Frenchmans Chalet Ski Lodging — Chalet at Sun Valley

Rustic, chic, and homey, Frenchmans Chalet’s country style envelopes you like a warm blanket and immediately makes you feel right at home. Travertine floors lead the way to a gleaming hardwood staircase that guides you to the upper level and into a premium kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, and a sitting area with a large flat-screen television. The living area flows and opens up to a great room and dining area that share space beneath a vaulted, timber-accented ceiling. Relax around the fireplace in the great room watching your favourite movie, share ski stories at the 8-person dining table, or open the sliding glass door to the balcony and let the fresh air and alpine views infuse the space around you.

Kick back off after a day on the slopes in the private, outdoor hot tub or the sauna, which is appealingly shaped like a large wooden barrel. Then, families or small groups of friends can comfortably get some shut-eye in the four large bedrooms and be rested for the next day’s adventures. Take a walk to Ketchum’s main street district and explore shopping and dining opportunities. And, with Frenchmans Chalet set midway between the River Run and Warm Springs lifts, a short drive in either direction will have you on the slopes in no time. Don’t feel like driving? Then hop on a free Mountain Rides bus; the stops are only minutes away.
