chalet luce

Located at an altitude of one thousand and seven hundred meters in a charming village in the heart of the Dolomites, this historic ski chalet for rent in Italy has been transformed into an exclusive luxury vacation residence while masterfully preserving its original architectural structure. The village where the chalet is located is nestled at the foot of the impressive Sella Massif, at one thousand six hundred meters above sea level, and is considered the most significant center in the Fodom Valley. The village is situated within the Sella Ronda circuit, part of the Dolomiti Superski, one of the world's most renowned ski areas. Its uniqueness is characterized by serene and authentic spaces, featuring natural stone, ancient wood, and the inimitable panorama of the Dolomites, which recreates the captivating atmosphere of times gone by. The combination of the past and modern technological systems provides the utmost comfort in a private setting. Chalet Luce consists of two interconnected buildings, the maso, and the masetto. The large interior spaces of the chalet can accommodate up to twenty guests and are spread across the four floors of the original maso, each floor with independent external access. The rooms, spacious and welcoming, display antique furniture and artworks, selected with extreme attention to detail and functionality. Facing south, the chalet is surrounded by four thousand square meters of private forest and twenty - four thousand square meters of pasture, where the beauty of nature will enchant you with the joyful presence of foxes, deers, roe deers, hares, and marmots. The property features a helipad and a private ski slope with a surface lift. Inside, the spa houses a pool equipped with an Endless Pools counter-current system, a hot tub, a sauna, and a Turkish bath. The cinema room is truly unique; its walls are covered with a special fabric made from hay and scented flowers, giving the impression of being in an old barn. Details are an integral part of this extraordinary chalet, including small ones such as the antique locks on doors, each different from the others, that belong to an original private collection. Due to the particular location of the house, in case of snow or bad weather conditions it is necessary to park in the parking area in the nearby village and use the chalet's private transfer to reach the property. The area is well-known among winter sports enthusiasts for its strategic position on the ski slopes. Skiing, snowshoeing excursions, and walks in the woods offer numerous unique experiences. The high number of trails starting from the chalet and reaching the surrounding peaks, make Chalet Luce a lovely place for those who love the mountains in the summer. Here are the details for ski enthusiasts: ski-in, off-piste for experts, depending on snow conditions. Ski-out, off-piste depending on snow conditions, with a one hundred fifty-meter walk (more challenging off-piste) or a two hundred-meter walk (easier off-piste). Ski tours include options such as the Sella Ronda Ski Tour, Dolomiti Ski Safari, Great War Ski Tour, and daytime and nighttime snowshoeing. To access the ski slopes, there is direct off-piste access and a five-minute drive with a special vehicle. The caretaker resides in the small house next to the chalet, respecting your utmost privacy.
