A modern and welcoming décor atChalet du Bois Melay
At Chalet du Bois Melay, design goes far beyond beautiful decoration. The architecture, natural materials, carefully selected furniture and contemporary artworks have been brought together to create a warm, elegant and timeless atmosphere inspired by the surrounding Alpine landscape.
Every space has been designed to encourage you to slow down, admire the mountain scenery and share memorable moments in an environment where comfort is expressed with understated sophistication.
Contemporary design inspired by the Alps
From the moment you step inside, the chalet’s generous proportions make a lasting impression. The spectacular 5-metre-high cathedral ceiling, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the forest and surrounding mountains, and abundant natural light create an immediate sense of space and tranquillity.
The interior embraces a timeless elegance, where natural materials take centre stage. Wood, stone, linen and wool bring warmth and authenticity, while carefully chosen contemporary touches add a refined, modern character.
At the heart of the chalet, a striking three-sided fireplace naturally becomes the focal point of the living room. Deep, comfortable sofas invite guests to unwind after a day on the slopes, while the large windows seamlessly extend the beauty of the Alpine landscape into the living space.
Architecture designed for comfort and conviviality
Every area of Chalet du Bois Melay has been designed to be as enjoyable to live in as it is to admire.
The open-plan kitchen flows naturally into the dining room and living area, encouraging conversation and shared moments. The different living spaces allow guests to spend time together while also offering quieter corners for reading, working or simply enjoying the mountain views.
Large windows frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest and mountains, creating a constant connection with nature.
Every piece of furniture has been selected not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its comfort, ensuring that every room can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Curated art and bespoke design
Every object has been chosen with purpose.
The spectacular chandelier designed by designer Tristan Michel is the centrepiece of the living room. Created exclusively for Chalet du Bois Melay, it appears to extend the lines of the surrounding forest beneath the cathedral ceiling, transforming light into a striking architectural feature.
The interior is further enhanced by a carefully curated collection of contemporary artworks selected by the chalet’s founder. Paintings by Joséphine Audebert and Valérie Bétoulaud, both inspired by the beauty of the mountains, blend harmoniously with the natural materials and give the chalet a distinctive artistic identity.
A French Rameau piano, the family library, antique mirrors and bespoke lighting in every bedroom all contribute to the perfect balance between authenticity, contemporary design and the French art of living.
A chalet where design enhances the guest experience
At Chalet du Bois Melay, design has never been conceived as a purely aesthetic statement.
Every architectural decision, every material and every decorative element has been carefully selected to enhance guests’ comfort, encourage shared experiences and create a peaceful atmosphere where everyone immediately feels at home.
Whether you’re watching the flames dance in the fireplace, enjoying a book in the reading lounge, playing the piano or simply admiring the snowfall through the expansive windows, every detail has been designed to make your stay a truly memorable experience in the French Alps.
The reading lounge features a bespoke Corten steel bench, specially designed to store the firewood for the fireplace. Soft cushions invite you to relax while enjoying the warmth of the fire and the peaceful atmosphere of the chalet.
Overall, every decorative element has been thoughtfully selected to create a unique aesthetic experience and a peaceful mountain retreat.
Every detail contributes to the warm, elegant and welcoming atmosphere that makes Chalet du Bois Melay such a special place to stay.

Chalet du Bois Melay is a little haven of peace. Nestled among the fir trees, each room offers a breathtaking view that is simply dreamy! The design and cleanliness of the chalet are top-notch. The amenities are comprehensive: each room is equipped with an ensuite toilet/shower, and there is also a pool, sauna, and an incredibly cozy dining room. The icing on the cake is the warm welcome from the hosts. I can only recommend a stay at the chalet. And for skiing, a little warm-up is offered, and it's definitely worth it!

We spent a week in the chalet as a family of 15!
What could have been a challenge was made easy thanks to the quality of the chalet, the private spaces for everyone, the variety of activities available, and above all Elise’s availability for all our requests and wishes.
Everyone truly enjoyed their week and made the most of it.
We were incredibly lucky to enjoy all the outstanding services of this five-star chalet!! My 11-year-old daughter absolutely loved the gym, the adjustable infrared sauna, and of course the 32°C pool!!! THANK YOU 👌✨✨✨
This is my second stay here — an exceptional experience, right at the ski slopes!
Ideal chalet for a group of friends (14 people) who love skiing and sharing memorable moments together. The kitchen is well equipped for those who enjoy cooking, and after skiing you can relax in the pool or the cinema room! The chalet manager, Elise, is always attentive and available when needed, yet very discreet when not.
Truly outstanding!
A beautiful chalet, a genuine cocoon of comfort. Extremely comfortable.

Already looking forward to coming back.
Outstanding in every way.
