For this project our desire is to promote traditional characteristics that speak to the true nature of the existing barn. To do so we are planning on using beautiful old wood, roof covering in tavaillon and outside walls in enduit à la chaux reminding us of traditional alpine barns. A small mazot right underneath the chalet that could be renovated into a studio is also adding a lot of charm to this authentic atmosphere.

The place’ spirit

The hamlet of La Gruvaz is by far an exquisite heaven of peace and quiet. It is also conveniently located: very close to ski resorts like St Gervais or Les Contamines and is also a very well-known hiking site during summer. The area is really sunny and the surrounding magical.

Work in progress

Around the Chalet – St Gervais

The St Gervais ski resort will please the entire family, with activities for every age, every passion in the course of the seasons. Between mountains, balneology and well being it is also an amazing fauna and flora that you will discover in this gorgeous mountain. Indeed, we should not forget that the plot of the chalet is adjacent to the highest natural reserve of France, in the Contamines Montjoie. For the hikers, one of our favorite places ever is even accessible from the chalet it is called Miage. We think that from there you will appreciate the incredible view of the “Dome de Miage” and authentic mountain cabins.
