Photos and Description of this Les Houches holiday chalet Chalet - 4 bedrms, 3 bathrms, sleeps upto 10. Apt - 1 bedrm, 1 bathrm sleeps 4

The chalet + separate apartment (on the same property but entirely separate with its own private entrance) are superbly situated in the traditional village of Les Houches just 5km from the Alpine capital of Chamonix (free bus available). Perfect for skiing in winter (next to the pistes and just a 2 minute walk from the 2 cable cars - so close you can ski back for lunch!) and alpine adventures in summer, the Alpine Retreat has a large private garden with unbeatable views over the Mont Blanc mountain range. Just a 2-minute walk from shops, 5 restaurants, a bakery + several bars. The accommodation is very spacious, tastefully refurbished and of a very high standard. Free unlimited wifi internet access and free view satellite TV are available. Please note, you do not have to be a group of 10 to enjoy the spacious farmhouse with its 3 bathrooms and 2 reception rooms; we often have groups of 4 - 6 people relaxing in the comfort of the farmhouse.

Les Houches is a traditional Savoyarde village at the base of Mont Blanc, 5 km from Chamonix.  It has a range of activities to please every taste.  Summer: visitors enjoy hiking, mountain biking, rafting, climbing, paragliding, canyoning, glacial walking, to name just a few.  All are easily accessible using several cable cars (the nearest is just 2 minutes by foot), mountain trains, local buses + well marked trails.  Winter, Les Houches is one of 5 ski resorts in the Chamonix valley. The pretty tree-lined pistes whilst family-friendly provide challenging skiing for all - it hosts the Men’s World Cup Downhill race each year.  There are numerous restaurants + being next to the pistes, you can pop back for lunch! Local attractions: huski dogs, St Bernard kennels, ice-skating, indoor climbing, sledging (in the garden + at a park), swimming etc.  A free bus (and train) give easy access to Chamonix + the surrounding resorts.  Day trips to Italy + skiing the Vallee Blanche are popular.

Further details for this holiday chalet rental in Les Houches, France

Travel.: Most of our guests either fly to Geneva airport (EasyJet) which is less than an hour's drive/bus journey away, or they drive from the UK (8 hours from the French ferry ports). Other nearby airports include Turin (1 3/4 hrs drive) Lyon (2 hrs) and Milan (3 hrs). Car hire is available at all of these airports. We can arrange transfers from Geneva airport if required.

Ski: Our location is unbeatable; next to the pistes of Les Houches (one of the 5 resorts that make up the Chamonix valley) - a large family resort which has skiing to suite every level. Even the Men's World Cup downhill race is held here each year on the red piste that runs past the end of the garden! There are more than 20 ski runs giving miles of pistes + the tree-lined trails are undoubtedly the best in the valley. The 2 cable cars, (located 2 minutes from the Retreat) + numerous chair lifts give easy access to the extensive skiing area on our doorstep and the huge range of traditional mountain restaurants make the resort one which many visit year after year. Over 100 snow canons make skiing back to the village/chalet a reality throughout the season and local transport is available (nearest bus stop is just 50 meters from the Alpine Retreat) enabling free access to the other resorts in the valley for those without a car.

Other Activities: Skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hiking, climbing (rock and ice), rafting, canyoning

Summer stay at Alpine Retreat

Alan Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
Review Submitted: July 27, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We made a summer stay at Alpine Retreat and had excellent weather. We found it spacious, clean and well-fitted and equipped, with plenty of facilities, including several showers and bathrooms. The 16th century wood-panelled sitting room is beautifully restored. The highlight for us was the perfect view both from the house and extensive garden to Mont Blanc summit and many of the Aiguilles, . Early morning and evening scenes were breathtaking! Chamonix, 10 mins drive away, is the centre of a busy climbing and walking area with dozens of paths, teleferiques and climbs. Rob and Suzanne are charming hosts. They manage to be most helpful and interested without being in your face. Only issue - in hot summer weather if it's necessary to have the double-glazed windows open at night there can be noise from occasional vehicles passing on the small local road outside.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing
