Welcome to our website. All the information you might need about our 8-bedroom mountain chalet is available by clicking on the tabs on the left.
The chalet consists of: a 50 sq.m. 2-bedroom apartment on the ground floor (the white-walled parts you seen in the picture below) and a large (200+ sq.m.) 6-bedroom section that we call ‘the chalet’ or ‘main chalet’, since it makes up over 80% of the floorspace of the whole building. There is a door between them, just off the entrance hall, so it is easy to combine them for one group of 16 people, or separate them for two groups of 12 + 4. Only the main chalet has access to the spa rooms (sauna, Jacuzzi, shower etc) and the laundry room.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call us or e-mail us on the contact details also on the left.
Both chalet & apartment are managed locally. Bookings are made on-line via this website.
We’ve been busy this winter (& summer!), or rather Chris & Jenny have. After re-grouting all the bathrooms in the summer, they got to work organising new carpets to be fitted in the chalet, where any signs of wear & tear had appeared (e.g. the stairs up to the top floor), and in the apartment, where both bedrooms were treated to new carpets.
Then they welcomed in the Les Contamines polisars, who drew up a long list of all the items & changes needed for the ‘classement‘. This long list having been knocked off, item by item, the chalet reached its 4* rating (5* was only possible if the ensuite bathrooms had separate loos, which isn’t going to happen!). The apartment made it to 3*, which wasn’t a great leap (it only meant buying a vacuum cleaner!). 4* for the apartment would have meant installing a washing machine, which we probably will do in the summer.
So, if you want to see what 4* looks like, take a look at the new sofa and armchairs, which arrived last week…
We’ve had honeymooners before…and no doubt more will come to stay in our 2-bedroom apartment in the mountains. What better place to escape to, if you don’t want to be enjoy some peace & quiet together before returning to the hurly burly? Here’s what our guests who stayed in our self-catered Alpine apartment in August had to say…
‘nous avons passés un excellent séjour dans votre appartement. Votre chalet est idéalement situé avec un envirronement au calme. Nous recherchons un bien à la vente correspondant à votre appartement sur les Contamines mais cela n’est pas facile. Peut-être reviendrons nous cet hiver.‘
Well, for those that don’t read French without pulling out the dictionary or cutting and pasting into Google Translate, this couple loved the seclusion of our mountain chalet so much that they’re looking to buy an apartment (like ours) in Les Contamines-Montjoie.
Good luck to them. It took us 8 years to find the kind of place we were after, in Les Contamines. We wanted a small mountain chalet, with good views, but ended up with a big one; that was the only compromise we made! The views, the sunsets, the tranquility are all inspiring.
Anyway, it sounds like the honeymooners might be back this winter, as they’ll struggle to find anywhere to buy before then.
