Getting Around

The Chamonix valley sits at the foot of Mont Blanc in the heart of the French Alps, displaying glaciers and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains all around. Chamonix valley is ranked one of the top skiing and boarding resorts in the world and while Chamonix is famous for skiing in the winter, you may be surprised to hear that the summer time is just as popular - walking, hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, water rafting, mountain bike trails, even an 18 hole golf course! Not to mention major sports events such as the Mont Blanc Marathon and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.

Great stay

Perfect for our short break. The chalet was very clean and well equipped for the 9 of us who stayed, 7 adults, 2 teenagers. Location wise it’s in a quiet residential street about 5 mins walk from bus stop. If you’re looking for a quick stroll into town or have no car you may want to choose somewhere central as chamonix’s bus service is not the best compared to other resorts, we were unable to get on in a few cases. Would recommended.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you very much for your kind review of our chalet. We passed your comments about cleanliness onto our housekeeping manager and it made her day! We’re so glad you had an enjoyable time at Chalet de l'Ours!

Chalet qui a répondu à nos attentes .
La terrasse est un plus appréciable.
Un bain bouillonnant sous la terrasse serait agréable.
Parfois un peu compliqué du fait de la langue...!

Great customer service, clean location

Chamonix All Year has been extremely helpful with our requests, adding one more person last minute, changing transfer hours, allowing for late check out... They have been very responsive and fast.

The location is about a 15 minute walk from Chamonix center, and it was easy to get to. It was clean and comfortable for our 6 person group.

A lovely Chalet

We had such a lovely visit to Chalet de l’Ours. Our family of 7 fit very comfortably in to the bedrooms which each had beautiful beds and fresh linens. The windows in each room offered their own unique views of the surrounding areas as well. The staff at Chamonix all year were very accommodating to our requests, and the check in/check out process was simple and easy. Highly recommend!

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for leaving your lovely review of Chalet de l'Ours and your kind words about our team. We're very glad to hear that you enjoyed both the indoors of the chalet and the beautiful outdoors surrounding it. We hope to see you again in the future!

Perfect stay

Stayed for one week with our two boys aged 16 and 13. The chalet was perfectly clean and very comfortable and had a stunning garden with beautiful views (even better than the photos). Please notes that the 2 double rooms are not very big but I think this is typical for chalets in Chamonix and the bedroom in the loft is for small children only due to height restriction. The kitchen, dining and lounge area is really lovely and the deck is a perfect place to have breakfast. Would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable modern chalet with great views

Our group of 6 enjoyed our stay at Chalet l'Ours in July 2019. It has recently been refurbished to a good standard and the open plan living and kitchen area has great views and 3 sets of doors to he balcony overlooking the town and up to Mont Blanc. The kitchen was particularly well equipped.
The only downsides were that the road to the Mont Blanc tunnel is not far away so there is some traffic noise, although this wasn't a problem for us, and the sitting area didn't have enough comfortable chairs for 6, but again not a problem as we were mainly outside.
The location is suburban rather than central, so there is a walk or easy bus ride to the centre - buses are free with the guest pass and go every 30 mins, or it was only 10 to 15 minutes' walk. There is a great boulangerie and patisserie much closer, at the bottom of the road opposite the hospital, about 5 mins away.
Overall it was a very practical and enjoyable place to stay and we'd happily use it again.

A great place for two families with children

We were two families with lots of kids and we loved our time at Chalet de l'Ours. The views of Mont Blanc from the deck were amazing. There was a really large grassed area which was great for outdoor games for the children. It was an easy and safe walk into town. WiFi was strong and consistent. It was spotless, all appliances and services were new and there was plenty of equipment for two large families. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Good result

We had a great half term week. 4 adults , 5 kids.
Warm, clean, everything works.
Shots do t show the best feature which is the range of amazing views, up to MB, over the town, down the valley.

Upstairs- ceilings too low do kids only
Basement- pretty basic and functional
Main floor - kitchen diner outstanding, but sitting area way too small- we didn’t find ourselves relaxing there once.
Drive, garage and garden all good. Supermarket near enough.

Short Trip in February

We booked late as a party of 8 for February 2018. We came for 5 nights. This is an excellent chalet, it is spacious, clean and comfortable. Chamonix All Year organised the passes, ski hire, ski lessons and transfers for our group and it all worked well. The one drawback was we did not have a car so it was a 10 minute walk to the bus stop each day in ski boots and carrying our skis/poles. This was our first visit to Chamonix and it took us a little while to figure out how to get around the town. It is about a 15 minute walk from the centre of Chamonix. It worked well for us.

Best New Years Vacation

Despite the ski condition being unfavorable, in fact some reported the worst season in years, yet the Chalet was phenomenal. We loved our stay in Chamonix. There is so much to do in the city and the Chamonix all year team was always ready to help.

As for the Chalet it easily accommodates 6-8 adults in addition 2 kids. The rooms were good size. Closet space is limited but there are some extra rooms/halls to store luggage. The temperate control is great. The fire place added great ambiance.

Parking easily accommodates two cars. The walk to town was 10 minutes and was a great start to the day.

We loved our stay and will likely repeat it next year.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Chalet de L'Ours

Lovely brand new chalet. Slightly odd arrangements of bedrooms/bathrooms but on the whole doable. Definitely not a ten minute walk into centre of town more like 20 and we were there in summer so not sure what winter would be like. Nearest bar 15 minutes. nearest supermarket 15 minutes at least in opposite direction to town.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your review of Chalet de l'Ours, we're very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your tips about the location too, guests interested in the apartment should know that tThe chalet is an easy, straight walk into the centre of Chamonix, though depending on your pace it can take a little longer, or less time and the bus stops just at the end of the lane in summer and winter. We hope to see you back again in the future.
