About the Chalet

The chalet, which faces south, was originally built in 1950. Now completely renovated, it retains the warm feel of the mountain guide's home it once was. Built of granite faced by traditional river-sand render on the ground floor, and solid larch wood on the top, with a traditional cedar-tiled roof, it's a wonderfully welcoming house.

Outside

There is plenty of off-street private parking with room for up to four cars. The ski shed provides ideal storage for skis, bikes, boards and boots with racks for skis or snowboards and boot dryers.
Garden and Hot Tub

The garden is huge (about two-thirds of an acre) and is bordered by the forest surrounding the chalet. Just through the woods, you can glimpse the cross-country ski trails which run beside the river. The views are spectacular in all directions - you can see Flegere, Brevent, Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, the Dru and many more.

Our large hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy an Alpine sunset on these peaks. Please note that, in order to ensure you have sparkling clean water in the hot tub, we refill it with fresh water for each set of guests, so it may be unavailable on the first night, as it could still be heating up.

The wood-burning barrel sauna is a wonderful way to relax. Put three logs in the stove, light it and return in 20 minutes time for the most calming sauna imaginable - listening to the crackle of the fire as the heat soothes your muscles...
Living room

The spacious and beautiful living room has squashy and very comfortable sofas, a widescreen TV with DVD player and PS2, stereo with iPod dock and a bar with plenty of glasses. There are games (including a Scalextric set), an extensive DVD collection and a selection of books including plenty about the mountains.

There's a phone which you are welcome to use for local and incoming calls. Bring a laptop to access our wireless broadband - useful for checking weather forecasts and lifts.

The huge covered balcony is a lovely place to listen to the river and watch the snow and has tables and chairs. You are welcome to smoke on the balcony (though not elsewhere in the chalet). There's an upstairs mezzanine den with seats and cushions, where you can retreat and laze if you prefer.
