WELL, THAT is next year‘s ski holiday sorted - a stay in what promises to be the most luxurious residence in one of the most exclusive resorts in the French alps.

Owners and guests will find themselves in the heart of this famous ski resort, one of the Euro-elite’s favourite winter destinations.

The apartment interiors have been designed by Alain Foeillet, blending contemporary styles with traditional mountain influences that celebrate the alpine aesthetic. The natural environment provides inspiration by featuring timber walls and robust beams, stone and clay flooring complemented by custom-made furniture and local art. . All interiors have been custom designed using carefully selected light materials that give the apartments a warm, comforting atmosphere. For the furnished apartments, which owners ill rent out through Six Senses, the majority of the furniture is also custom-made, ensuring that the end result is like nothing ever seen before.

For the ultimate ski residences, 10 spacious penthouses  cover 1,076 square feet (100 square metres)  offering panoramic mountain views, up to five bedrooms, specially configured wine cellars and triple aspect balconies overlooking the slopes.  The Smaller apartments have balconies, terraces, guest rooms and their own parking spaces and ski locker.

The spa will also feature an indoor swimming pool, saunas, steam room, a relaxation lounge, a gym and a studio for wellness classes. TLTB likes the idea of manicure and pedicure stations near the juice bar so residents and guests can enjoy complete hands and feet pampering and a good conversation over a glass of healthy juice at the same time. Comprehensive tailored wellness experiences will also be available.

Everything from private jet access to bespoke gourmet ski guiding can be arranged by a dedicated Six Senses residents concierge, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
