From the owner

Our petit chalet was handmade 25 years ago by my craftsman neighbor, whose family has lived in this valley for more than 200 years. We have a colorful organic garden and fruit trees, 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and a mezzanine with two twin beds upstairs. We're situated in a very private sun-filled spot in the village. So you can get up every morning before skiing and walk down to the boulangerie for your fresh, warm baguette like a local and return home to sit in the sun on the terrace in complete privacy. Our back terrace has a barbecue, picnic table and umbrella. It looks out over magnificent views of the close, glaciated mountains and wide sunny valley. There are beds and seating for 6, but 5 would be more comfortable given the chalet is small, there is one shower room and one toilet room. There's a wood fire in the chalet and firewood is included. Large interior chest inside the chalet is available for ski boots and there's a ski/snowboard locker outside.

Minimum number of nights allowed is flexible; please ask. No smoking inside, please.

Addressing COVID 19 - To help ease uncertainty during this time, we're closely monitoring official guidance from local government and health authorities as well as listening to feedback from our neighbors and friends.

We maintain our advance notice cancellation policy and will strive to honor your reservation in our chalet if the novel coronavirus interferes with travel plans in the coming year. Be well!

Interaction with guest

Please let me know how we can assist you. We lived in the chalet full-time for seven years, so I think you'll find all the amenities you might like to see - you can even mix and bake a cake! Please enjoy. I apologize in advance for slow response time as I'm often answering from the United States west coast (8hrs. behind GMT) - often when you send me a question, I've just gone to sleep ;^)

    Lovely little chalet in the perfect location
    Feb 2016

    Small but perfectly formed. Exactly as described. Everything that we wanted. Cathy and Sarah her representative in the village were more than helpful. We hope to stay there again.

    Response from the owner
    Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Penny. I'm happy that everybody enjoyed themselves and that you'd like to return. I was very concerned that it would be too small for your group of five adults and a youth. But I'm convinced having a warm, tight family with us makes up for inconveniences like waiting for the shower. Hurry back! Cathy

    I love the location too, right there along the fabulous Tour de Mont Blanc trekking route, that takes you through Italy, Switzerland and back through France. There isn't a season that is best there. I look forward to having you try winter next time!
