Swiss-Inspired Ski Chalet Deep in the Quebec Woods
This classic alpine chalet straight out of a Swiss fairytale showcases the creativity of designer Camille Charland-Perez. With a design theme and name meaning happiness, you can’t go wrong at this deep forest retreat, the perfect mountain getaway for skiing or hiking, then relaxing in a bubbling soak on a twinkle-lit view deck under a dazzling canopy of stars.
Renowned designer Camille Charland-Perez put the focus on full immersion in the landscape with her creation of this alpine-inspired wooden chalet at the foot of the Ouareau Forest National Park in Quebec, an 8-minute drive from Ski La Reserve. The remote cabin for rent in Canada is a modern take on a classic, with earth-toned tiles and exposed wood walls, large windows and cushy furnishings and goose down bedding that add to the cozy ambiance.
Named for happiness, this classic wood chalet was designed around its soaring, cathedral ceilinged living room and central fireplace. It features warm, rustic styling with thick beams throughout, plus traditional, three-story, alpine chalet construction, with a classic, second story terrace offering views onto the mountains. There’s a charming clawfoot tub in the open upstairs bedroom suite, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, deep-cushioned couches to sink into post outing, an indoor sauna, plus a hot tub on the terrace covered only by twinkle-lit beams and the velvety night sky above.
AROUND
This cabin for rent in Canada is located just outside of the Parc Ouareau and only two minutes from the beach at St. Donat, north of Montreal not far from Mont Tremblant. The ski basins of La Reserve, Mont Garceau and Val-Côme are all quick drives from the chalet, and the village of St. Donat is about 10 minutes by car, with the chalet’s closest services located in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci village.
Hikers, trekkers and snowshoe aficionados will find trails right out the chalet’s door, and cross-country skiing and mountain biking are also possible in the adjacent Ouareau Forest Park. Try your hand at dog sledding or snowmobiling at recommended outfitters nearby, or head into the village of Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, where a picturesque lakefront beach offers activities year-round.
