Wonderfull stay.

This is a truly great chalet in a very convenient location. Everything you need will be there and in good condition. You can easily reach various starting points to enter the ski resort, the supermarket is close by, and although the main road is right below, it is a really quite place to stay.
Emma, who is renting out the place, was great in communicating everything and made sure we had a good start to our vacation.
I can recommend this chalet without reservation!

We had a lovely week in Chapelle. The mountains are beautiful and there are lots of things to do. The house is spacious and clean. Everything you need is available. We have made trips to Montreux, Lausanne, Evian and Thonon. We also had soms niet hikes and have experienced the Fantasticable in Chatel. We highly recommend this house.

Nice place for holidays
Very good contact with the owner-Emma. The chalet is comfortable, well equipped and located halfway between Chapelle d'Abondance and Chatel. Do not hesitate to book the place for holidays...

Easygoing winter getaway
What a nice holiday home in a very quiet and charming area. Although it is only a few minutes’ drive to the ski lifts, you are in the middle of the Portes du Soleil area in no time. You can also opt for the often very quiet local ski areas. The chalet is a perfect base with all the facilities you could wish for. Spacious, neat and clean and a lovely south-facing balcony. March gives enough sun in the valley but I can imagine that in January the sun doesn't shine as well over the mountain. Everything works properly and communication with the owner was perfect. Very nice that we could stay here with our dogs.

Vive les sports d’hiver !
Le chalet est idéalement situé, rendant accessible à pied le domaine nordique ; en 10 minutes de voiture, on est au pied des pistes du domaine de ski alpin des Portes du Soleil, qui porte très bien son nom.
Le chalet est très bien équipé, avec une cheminée qui rend le salon très cosy. Les chambres sont grandes et l’agencement permet à chacun d’avoir son intimité.
Nous reviendrons !

Chalet with a view
We stayed for a week in this chalet during a week in January. The chalet is spacious, well equipped, and has a fantastic view from the large window in the living room. The nearby village of Chapel d'Abbondance is charming and offers various nice restaurants. The village Chatel offers also many shops and is more turistic. Directly opposite the road is a path along the river for a walk whilst enjoying nature. There are several options for skiing, depending how advanced you are. Emma, the owner of the chalet, quickly assisted us when we didn't manage to lock the door, as we hadn't understood the French way of pulling the door handle up, whilst locking the door! We had a wonderful holiday!

Un chalet agréable avec une très belle vue
Chalet agréable, pratique, avec des accès sur l'extérieur nombreux et pratiques. Une hôtesse charmante.
La pièce du bas avec la salle de bain est un peu étrangement agencée.

The location of Emma’s chalet is incredible. At a couple of hundred meters there is this farm selling delicious local cheese. There is also a proper supermarket at a 3 minutes’ drive. There are skitouring options within walking distance, on the first day we literally put on the skis on the balcony and skied back down to it after a good day out (ok we were lucky with the snow). With a bit of fresh snow every night the drive provided the perfect learning slope for our 4 year old on skis and for the smaller kids on sledges. We also ventured on foot to La Panthiaz where there is a sledge slope between the cross-country runs, nice day out with the little ones too!
There is plenty of space for skis, sledges and the like in the basement, although things didn’t dry very well there so we took jackets, gloves & co upstairs for drying. There is a user-friendly fireplace providing a super cosy atmosphere in the evenings (and remarkably powerful as heating actually!) with plenty of dried wood just outside the chalet. A great kitchen with enough room to do proper cooking for 2 families, 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms… what else do you want? The carport is also a nice topping, saving you the usual car de-snowing in the morning.
In this Corona season all French lifts were closed and not many tourists around, so we had huge amounts of untouched snow and virtually no one to steal us the first track up or down through forests and virgin faces of powder. If snow is less good but lifts are open, the Châtel, Morgins & Avoriaz resorts provide options to easily fill up one week and not get bored!

Magnifique séjour familial
Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour dans ce chalet. Tout était impeccable, propre et fonctionnel. Mes enfants , petits enfants et moi-même avons passé le réveillon dans une ambiance familiale, devant un feu de cheminée et tout était parfait. Les pistes de ski étaient proches . Je conseille cette location

très beau chalet, idéal pour un séjour familial
Chalet impeccablement préparé pour notre arrivée, accueillant, cosy, très bien équipé, pour l'été comme pour l'hiver, où nous avons pu nous retrouver en famille avec énormément de bonheur.
Les contacts avec les propriétaires, bien qu'épistolaires, sont aisés et chaleureux.

Accueillant, confortable et bien situé.
Ce chalet est vraiment bien agréable, accueillant et confortable. Il est idéalement situé (à 4 minutes des œufs de Braitaz, à 5 min de l'intermarché et à une dizaine du parking du Crêt Béni.
L'agencement des pièces permet à chacun d'avoir son intimité en dehors de l'espace de vie commune (living et cuisine) qui sont eux même très pratique. La literie est bonne. Bref on y a passé un excellent séjour.
On y reviendra volontiers l'année prochaine :-)

Heerlijke woning met alle erop en eraan wat je nodig hebt
Wij hebben deze woning een week gehuurd met 7 personen. Het is ons heel goed bevallen. Mooi huis, alle benodigde voorzieningen waren er varierend van ruim voldoende toiletpapier tot kruiden en handzeepjes bij de wastafels. Heel veel hout voor de heerlijke open haard. Het contact met de eigenaar verliep heel soepel. Het huis was ook brandschoon. Goede bedden en prima douche/bad. Echt een aanrader!
