The Wildfire Story

We built our first chalet - Wildfire Lodge in Vail Colorado in 1994.  Having visited many alpine resorts we picked Chamonix, as the location for our next Chalet adventure, as just like Vail, it is a all year round resort.  In the summer of 1997 after much searching for a suitable property and found a stunning classic chalet in much need of TLC.  Built in the early 50’s it had 8 bedrooms, a shared lavatory on each floor and one shower.  It was clearly needed substantial renovation having been latterly used as a Gite for school children.  Attracted initially by the traditional design, the huge gardens with a swimming pool, but the clincher was sitting with a glass of wine in the garden under two huge cherry trees in full fruit.

 Loo with a most splendid view

Commissioning local French builders too refurbish what was to become Chalet Wildfire was an experience I will never forget, ‘’A year in Provence’’ was forever in mind.  Having completed refurbishment in mid ski season in 97/98 it all began to look worthwhile. One of my key considerations was to ensure each bedroom had a new en-suite/private bathroom which resulted in what has become my favourite feature of the chalet -  a loo with a view.  What was a top floor middle bedroom which has a French window was converted into two bathrooms - the view from the loo is most spectacular with Mont Blanc and the Bosson Glacier framed by the French window.!
