Experimental Châlet Val d’Isère sits at the foot of the slopes in Val d’Isère, France, where CHZON turns a 113-room hotel into a rich alpine narrative. The project riffs on American lodge imagery, Savoyard craft, and the daily rhythm of skiing to build a contemporary mountain spirit that feels both graphic and grounded. Guests move through rooms and lounges shaped by forest textures, ski-inspired curves, and familiar materials used with easy confidence.
