RecommendedEcxellent
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...!
RecommendedGreat 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.
RecommendedA 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!
RecommendedPerfect 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.
RecommendedComfortable 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.
RecommendedA 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.
RecommendedGood 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.
RecommendedPerfect property to stay
I would love to return next year , clean, perfect location, comfortable, this’s my second vacation I stayed in this chalet and I will do it again in the nearest holiday
RecommendedShort 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.
RecommendedMagnificent
I loved the city, chalet in terms of location, view, clearance, hospitality, it was very nice vacation, indeed I will do it again at the same place
RecommendedBeautiful Chalet
Beautiful home with plenty of space for 7 people with ski gear. We cooked lots of meals and the kitchen is well equipped. Great location, 15 mins to town
RecommendedBest 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.
RecommendedVery well located and comfortable chalet
Our family had a nice time in this well located and comfortable chalet. We were 10 people and enjoyed the views and amenities offered.
RecommendedChalet 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.
