Master Suite

I'm often asked by people booking the chalet which is the 'master suite'. The simple answer is that no bedroom stands out from any other in such a way that it could be considered a master suite.

This is what I wrote recently to a client visiting in January:

There is no obvious master suite - all rooms have their pluses and minuses. Two bedrooms are on the middle floor; the rest are on the top floor. When we first started visiting the chalet (in 2001), my wife & I stayed in the top-floor, front-facing twin [CH. 3 below]. It's a good size and has lovely views, and the benefit of a window if you like fresh air but don't want to get it by opening the doors to the balcony. But the bathroom is smaller than the front-facing twin on the middle floor [CH. 1 below], and the shower is a bit cramped if you're 6' 3" like me! So, over time, we've drifted down to the front-facing twin room on the middle floor [CH. 1 below]. Its only drawbacks are that it does not have a separate window for air control at night (but you can achieve this by leaving the window open in the adjacent bathroom) and it is next to the sitting room and opposite the kitchen. That's only a drawback if you want to retire earlier than other guests at night, or if you like to lie in while others get breakfast ready for you, as the kitchen is opposite. There is a nice front-facing double room on the middle floor [CH. 2 below], which is further away from the kitchen and sitting room, but it's only a double or queen size bed, and we're used to having a bigger bed than that, so my wife & I don't use it. Its bathroom isn't as nice as the twin, only because it doesn't have a window. Friends who have used it, love it; so I leave it to you to decide! It's worth noting that we've spent all but a few days of our time at the chalet in summer and spring, when it's warm, hence the windows at night issue. It's probably not an issue in January!
