About this title

Synopsis

The definitive designer guide to creating a mountain-inspired home—with jaw-dropping imagery of alpine interiors interspersed with throwback shots of celebrities living large in the great outdoors.

“[The] book, with its sumptuous photography of mountain homes and lodges from around the world, will have readers imagining dark cozy corners with piles of blankets and hot cocoa in every mug.”—Library Journal

“Fireplaces and cozy throws abound, and a handful of recipes, including one for fondue from the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland, offer readers an at-home taste of the lifestyle.”—Publishers Weekly

Alpine Style is a compendium of some of the most exquisite mountain interior design projects on the planet...as enchanting as the mountains themselves. Whether storybook and classic or sleek and modern, these alpine interiors from across the globe are tailor-made for après-ski fun.

From residential projects in Utah to ski-in, ski-out hotels in France, these are the types of rooms where exposed beams, shearling rugs, sumptuous textiles and stone fireplaces provide all the warmth and hygge-factor of a fresh pot of fondue. Throughout the book, you’ll find iconic mountain recipes (such as a boozy milkshake that’s been served in Aspen’s Hotel Jerome since Prohibition), insider tips on how to live your best life at altitude each season, and rooms that are the interior design equivalent of Grace Kelly in Gstaad. Eternally classic, yet as fresh as that first October snowfall.
