"One of Villars’ finest chalets, situated in the heights of Domaine de la Residence"

First time to the market since it was newly commissioned by the current owners 20 years ago, Chalet Telemark remains one of the finest chalets in Villars. Elevated high up in the exclusive Domaine de la Residence, Villars prime residential quartier, the property enjoys fabulous mountain views across the village to the Savoyarde Alps.

Sitting on a land parcel of 1,907, m2, the chalet enjoys tranquility and privacy, but at the same time, is just a few steps from the Roy d’Orsay piste, providing easy access for skiers in the winter and for walkers in the summer. The centre of Villars is just a few minutes by car.

It constitutes the epitome of traditional chalet design, combining spacious accommodation, hand crafted carpentry and carvings, beautifully proportioned rooms and luxury fittings.
