One of the Best Home Cinema Rooms in France
It is a bold claim, but we strongly believe this is one of the finest home cinema rooms — salle de cinéma privée — in France, certainly in the Megève area. This 600m² eight-bedroom chalet has everything a client could need: ski-in ski-out access, an indoor pool and spa complex, a heliport and a huge garage. It also has one of the finest private cinema rooms in the country. A 4m curved projector screen, a Sony 4K projector and an 11.4.2 Dolby Atmos surround system hidden behind wool-lined fabric walls combine to deliver a cinematic experience that rivals commercial cinemas.
The Technology
The hand-stretched wall fabric is fitted to a custom track system creating a shallow void around the entire room. This void houses the 11.4.2 Dolby Atmos speaker system and carefully positioned acoustic treatments. The audio comprises five front channel speakers behind the acoustically transparent screen (including two wide speakers), surround speakers level with each row, a further pair on the rear wall, and four subwoofers — each with three 10″ long-throw drivers. Two ceiling speakers provide Dolby Atmos height channels. The room has been extensively acoustically modelled and will exceed reference levels at all listening positions.

Seating and Trinnov Calibration
Custom-designed and built seating for eight, all fully motorised. The Trinnov surround sound system calibrates the room for multiple listener positions — ensuring the best possible experience from every seat, not just the central sweet spot. For a cinema room in a chalet that hosts a constantly changing roster of guests, this is a critical feature.
Alps Cinema — Megève
Custom Controls has been delivering ski chalet cinema and smart home installations across the French Alps for over a decade. Megève, Courchevel, Méribel, Val d’Isère and Les Gets are all within our regular installation geography. For clients with Alpine properties who want a cinema room at this level, this Megève installation is our reference project for the region.
Frequently Asked Questions — Megève Chalet Cinema
Why does a multi-guest chalet cinema need Trinnov processing?
Trinnov’s room correction calibrates audio for multiple listening positions simultaneously, rather than optimising only for a central sweet spot — essential in a chalet like this one, hosting a constantly changing roster of guests across every seat in the room.
What else does this Megève chalet feature?
The 600m², eight-bedroom chalet housing this cinema room also includes ski-in ski-out access, an indoor pool and spa complex, a heliport and a large garage — one of the most comprehensively specified alpine properties we have worked on.
How are speakers concealed within fabric-lined walls?
Hand-stretched wool-lined fabric is fitted to a custom track system creating a shallow void around the entire room, housing the full 11.4.2 speaker array and acoustic treatments completely out of sight.
