Mont-Blanc ski chalet at Chamonix - Haute Savoie alpine ski holiday rental

Our traditional Swiss style chalet (altitude 1150m) was built at the end of the 1980's on what was an old lime stone mill at the foot of the Les Bossons glacier. Using stone blocks and timber and with the necessary double roof to hold the tons of wet winter snow, the chalet sits in 1400m² of private grounds and is well sheltered by pine forest, ensuring almost complete privacy. The 32m² ground floor open-plan studio has been regularly upgraded and is well furnished and decorated with new or hand crafted furniture. The thick stone exterior walls ensure that the chalet is insulated from the summer heat and well protected against the winter cold. It is centrally heated throughout.

Views:Mountain views

Floor Area:32 sq meters

Chamonix (altitude 1035m) is a mountain resort in the French Alps lying at the foot of Mont-Blanc, Europe's highest mountain, on the apex of the Swiss and Italian borders. It is a lively and cosmopolitan town with a permanent population of around 9,500 made up of 26 nationalities. This year-round sporting playground offers a host of activities from tennis, golf, walking and riding to handgliding and mountain biking in the summer. The winter season is just as dynamic with a huge range of on and off piste skiing.
