The escape, an exceptional chalet in front of the slopes | Ski Chalet in Vars
6 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Vars
The escape is the result of the restoration of an old barn combining modern and traditional architecture. Located in the center of the village of Sainte Catherine in Vars, it allows you to enjoy one of the biggest ski areas in the Southern Alps in a traditional village atmosphere. The main chalet has 4 adult rooms and 2 dormitories (8 single beds) which accommodate up to 16 people. The former forge transformed into annex can accommodate a couple of adults and 2 children.
A place full of history
The escape is more than just a modern chalet. The owners have endeavored to preserve the soul of the existing place and to evolve the elements of the old barn of the 19th century. It consisted of a hay barn on 2 floors, a stable in the basement and a forge attached to the barn.
Thus, the atmosphere has been preserved, among other things in the old barn, making this renovation a unique place.
Renovation work
The renovation and reconstruction work lasted nearly two years. The old barn could be preserved thanks to the meticulous work of local craftsmen. The barn was completely rebuilt, using local species (larch from the Queyras) and benefiting from the experience of the company Chabrant.
Modernity has been brought about through the architectural treatment of the whole. The architect Benoit Fournier (Ceillac) has among other things opened this barn on the mountain, the sunshine, the light and allow a breathtaking view of the ski slopes.
The decoration, entrusted to Virginie Dumont (Ane Bleu, Marseille) wanted to be simple and minimalist in order to magnify the unusual volumes of this chalet.
