Alpine architecture varies all over the world, but when it comes to fancy resorts, most ski chalets have one thing in common: price tag. Here's what $10 million gets you in Megève, France, Telluride, Colo., and St. Moritz, Switzerland.

This 300 year-old house, designed in the traditional style of the Engadine region in the Swiss Alps, has just undergone a three-year-long renovation and is now equipped with a Balthaupt kitchen full of Gaggenau and Siemens appliances. (The house is being sold fully furnished.) There’s also a sauna, steam room, wine cellar, a four-car garage—with two additional parking spaces in front of the house—and even a dedicated room for ski equipment. By car, it’s about 15 minutes from the St. Moritz ski area and about two-and-a-half hours from the Zurich airport.
