This chalet in the Italian Alps is almost Japanese in its minimalism: all understated calm and breathtaking views
T he interior of this three-bedroom apartment may be the height of cosy, understated luxe, but it’s the views that count: snow-covered peaks, dense pine forests and a picturesque mountain village all nestled in a valley 1,400m above sea level. La Thuile sits at the extreme west of Italy’s Valle d’Aosta, close to the border with France and Switzerland, part of a vast ski area known as Espace San Bernardo.
Across two floors, the apartment is almost entirely clad in aged larch, the wood a rose-pink tone.
