Chalet La Fresque
Overview
Occupying a privileged ski-in / ski-out position on the slopes of Rochebrune, just 1.2 km from the centre of Megève, Chalet La Fresque is an exceptional mountain property with a fascinating architectural story.
Designed in 1934 by Henri-Jacques Le Même, one of the most celebrated names in Alpine architecture, the chalet was originally created as a home and studio for the painter Georges Gimel. Far removed from the traditional Alpine aesthetic, its distinctive modernist design is characterised by striking volumes, clean lines and expansive studio-style windows. Almost a century later, the building retains its original personality and architectural integrity.
Completely renovated in 2026, Chalet La Fresque brings this important heritage into the present day, offering four bedrooms and four bathrooms in a warm and intimate setting. Its artistic past is still very much part of its identity, particularly in two bedrooms inspired by the original artists' studios, where small paned windows fill the spaces with natural light.
The top floor is undoubtedly the chalet's defining space. Beneath the original exposed roof structure, a generous living area centres around an inviting fireplace, while large south facing windows and unusual corner glazing frame spectacular views of Rochebrune and the Mont Blanc massif. The result is a wonderfully light filled space in which to relax and enjoy the mountain surroundings.
With its exceptional provenance, individual character and direct access to the slopes, Chalet La Fresque is a rare find in Megève.
