The details
Nestled among the trees high above Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Chalet F'Net is a beautifully restored 19th century Alpine chalet that combines historic character with luxurious modern comfort. Surrounded by private woodland and newly opened up to spectacular views across the Chaîne d’Aravis and Fiz mountains, this is the kind of place where life slows down, the air feels fresher and every window frames an unforgettable mountain scene.
Originally a traditional chalet d’alpage, the property has been thoughtfully reimagined by David and Anjana Devoy, whose work has featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs and in leading design publications. Inside, original timber beams, stone walls and natural materials sit effortlessly alongside contemporary touches, creating a warm and welcoming retreat that feels both authentic and indulgent.
The heart of the chalet is the open-plan living space on the main floor. Here, a revolving wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, while comfortable seating, a home cinema, sound bar and an ever-growing collection of books and games invite you to settle in for long, relaxing evenings. Large doors open onto the new balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee while gazing across the mountains, enjoy leisurely lunches in the sunshine or watch the changing light dance across the peaks with a glass of wine in hand.
The designer kitchen blends rugged Alpine charm with modern convenience and comes equipped with everything needed for relaxed self-catering stays, including a Nespresso machine, gas hob, fridge and rustic dining table that encourages long, sociable meals together.
Sleeping accommodation is spread across three levels. The master bedroom occupies the ground floor and is a wonderfully romantic sanctuary with exposed stone walls, lime plaster finishes, a bioethanol fire and mountain views. Its ensuite bathroom opens towards the garden and features a Japanese-style soaking bath for blissful post-hike relaxation. Upstairs, the former hayloft has been transformed into a characterful bedroom with original timbers, sweeping views and a freestanding vintage copper bath. There is also a charming coin nuit sleeping nook tucked beneath the eaves on a minstrel gallery, providing an additional magical sleeping space.
Outside, woodland surrounds the chalet, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Step straight from your front door onto walking trails, discover mountain biking routes, enjoy paragliding nearby or spend the day exploring the wider Mont Blanc region. Saint-Gervais, Les Houches, Megève and Chamonix are all within easy reach, while the famous Tramway du Mont-Blanc, thermal baths, swimming lakes and even day trips into Italy offer endless opportunities for adventure. Whether you're seeking mountain exploration, remote working with a view or simply a peaceful escape from everyday life, Chalet F'Net offers a truly unforgettable Alpine retreat.
