Bollin Penthouse

This unique penthouse,  Le Bollin was originally built as the year round home of Pierre Schnebelen, the famous owner of Tignes and developer of Val Thorens. You can imagine that it is in the best home in the best position in the resort. Occupying a large part of the top two floors the penthouse is over 2,000 square feet and provides plenty of space and privacy in its 5 bedrooms – three of which are en suite - and the spacious reception areas.

 
The light and views from the apartment are fabulous and you are able to see your friends and family skiing past. You can watch the freestyle on the half pipe, see the slalom action, the glacier and the great runs such as Double M and Carline. It's located right opposite the Funicular going up to the glacier on Grande Motte and by the Bollin/Fresse lift. The Tichot and Lanches lifts are also very close. From the two heated balconies you can enjoy a comfortable view of some really great skiing. The major fit out done this year is to a very high standard using work from several of France's, Italy's and Denmark's top designers.
 

The spacious kitchen is by Bulthaup with some special appliances including built in Miele coffee maker and a Miele wine fridge and a steam oven, and of course all the usual stuff like hob, another oven, microwave, dishwasher and washer/drier. You can enjoy the solid ash breakfast bar or at the Tablemakers handmade oak table on Wegner wishbone chairs. Cutlery is handmade by David Mellor. In the lounge area are ultra comfortable leather Frank settees designed by Anthony Citterio for B&B Italia. These are big enough to lie down on and perfect for lazy evenings with plenty of large cushions. The room is wired for sound with a Bose 48 system and a 55 inch Samsung backlit LCD TV, and Nintendo Wii, with WiiFit.

Bedrooms

The master bedroom on the same floor has a large bathroom which like all the bathrooms in the apartment is new this year and is fully equipped with Molton Brown toiletries. In this bedroom, a glass desk is perfect for browsing lovely views of the alps, while sitting on a Phillipe Starck Louis Ghost Chair. The desk hosts a MacBook Air to tempt you away from the breathtaking views.

Next is the dressing room with two mirrored wardrobes and then the bedroom with an ultimate Royal Auping powered adjustable bed 180cm wide.

The number two bedroom upstairs could be called a suite with another large 180cm Royal Auping bed and some of the best views in the resort.

It also has a built in wardrobe and access to its en suite bathroom.

The third en suite bedroom is smaller but still a good size with a high pitched ceiling and mountain views from windows on both sides. This room has a good quality 180cm wide sprung bed which can be separated to make two quality singles.

The other two bedrooms upstairs have 90cm wide sprung beds which can be used apart or together, high ceilings, good views.

These rooms are served by the family bathroom which is again new and like the other three all have baths or showers and plenty of hot water. All bedrooms have sound docks for iPods.

 

Back downstairs to the atrium hallway, the floor is real stone like the bathrooms and balconies, and there is a full size ski and boot room with a built in boot warmer.
