Charming alpine chalet, huge garden, panoramic views

Chalet Clos Parchet is a beautiful, 2-bedroom, south-facing chalet in a stunning, peaceful location above the centre of Samoens. Set in its own huge garden, there are spectacular panoramic views of the Giffre valley and mountains beyond. Recently renovated to a high standard, the chalet comfortably sleeps 4-6. Downstairs is a spacious, well-equipped kitchen/diner with traditional log-burning range and dining for up to 6 people. The open-plan living room boasts a wooden floor, fireplace and generous sofa. The family shower-room has been completely refurbished. Upstairs are 2 sunny, double bedrooms, one with a balcony. The garden provides the perfect winter setting for playing in the snow and tobogganing: in summer for relaxing in the sun whilst listening to the sound of cow bells. Walking and mountain bike trails start from the chalet. The chalet is just 5 minutes drive to the centre of Samoens and then to the Samoens Gondola, providing access to Samoens 1600 and the resort of Flaine.
