Among the most anticipated additions to Leo Trippi’s portfolio is Chalet Zanskar, a stunning retreat nestled in the heart of St Martin de Belleville. This picturesque location provides the perfect setting for travellers seeking an authentic alpine experience away from the hustle and bustle typically associated with larger ski resorts.
Just a three-minute drive from the St Martin 1 gondola, Chalet Zanskar offers convenient access to Les 3 Vallées, recognised as the largest ski area in the world.

The clever use of elevation maximises the visual impact of the surrounding alpine landscape, creating a constant dialogue between interior luxury and exterior natural 1.
Among the property’s most impressive features is a striking four-sided glass fireplace that serves as the focal point of the open-plan living area.

The wellness facilities at Chalet Zanskar reflect Leo Trippi’s understanding that luxury mountain experiences extend beyond skiing alone. The property boasts a bespoke sauna and dedicated massage area located in what was once a traditional farmhouse wine cellar.
