This chalet-style duplex offers ski-in/ski-out convenience and boasts a vaulted living room along with a south-facing terrace that provides stunning views of the Méribel slopes in the French Alps. Spanning 265 square meters, this opulent apartment allows guests to move seamlessly from the open-plan kitchen to five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while also featuring a sauna, a TV lounge, and a children’s room equipped with individual screens for each bunk bed. On the first floor, residents can enjoy a 25-meter swimming pool and a spa that includes a cryotherapy lounge.
Additional services include valet parking, a dedicated butler, a private equipment rental store, as well as access to masseuses, beauticians, and nannies. In the ski room, staff assist with putting on boots stored in heated lockers. “We can also arrange for breakfast deliveries and hire chefs to prepare meals,” noted Albane Tourlière from the Vallat real estate group.
Antarès is a prestigious development featuring 55 luxury apartments, constructed by Vallat on the grounds of a former Club Med resort. The 265-square-meter duplex is available for rent at a rate of €20,000 per week this winter. Other apartments in the complex are slightly smaller, with an average rental price of €17,000 per week, according to Joffray Vallat, the head of the company and a native of Savoie.
Antarès is not an isolated case; it represents the trend of new chalets and residences emerging in France’s premier ski destinations. This trend is particularly evident in the “Big Five” resorts—Val-d’Isère, Méribel, and Courchevel in Savoie, along with Megève and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie—as well as in several resorts that have significantly upgraded their offerings over the last twenty years, including Alpe-d’Huez in Isère and Tignes, La Rosière, and Val-Thorens in Savoie.
