In the Spring of 2009 a plan for a luxury chalet was conceived, the designs were finalised and submitted for approval to the Samoëns Mairie and finally, some 18 months later, the diggers turned-up on site! It was the start of the Building of APASSION.

From a field on the side of a hill, a luxury 5-bed chalet, would quickly start to take shape . . . . . 

After just 8 weeks the ground works were finished, the majority of the concrete base was complete and the first deliveries of timber started to arrive. 

After just a further 2 weeks the timber frame was complete the timber roof was on and work was starting on the walls and adding the insulation and tiles to the roof.

Four months into the build and the internal walls were all in place and the underfloor heating was being laid . . . just in time for the first dump of snow  . . . . the 5 December!

January 2011 was manic!

Everyone from electricians, to plumbers, to carpenters, to painters and even a team of fireplace installers from the UK were working at a tremendous pace to finish the build in time for our first booking; February Half-Term! 

By some miracle (and after an amazing amount of work and stress) just 6 months after diggers arrived on site we were close to the luxury chalet we’d imagined 2 years before!

In February 2011, after 18 months of planning and 6 months of building,  we opened the doors to Chalet APASSION.
