Domaine Toit du Monde

A very special place

Domaine de Toit du Monde is combination of two exquisite chalets created from an old monastery dating from the 17th century. Domaine de Toit du Monde is an idyllic hideaway located in ski heaven. An old soul, developed sensitively into one of the most luxurious modern chalets imaginable. Positioned on the piste, Toit du Monde is a landmark building in the hameau of La Daille in Val d'Isére. 

Mountain chic, in reference to the Himalayas rather than the Alps, no expense has been spared in furnishing this opulent home. The chalet is awash with imported Tibetan chests and giant carved wood doors, handmade rustic railings from the Mongolian Steppes, and vast slabs of carved marble. It feels extraordinarily lavish and indulgent and a perfect hideaway unlike no other in the mountains.

Domaine de Toit du Monde is located in La Daille, the least salubrious part of Val d’Isère. There is a chauffeured 4x4 laid on from 8.30am to 11pm every day to take guests wherever they desire. Also, crucially, the chalet is genuinely ski-in ski-out for skiers of all levels, with an easy green on one side and a World Cup downhill slope on the other. 

Domaine de Toit du Monde is full of original features dating back to bygone eras. The huge stone fireplaces and the stunning stone window seats (where monks would have sat and read till daylight faded) are balanced in harmony with modern ornamental features and state of the art facilities. There are the movie screens which appear at the touch of a button, the invisible swimming pools which can pop up between the dining areas and the cigar room and the outdoor terraces where guests can relax after sampling the delights prepared by the talented chef. Domaine de Toit du Monde boasts two saunas, two massage rooms, two wine cellers, and two extraordinary swimming pools with electronically adjusted sinking marble floors that can be dropped to create a pool or just a shallow Jacuzzi area.

All bedroom suites have separate sleeping and relaxation areas. The marble walls of the bath are adorned with delicately engraved snowflakes, while the floor of each bath is subtly heated. The bath is of impressive proportions, each commands a rain shower and converts into a steam room, easily seating up to 4 or more, with remote-controlled lights.
