With its modern styling and enviable position right on the slopes, this Huez apartment is an excellent choice for skiing aficionados and outdoorsy types. Inside the home, neutral tones and natural textures blend seamlessly with the rugged surroundings. Start mornings on the balcony, breathing in the fresh alpine air and soaking up the views of the Grandes Rousses massif, before sitting down at the dining table with a typical French breakfast. Recline on the sofa with a hot chocolate or head down to the communal gym for a mood-boosting workout. Spend afternoons in nature, skiing down the Pic Blanc in the winter months and mountain biking in the summer. Or why not try something a little different and embark on a glacier hike? When you’ve worked up a hunger, take the short walk into the heart of town for a hearty supper in a tasty restaurant.
