Arguably one of the finest renovations in the Alps, luxury ski chalets don’t get much better than Ferme du Rys. Located just above the traditional alpine village of La Chapelle d’Abondance and only a short drive away from Châtel, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers the ultimate ski holiday experience.
The large open plan living area was formerly used to dry hay, however, there is nothing but luxury left now, whilst keeping its original features, such as the original wooden beams and section of glass floor. The 2-sided wood burner makes this space the perfect spot for apres drinks, along with the stunning mountain views through the three huge sliding glass doors which take you onto a panoramic balcony. There is no better place to soothe your tired legs than in the outdoor hot tub, with a glass of bubbly whilst taking in the picturesque surroundings. If, however, you’re after some peace and quiet, the reading snug is cosy and idyllic! A great place to escape the world and enjoy a few moments with a good book.

In the evening you can relax in the dining area, which has amazing views of the ‘Dents du Midi’ Swiss mountain range. The marble kitchen island provides the perfect spot for socialising and catching up on the ski stories of the day.
On the lower ground floor, which used to be the store for the farmer, you will now discover a spa area with an 8 person sauna and a relaxing area. Luxury doesn’t stop here for Ferme du Rys, hidden within what used to be the stables is a luxury cinema room with a 65 inch OLED TV, cinema surround sound, streaming channels and PlayStation 4 as well as a stunning 2-tier seating area.
Ferme du Rys has five beautiful en-suite bedrooms, which have been designed to incorporate the ancient timbers and stunning mountain views.
