With its snow-covered landscape and streets lit up with twinkling lights, Courchevel is a magical place at Christmas,’ says mountain enthusiast Candice. ‘We usually spend Christmas morning on the slopes with our extended family and then head back home for a relaxed lunch and a cozy log fire.’
The alpine experience was at the heart of Candice’s vision for this home, named Chalet Sisimiut, her large (400m 2 ) dwelling in the famous resort in the French Alps. Located in Courchevel Village itself, it is the second of three properties she and partner Marc have built on the site of an old barn and land belonging to Marc’s family.
‘It’s a modern reinterpretation of the classic chalet,’ says Candice. ‘We wanted to move away from the traditional ski lodge style and share our own view of mountain living. The result is a whimsical Alice in Wonderland affair, full of humor and surprises.’
