Best of: Chalets in Chamonix

With more than 20 years’ experience with chalet rentals in Chamonix, we think we have a pretty good idea of exactly what our guests want, and how to deliver it to you. Don’t just take our word for it – read what our guests have written about us, and the opinions of those who keep coming back…

Summer and Winter give totally opposing experiences of the Chamonix valley; both vying for ‘best time of the year’ award.

We’ve compiled a list of rentals that make the most of Chamonix amidst the summer buzz, and that maximise the cosier snowy season. We’ve included classics, French-style and authentic; some modern & state-of-the-art, and some of our more spacious chalets for big groups travelling together.

Spacious Chalets

These chalets have that extra little bit of floor space and room to skip and gallop – perfect for a large group, or very athletic children!

A truly grandiose chalet is Montana. Spectacular views of the mountain-tops lend from its glass-wrapped panelling, with abundant space both inside and outside the chalet, including its wide South & West facing balconies & extended decking, kissed by the sun from dusk ‘till dawn. This is the chalet you imagine when one says ‘Huge French Chalet’, and it does not disappoint. Among its cinema room and integrated sound system, wide-open kitchen to lounge area and spa amenities, this chalet is the definition of luxury.

Classic Chalets

One of the best things about visiting France is to truly feel the French (Savoyard in our case), mountain atmosphere ooze from the original wooden beams and authentic architectural features. These chalets perfectly encapsulate that Alpine energy:

Wood, wood, wood, as far as the eye can see – with a gorgeous open deck leading out to the garden, and a jacuzzi hot tub directly on the balcony, this chalet is perfect for light-lovers, with sunshine pouring in from the south facing doors. And if you’re after a cosy night in, the Italian shower and luxury wide bathtub will have you relaxed in no time. 

Sleeps: 10

Bedrooms: 5 

Special features: South-West facing terrace with jacuzzi hot tub, built-in quad bunk room, bedrooms that open out onto terrace

Our grand and authentic Chalet Panache resides on the equally peaceful other side of town, just past the infamous QC Terme Spa.
Not that you’d need to visit the spa; this gorgeous chalet has its own in-built jacuzzi and a sun-trap decking that gives the beach a run for its money. With a delightful interior, and fantastic mountain views – what can I say, it’s got panache! 

Sleeps: 8

Bedrooms: 4 

Special features: In-built jacuzzi, private garden with BBQ, large balcony with Mont Blanc views (what more could you want?)

True to its name, Chalet du Gouter gives you a real taste of what it means to be in the French mountains.

Whether you’re visiting to toast your toes by the fire or to climb the Aiguilles at the crack of dawn, Chalet du Gouter will welcome you home.
