In/out traditional 4 bedroom chalet on the piste in old Savoyard village

Built in 1996 in all-wood, this chalet lies at the foot of a beautiful piste and about 150 metres from the 6-man express lift up into the Portes du Soleil system. It is situated about 10 minutes' walk from the centre of Les Gets, a beautifully maintained old Savoyard village with a long tradition of skiing. Keen skiers can ski from the chalet to Switzerland and back in a day. There are 2 bedrooms with double beds and 2 bedrooms with a pair of single beds in each. The living room has comfortable soft furniture at one end with an open fireplace and a kitchen-diner at the other end with a large pine dining table and chairs for 8. The kitchen area has all the equipment that any guest is likely to want and plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery. The shower room downstairs has a washer/dryer. There is a large decked terrace outside the living room and guests can use the garden furniture. There is a garage with room for all ski equipment and a carport.

The village of Les Gets dates back to the late 19th century. It began its history as a ski resort in the 1930s. Now it is one of the most popular resorts in Europe. It is wonderful in summer too. The local people love their village and this shows itself in the way they decorate it and care of it. All buildings are required to be in chalet-style which gives the village a unique charm. Les Gets lies at one end of the so-called 'Portes du Soleil system' which is a chain of villages linked by a ski-lift system that creates some 650 kilometres of pistes and stretches over to Switzerland via Morzine and Avoriaz. There is also a small ski resort at Praz de Lys, some 15 minutes away by car and the vaste ski area of Flaine can be reached by a 20 minute. Shops in Les Gets are a 10 minutes' walk from the chalet and there is a small supermarket about 6 mins' walk away. A free bus circulating round the village passes 150 mtrs from the chalet. The ESF and a very-well run creche are in the village.

Local activities swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, horse riding, ski, golf, mountain biking, mountaineering, paragliding

Notes to the rental rates

  • (i) The rates include electricity (heating is all-electric) and logs.
  • (ii) The rates do not include cleaning. It is the guests responsibility to leave the chalet in the condition in which they find it. This is normal in rented accommodation in the French Alpine resorts. However, we have secured the services of an excellent chalet management team who will provide end-of-stay cleaning, as well as bed linen and towel hire. This can all be arranged through the owners. The end-of-stay clean is cheaper if booked through the owners.
  • (iii) A damage/cleaning deposit of £450 is payable when the full payment is made and is returnable on departure, subject to any due deductions which the owners would expect to agree with the renters. The chalet is inspected by the caretaker on the day of departure and it is hoped that the guests would be present to discuss any possible deduction in advance. The owners very much hope that it will never be necessary to make any such deductions. None has been deducted so far.
    (iv) All prices are negotiable, particularly if more than 7 days are taken. The owner is prepared to let for less than 7 days at a price to be negotiated.
    (v) A non-refundable deposit of 25% is payable on booking. The balance is payable 6 weeks before the start date. (vi) Guests are encouraged to take out travel insurance in respect of any cancellation made after payment.

Notes:

The chalet best fits the description of 'detached'; however it is in fact garage-linked i.e. it is joined to the next chalet only by its garage. In winter the chalet is predominantly suitable for skiers. As there is a downstairs bedroom and a downstairs cloakroom and shower room, it is perfectly suitable for the elderly and the infirm, but only if they remain downstairs, since the staircase is not suitable for them. Whilst children are welcome, it is not possible to provide protection from the open fire (in common with most traditional chalets). The chalet is most likely to suit those who can already ski, as they would particularly benefit from the adjacent ski lift and the immediate access to the piste. They would be able to ski 'in/out' without having to walk to the centre of the village or take the free bus. It is possible to hire bed linen, towels, cots and high chairs. It is possible to book taxi transport from Geneva and the provision of ski/boot hire to the chalet.

Further information:

The owners are happy to discuss any aspect of the chalet and the area with enquirers and to provide any other information that may be needed.

Ski equipment storage and cars:

Ski equipment can be stored in the racks in the garage. The car port is big enough for an MPV with box. The garage can house a medium-sized car with no box. In winter there is sufficient parking for only one more car outside the chalet and the carport due to the accumulation of snow, but in summer there is parking for 2 - 3 cars outside the chalet and the car port. It is advisable to have one set of snow chains in winter.

Smoking:

The chalet is let on a strictly 'no smoking' basis. The chalet is all wood and therefore vulnerable to fire. It is also impossible to remove the smell of cigarettes between guests. Guests can smoke outside but are asked to kindly not leave butts on the ground.

Skiing Information:

Les Gets is a well-known and popular ski resort. There is more than ample opportunity to buy and rent all manner of ski equipment and clothing from experts in the village. It is also possible to have rented ski equipment brought to the chalet for fitting and delivery/return. The ESF school is very busy and it may be advisable to prebook lessons, in particular individual ones. There are excellent child-care facilities available for babies and small children in the centre of the village but it is important to reserve places in advance.
