Alpine Elegance

Alpine Elegance opens the doors to fourteen extraordinary mountain homes, each shaped by its landscape and a distinctive approach to alpine living. From the snow-covered forests of Val d’Isère and the storied slopes of Courchevel to Snowmass and the wooded mountains of California, the book explores how architects and designers have reimagined the chalet while preserving the warmth, craftsmanship, and sense of refuge that have defined mountain homes for generations.

Rich timber, native stone, expansive glass, and exceptional craftsmanship create interiors deeply connected to the landscape beyond. Among them are Etoile du Nord in the French Alps, the strikingly modern Analog House in California, a family retreat in Kitzbühel, and the art-filled Chalet Courchevel. Traditional alpine architecture sits alongside daring contemporary design, revealing fourteen very different interpretations of what it means to live beautifully in the mountains.
