seven bedrooms, four of which are en suite, the accommodation is set over three floors.

You'll enter on the ground floor, where there's the stylish, well-equipped kitchen with a large range cooker and a dining area. Sliding doors open on to the furnished terrace from the dining area - why not step outside to enjoy an apero? There's also a cosy reading area and a bar here with valley and mountain views.

Stairs to the first floor separate this area from the living room, beautifully lit by a double height wall of glass, overlooking the garden. An elegant sofa and chairs are arranged around a wood burning stove and you can also access down to the lower ground floor, where you'll find the gym, shower and sauna, as well as a laundry room.

Up on the first floor, you will find two bedrooms - starting with the spacious master suite, with a large double bed, a corner bath overlooking the garden and an en suite shower room. Next door to this is another double en suite bedroom.

Move from here into the second part of the chalet, where you'll find another kitchen area, with a desk and piano. This useful area is perfect for preparing children's meals, or perhaps for guests who want to eat separately. A ladder staircase connects this room to a mezzanine family room with a double bed and two singles. There's plenty of space and games for children to play up here, too.

Back on the ground floor of the second part, there are two double bedrooms, which share a large bathroom with WC, as well as a TV room with a huge L-shaped sofa and a wood burning stove.

There's yet another living room, with a sofa and armchairs in the third part of the chalet - again huge windows flood the room with light. The sunken hot tub is here too, overlooking the garden. Stairs lead from here to the first floor to find another lounge area and a double bedroom. And the last en suite bedroom is actually the owners favourite - the entrance is located from the midlevel of the garden, completely isolated and perfect for a couple. You can enjoy a seating area outside and amazing garden views.

There is one garage at the chalet which can also be used as a ski room and space to park up to seven cars.

Please note: A tourist tax of 3.60CHF per adult and 1.80CHF per child, per night booked, will be collected by the property manager of Chalet Cinq Moutons' on arrival.

About the area ...

The area around Praz-de-Fort has a lot to offer as far as activities and attractions are concerned. In winter, you can easily access the slopes around the villages of Champex-Lac and La Fouly. Champex, at 2000m altitude, is nicknamed "Little Canada" and has very good snow conditions.

Only 20 minutes away, the Le Châble cable car takes you directly to the resort of Verbier. All these resorts offer paragliding, ice climbing and many other snow sports.

For a moment of relaxation, you can visit the thermal baths of Lavey-les-bains (35 minutes away) or Saillon (37 minutes away). These two spa towns offer a wide range of wellness facilities and pools, both indoor and outdoor.

In summer, the lake of Champex is an ideal starting point for walks and bike rides. The cable car to La Breya allows you to enjoy the view without the climb. You can also explore the lake by boat or pedal boat, before sampling the local cuisine in one of the restaurants on the shore.

As you’d expect the scenery in Praz-de-Fort is spectacular, with gorges, mountains and forests to discover. The hillsides are covered in Alpine plants, many of which have culinary and medicinal uses - the botanical garden near Champex is a great place to learn more about them.

This diverse area has so much to offer!
