Experience sweeping 270-degree panoramic mountain views from this rare European-inspired alpine chalet in sought-after Alpine Meadows. Originally built by a master Swiss craftsman, the residence reflects the authenticity and warmth of traditional Tyrolean architecture, expressed through hand finished ceilings, rich millwork, and enduring artisanal detail rarely found in contemporary mountain homes. In 2022, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation, thoughtfully balancing modern comfort with its original alpine character. The result is a residence that feels both timeless and refined — where craftsmanship and livability exist in quiet harmony. Set on a sunlit, level 9,750 sq. ft. landscaped lot bordered by tranquil greenspace, the property offers exceptional privacy and connection to nature. Spanning approximately 3,648 sq. ft. over three levels, the home includes 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, with a flexible suite that can be seamlessly integrated into the main living area. Expansive entertainment terraces of nearly 1,924 sq. ft. extend the living experience outdoors, capturing uninterrupted views of Whistler, Blackcomb, and surrounding peaks — a dramatic alpine backdrop that defines the home in every season. Located in one of Whistler’s most established residential neighbourhoods, the property offers convenient access to local schools, recreation, hiking, biking, and cross-country ski trails, with Whistler Village and Nicklaus North Golf Course just minutes away. Named “Haus Dorle,” the chalet carries a meaningful heritage — a tribute to Dorle, an Austrian immigrant whose entrepreneurial legacy includes introducing gummy bears to North America. This story of cultural heritage and pioneering spirit is woven into the identity of the home, reflecting the broader alpine influence that has shaped Whistler’s mountain culture.
