Chalet Kiana is near the centre of the picturesque Savoyard village of Les Contamines Montjoie. Nestling beside the Mont Blanc Massif, and at the end of the Val Montjoie, the village has an excellent ski area for all levels, an enviable snow record and an impressive range of outdoor activities in winter and summer. It has maintained its traditional atmosphere while offering a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants.

In Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay - Mountains of Europe (ski chalets, hotels and B&Bs), he refers to Chalet Kiana as a “chalet [built] in the traditional way and plonked [it] in the perfect place: a lovely quiet spot on the edge of perfect village. You have light and airy bedrooms named after glaciers, blond-pine walls and ceilings, balconies with splendid views”.

 

 

The Good Ski-ing & Snowboarding Guide refers to Les Contamines as an “unspoilt resort” with a “keen followship” which “holds its snow well” even “when neighbouring resorts have none. Off-piste enthusiasts can find virtually untouched powder all over the area after a fresh snowfall”.

The chalet is listed with 4**** in a number of guides and featured in Alpes Magazine as the place to be in Les Contamines!
