About this chalet rental
[COVID 19. While we are still affected by the Covid 19 pandemic we are following the guidance of local authorities on opening our property. As restrictions are lifted we look forward to reopening fully, but cannot guarantee that our description of available local activities will be accurate. We may also have to adapt our changeover arrangements to comply with regulations and will ask our clients to follow guidelines given. ]
For summer 2021, June to October, we are offering free "Multipass de Portes du Soleil" to our guests (max 6 passes). The Multipass allows free access to many of the summer activities in the 12 villages comprising the Portes du Soleil area - swimming, ski lifts, tennis, mini golf, museums, local buses etc and would normally cost €11 per day per person.
Chalet Arthur was built in 1989 as a family home. Its 3 bedrooms (1 double, 2 twins) together with 2 beds on a mezzanine floor provide excellent accomodation for up to 8 guests. The ground floor has 1 bedroom and an L shaped lounge with fireplace and a spacious dining area. Patio doors lead out to the small eating terrace and garden which adjoins the owners farmhouse and field. A new kitchen was installed in 2012 with oven, 4 ring induction hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, everything you need. The ground floor has a shower room with basin, WC, and washing machine, while upstairs there is a bathroom with a large bath/shower, basin and WC. The Television, DVD player and some games are in the separate mezzanine lounge.
The chalet has a garage and off road parking for 2-3 cars.
We strive at all times to maintain and improve the chalet which has secured three star status in the new French system.
Winter Activities: The Portes du Soleil is one of the largest linked ski areas in the world. If that was not enough there are many other large resorts within 1 1/2 hours - Flaine, Verbier, Crans Montana , Argentiere etc. For beginners the village ski bus passes the door, but we recommend a car to profit from all the areas on your Portes Du Soleil skipass.
Summer Activities: There are hundreds of marked footpaths through the local Alps and mountains and Chatel has an impressive range of mountain bike routes accessible by the ski lifts.
Lake Geneva has shopping, beaches, lake excursions, thermal baths and innumerable summer festivals, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Chalet Arthur has a large garden in which to relax and enjoy the mountain and forest views or have a BBQ. May and June are months which enjoy an explosion of summer flowers and colours.
Out of season: the pleasures of this valley are often as good in low season as in the busy holiday periods. The flowers can be at their best and the ski and walking routes are quieter. Local fetes are colourful and interesting and it can be cheaper both to travel here and stay here.

Beautiful area and lovely chalet (everything we needed). Very comfortable, warm and welcoming. We went to ski as a family and although the snow was sparse, it was enough for us. Arthur is in an ideal location. Peaceful yet conveniently placed for food shopping, skiing and villages, yet away from the hustle and bustle. Richard and Angela were perfect hosts. Lovely to meet them!

Beyond expectations
Our skiing trip/stay at Chalet Arthur was beyond expectations. The surroundings and the chalet are wonderful, even better than the pictures; the atmosphere, a warm authentic interior, a cosy fireplace...
The chalet is amazingly well equipped and accommodating. At arrival, towels, bed linnen, washing up liquids, toiletpaper etc were available and even cleaning and laundry charge are included.
There is a key box (you will receive a code) at the front door; late arrival was not a problem. Also very convenient, a big supermarket (±500m) towards Chatel, were you can buy everything.
Richard the owner was extremely helpful. One of the us left his passport/credit card in a drawer; the next day he already send us a package!
We highly recommend Chalet Arthur to everyone, thank you Richard for being the perfect host!

Séjour toujours aussi agréable
Cela fait la deuxième fois que nous louons ce chalet « Arthur ». L’accueil n’a pas changé toujours aussi convivial. L’environnement est très reposant avec ces belles vues sur les montagnes.
Les propriétaires sont très très sympathiques et disponibles dès que nous avons besoin de quoique se soit.
Encore un grand merci à vous Angèle et Richard.
À une prochaine visite j’en suis sûre.

Great
Chalet Arthur is a great place to stay for a summer holiday. We went for hikes in the mountains (up by lift), bike tours (e-bikes), cultural tours (Evian, Lac Lemand). Richard, the owner, gave us many good tips. The chalet is very comfortable and cosy and clean, and has a quiet and beautiful surrounding. We recommend this chalet to everyone who likes the mountains!

Le chalet est très propre , spacieux et confortable , parfait pour une famille.

La cuisine est propre , de même que les salles de bains et les chambres.
Il y a une table dans le jardin pour manger quand il fait beau avec l'air frais et le calme.

Christmas in the Alps
A very welcoming and warm cosy Chalet, with the owners being very helpful indeed. The kitchen is well equipped (unlike some other properties) and was appropriate for the max number of guests allowed. The owners were also very accommodating with our two small terriers. Very close to the ski bus stop and some beautiful walks on the nordic ski tracks. Thoroughly recommended for both Winter and Summer.

Chalet très agréable
Le chalet Arthur est très chaleureux, facile d’accès. Bien équipé, literie très confortable. Dommage qu’il n’y ai pas de télévision au rez de chaussée car escalier assez raide pour une personne âgée. Sinon tout était parfait. Merci pour le cadeau de bienvenue. A l’année prochaine peut-être.

Great experience at the French Alps! truly unforgettable :)
My wife and I wanted to escape from city madness and decided to take a risk at the Alps...and it was worth it! we got a dream spot to spend a week with the nature. Our host Mr. Richard was splendid at getting us like at home. Nearby areas such as Evian are great to visit and enjoy. It was a very different experience than any of our previous vacations in Europe and one of the greatest! We highly recommend this chalet and guarantee you will have everything you wanted ;)

Un beau séjour dans un chalet confortable
Un chalet très fonctionnel, proche de Châtel et de ses pistes (il faut par contre se garer dans un parking payant). Très bien pour une famille avec des enfants: luge, jeux de société, ...) Bel accueil à notre arrivée. Je recommande, nous reviendrons surement.

All Round Wonderful Holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chalet Arthur. The location was perfect for walking - the Abondance Valley offers lots of hikes from the easy to the more strenuous in areas of spectacular scenery so we were spoilt for choice. The chalet was very comfortable and well equipped, making our stay even more enjoyable. The owners, Richard and Angela, were very welcoming and helpful. There is plenty to see and do in this area of the Alps and, for us, the bonus was that it is relatively quiet at this time of year. Highly recommended.
5.0 / 10.0
The chalet is very nice and clean. Everything you need is there. We were with 4 adults and two small children, even for more persons are beds availible. Richard and Angela are very kind and hospital and will help you with everything, also the neighbour will help you. Very close is a big supermarket were you can buy everything. Also fuelstation next to the supermarket. In the village are good restaurants, you need to make a reservation for your visit. From this place you can easily visit Geneve, Annecy, Yvoire, Lausanne, Montreux, Chamonix and other more nice places. We recommend Yvoire and Cailler chocolat in Broc and Gruyeres.
5.0 / 10.0
We had a lovely one week stay in Chalet Arthur. The chalet is well equipped and spacious. It can easily accommodate 8 guests without it becoming crowded. It is well situated for many activities and trips to explore the region. There is a very good supermarket within walking distance from the house. Communication with Richard was very good and he always responded within a short time. The chalet was very clean on arrival and the beds comfortable with high quality mattresses. I can highly recommend this chalet for a great stay in a beautiful part of France. You do get away from it all in this valley. Hugo and Joubert families Cape Town
