Chalet des Souchettes is a 5 bedroom chalet which comfortably sleeps 10 people, with 3 bathrooms, terrace and hot tub, located in Les Pelerins area close to Chamonix town centre.

Located in the popular Les Pelerins area close to the town centre, its layout makes for interesting rooms and spaces to enjoy throughout your stay, and the chalet is decorated in a traditional wooden style.

This Chamonix chalet has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 10 people. The large open plan living area has a sociable kitchen, a cosy sitting area with wood burning stove, fibre internet and a dining table to comfortably seat 8.

Windows around the chalet give glimpses of the majestic mountains beyond: the view of the Aiguille du Midi from the kitchen window will distract you from what you needed from the fridge, and the view from the porch up the length of the valley to Le Tour will get you excited as you pull on your hiking boots.

Chalet des Souchettes enjoys several interesting spaces for you to explore, including a master king bedroom in the eaves, with its own staircase access and ensuite bathroom. Additionally, the lower ground floor has a great teens' bunk room with built-in quad bunk beds, and an adjacent snug with TV, bean bags, as well as a double bedroom. All this is accessed via a clever ladder staircase (see photos), best suited to older kids and agile adults. Less mobile family members can comfortably use the bedrooms on the ground floor or the master bedroom.

As well as the master bedroom on the top floor and the bunk room downstairs, there is a double bedroom on the lower ground floor with an ensuite bathroom. The ground floor of Chalet des Souchettes has a kids' twin room and a king size bedroom too, with a separate bathroom adjacent.

The terrace of this Chamonix chalet faces south-west and so catches the best of the afternoon and evening sun in the summer. Gather together for an apéro and chat about your day's adventures as the sun makes its way behind the Aiguillette des Houches. You can also enjoy the hot tub on the terrace.

Please note there is an additional 100 EUR charge per person for groups larger than 8 people.

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 group accommodation

We stayed here as a group of 10 friends and felt like we had plenty of space and the ability to cook for everyone.
The accommodation is lovely and the view from the hottub is spectacular. I'd definitely book again.
Only slight negatives there was a maintenance guy out in the garden a couple of days installing irrigation and the BBQ didn't work.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear that you and your group enjoyed the chalet and would be happy to return! We do apologise for the BBQ; if we had known about the issue, we certainly would have been on hand to get it working again. Noted that you were disturbed by maintenance and apologise for this - it's always helpful to have our guests' feedback so we can continue to improve our services. Hopefully we will see you again in the future!

Great family accommodation

Souchettes is a great family chalet especially if you have a car. We have had many winter holidays here. The chalet has 4 decent bedrooms 2 en-suite and a family bathroom. The kitchen is well designed open plan, takes a while getting used to ceramic hob. Table seats 8 comfortably. Boot room has access door for easy loading of boots and skis in the morning. Downstairs play area has books & toys to keep most youngster amused for a few hours. However steep stair/ ladder to it is tricky for very young or old
We drive to different ski areas each day depending on weather forecast. It takes between 10-15 mins for Chamonix ski lifts or further afield Courmayeur through tunnel or Megeve 40 mins, Verbier an hour. There is a garden to build snowmen and Hot tub on balcony.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review after your stay in Les Souchettes! The lower floor stairs are indeed very steep which is why we have put in a gate at the top of them. We are happy that you enjoyed the location of the chalet and hope to welcome you back to Chamonix soon !

A comfortable stay in a quiet location

Chalet des Souchettes is a charming chalet that's an easy walk from town, or a short bus ride. The quiet location makes it perfect for relaxing after a busy day in town. It has a huge, beautiful yard and a great deck. We found it fit all our needs for cooking and everyone slept comfortably. The bunk room is actually amazing because without any windows, it's dark and quiet and stays cold enough that you can get a deep sleep. Chamonix All Year was excellent to work with -- super responsive and friendly. We'd stay here again!

Response from Chamonix All Year

Fabulous Family Holiday.

The chalet is fabulous in all aspects; location, accommodation, cleanliness, outside areas. Perfect for our multi-generation family gathering. Even a play area for our grandson.
Chamonix All Year responded immediately to any queries we had and could not have been more helpful.
Easy walk to town but a very quiet spot. Two bakeries and a supermarket within 6 min walk.
Highly recommended.

Response from Chamonix All Year

It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family at Chalet Souchettes. We are delighted that you had a wonderful time and could make the most of all the facilities offered, it is a favourite with families and groups of friends thanks to its homely feel and nice garden. The shops and bus stop are only few minutes away and it is a nice walk into town. Thank you again for your kind words, we hope to see you again back in Chamonix with us!

Lovely Chalet

We loved our stay, the accommodation was lovely, very spacious and very clean and comfortable. The chalet had everything you needed, kitchen was lovely and well stocked with plates, knives and utensils etc.

All bedrooms were lovely and clean and lovely and warm. The only negative was the lower floor has a very steep staircase. Also, it would have been handy to have a outside key to the boot room which is at the back of chalet. Without this you had to lock the door from the inside therefore bit a of a pain getting ski stuff all outside but having to walk back up to exit via front door.

Hot tub was definitely needed after a day on the slopes. The only comments I would make is that there was a 12 min walk to nearest bus stop (which was our main form of transport) which was find but feels longer carrying ski equipment! If you can get skis delivered I would recommend or choose a ski shop close to the bus stop as we used one in the town centre which was hassle to walk with everything (20-25mins walk)!

All in all a lovely stay, thank you!

Response from Chamonix All Year

Amazing location and beautiful chalet

We had a long stay in the chalet and found it to be a great space for a lot of people. The location is unbeatable if you want to get out of the chaos of town. It's a short 10 minute walk from the main pedestrian street and is super quiet. (With a great boulangerie on the walk!) The bus also runs every 30 minutes and drops you close. The big deck and backyard are wonderful for eating outdoors and enjoying views in all directions. The hot tub was an added bonus, but we didn't use it much because it was a hot summer. The open kitchen and living room makes it an enjoyable space for spending time with others. The kitchen tools could use a bit of an update; we found there were pots that were not compatible with the induction stove top for example. The beds are comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms. Note that the ceiling on the top level is angled with big wood beams, so not great for tall people. Chamonix All Year was wonderful to work with; super responsive! Overall it's a lovely chalet that we'd return to!

A great Chalet managed by a great company

We booked Chalet des Souchettes for a group of 9, and it was excellent. Dealing with Chamonix All Year was a pleasure, they were very helpful, friendly and prompt. The chalet was comfortable, warm and well laid out for large groups. I would definitely recommend the company and the chalet.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for staying with us, it was a pleasure to meet you and we hope to see you again in the future!
