About this chalet rental
Chalet Le Bambi is a luxury refurbished chalet completed in Summer 2011. It has 5 spacious bedrooms, a large open-plan living ding area of 50sqm, 3 full size bathrooms and a separate WC. Le Bambi's most exciting feature is its location - 100 meters to the ski lifts and next to an old ski run down to the village enabling you to ski home to the door. Fully refurbished in 2011 to the highest standard, Le Bambi has underfloor heating throughout the Chalet and a wood burning stove to ensure cozy evenings in. The views of Mont Joly, Dome de Miage, the village and ski run can be enjoyed from the floor to ceiling windows. There are double glass doors in the kitchen opening onto a large terrace which can be used for barbeques/outside dining once the weather improves! The chalet is perfect for a large family or two families as it has 3 bedrooms on the top floor and two on the lower floor with the kitchen/living area in between. Safety gates, high chair and cot available.
Newly renovated Ski Chalet: This beautiful chalet, located right by the ski lifts, offers the potential to ski to the door at the end of each day on the slopes. Renovated to the highest standard in 2010/2011 this property is only on the market for a few weeks each year. Located in Les Contamines, a beautiful traditional alpine resort which still retains its village atmosphere, it is just a short drive from the sparking lights of Megeve or the action of Chamonix. Les Contamines is part of the Evasion Ski area - a huge area of approx 445km of pistes. The chalet is a 10 minute walk into the centre of the village and there is a regular free shuttle bus during the winter which stops less than a minutes walk away. The main ski lift is less than a 100meters walk from the front door and it is possible to ski right into the back door of the chalet (off piste route). The chalet has lots of storage for skis and ski equipment and the wood burning stove is perfect to warm hands after a long day on the snow.
Family Friendly Chalet: Chalet Le Bambi is perfect for a family winter ski holiday or a summer time mountain escape. Les Contamines is know as a family friendly resort and caters perfectly for little people in the winter and the summer. The creche is only a 10 minute walk from the chalet and will take children on a weekly basic, half days or full days. The village is perfect for children in the summer with a fantastic park which includes a swimming lake with beach, a natural lake with pedal boats and fishing, tennis courts, crazy golf, trampolines, playground and a great high wire course. There is rock climbing close by, horse riding and biking and the village organises daily activities for children to take part in. The park is only a 15 minute walk from the chalet making it a perfect base.

Wonderful chalet, very well located and easy interactions with Steve the owner and Mark for the check in/out
10.0
This is a large and well kept Chalet. Everything worked and it was great to be near the lifts and footpaths
However - in Summer the nearby lift does not operate and the Gorge lift is thus a 1000 yard warmup walk.
Kitchen - lovely. With a great opening sliding window -
Televisions - Superb
Lounge was excellent
Bedrooms - slightly larger than some Chalets
Showers excellent
Boot room/Ski room terrific
Play room - wow. And big with it.
Outside - lovely to eat outside.
Highly recommended

Beautiful chalet, great location, high quality finish, made very welcome
A beautiful chalet a very short walk from the main lift from the village. Very clean and in great condition.
Well equipped kitchen. Playroom/den a real bonus. Full of plenty to keep all ages entertained after skiing.
Lots of helpful advice from agent Mark both on arrival and through stay when needed.
Lovely local restaurant within walking distance. (Air du temps).

Amazing
Location- perfect. Close to lifts.
Accommodation- Luxurious
Village- I love les Contamines. If I could live there I would.
Its the second time we've rented this property as a big family group, and the forth time, we've all been together for a week of skiing in les Contamines. And whats more - we are renting it again next year- booked already.
Active holiday in a traditional village. Highlight of the year for the family members.

Exceptional property located beside the gondola
Fantastic property and resort. Probably the best resort we have visited. Incredible, uncluttered skiing area, great places to eat on the mountain, friendly local bars and eateries. The food was top quality throughout and we had blue skis and perfect skiing conditions in the last week of March. In terms of food Les Bouche Croisse on the mountain and T-Brez in the village were particular highlights. The property itself was newly finished, tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. It is literally a 30 second walk to the gondola which was nice! It's probably a 5 to 10 minute walk to the centre of the village and the bus we took stopped right outside the door. I can't find any fault with this resort or property. It was worth every penny. Planning to visit again next year availability permitting - hard to imagine going anywhere else after that trip. After 20 years of ski holidays this was probably the most enjoyable I've had. I'd buy this place if I had the cash!!

Top notch Chalet, in a idyllic setting.
I had an enjoyable stay in Chalet and would recommend it to all my friends and family. Its location is perfect, which is right next to the cable car to bring you up the mountain. Accommodation is top notch, we will be back again.

Well equipped chalet in a really convenient spot
We had a lovely week at Chalet Bambi - there were nine of us in two families. The bathrooms were clean and nicely presented (and there were enough of them!) We loved the kitchen layout, especially the views and the sound of the stream outside. The bedrooms were fine - better perhaps than the photos here show - and the quality of sheets and towels was very good. We had a slight problem with the ground-floor macerator-driven loo, but the owner's representative in resort managed to fix this for us pretty quickly. This was our second visit to Les Contas and, knowing that the resort bus service can be a bit iffy, not having to use public transport because the lift is so close to the chalet was a real boon. And thanks (Steve) for clearing the drive before we arrived!

A home away from home!
The title says it all, location 10/10, amenities 10/10, description and photos did not do the property justice, absolutely superb. I would highly recommend this property.

Twee Bambi theme throughout.
The real horror began when I returned home and tried to get my deposit back. The owner fulfilled only half the transfer instruction, leaving my money stuck in a correspondent account. He ignored an email from his own bank dated March 29 telling him how to fix the problem. This email was shared with me. More than two weeks later he says he will do nothing more so I'm out a large sum of money because a man made a mistake and got mad.
This ordeal has gone on longer than two months and has left me traumatised and embittered with the trustworthiness of strangers.

Fantastic Chalet
There is only one word to describe this chalet, perfect! It's really beautiful inside and out and one of the best located chalets in the resort. The layout inside worked really well for our party of 11, including 5 kids,with plenty of space.
Location wise, I don't think you could get any better. It's a minute or so walk to the gondola and you can ski down a fairly easy red run pretty much to the front door. It was a busy half term week so not having to fight for a parking space was great.
Thank you for helping to make our children's first ski holiday so special. We hope to return very soon. The Kettlewell and Gleave families.

Perfectly located, stylish and comfortable chalet
Highly recommend this perfect chalet. Practically ski in, ski out (Located about a 1 minute walk from the ski lifts and if snow is good you can ski right back to the front door). The town is a short walk away with good, easily walkable access to bars/restaurants. The chalet is warm and modern with great facilities (lovely decor, comfy beds, great showers and a fully equipped modern kitchen) but it retains a nice traditional feel. Living area is open plan with large, warm kitchen, dining area and sitting area and sleeping facilities are separate and self contained (3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs with a bathroom on each floor and 3 showers) making it ideal for sharing or big families. We loved this place and will be hoping to return next season!

Loved it!
Stayed here with a group of friends on a lads trip. 8 of us comfortably fit in, great access to lifts for the first snow- contamines not the craziest ski town in the world but there is definitely a few places where if you want to let your head down you can do so.. Quality of the skiing/ snowboarding beat expectations too.. Will be back next year

FANTASTIC FAMILY FUN!!
For a hassle free winter holiday with kids I cant recommend this chalet enough.. We have stayed at other chalets in the past and what you gain on one thing you give up on another.. Here however, life is made easy on every front. Great location very close to the lifts (perfect for our young kids), short walk into town but other restaurants nearby and you’re staying in a real home- you can see the owners a) have kids (SKY television and Peppa pig DVD’!!) and b) have spent a lot of time here themselves as everything is set up to maximise enjoyment for young and old.. Loved that the downstairs area has its own privacy – great for our nanny/ older kids having their independence.

Fantastic stay at this gem of a chalet
We had a superb stay at this magnificent chalet and cannot recommend the resort or chalet highly enough. From the booking process to our arrival, stay and departure the whole process was seamless. The location of both the resort and the chalet are fantastic. We flew to Geneva and were at the chalet within an hour and the distance from chalet to ski lift is unbeatable at only about 100 metres allowing you to maximise your time on the slopes.
The chalet is kitted out to a very high standard but at the same time is very comfortable and cosy. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all brand new and well maintained. It is ideal for families and groups alike with plenty space for socialising in the kitchen/living area and adjoining balcony with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. The chalet offers plentiful storage for ski gear and there is ample parking outside. The village is only a ten minute walk away with some great bars, restaurants and nightlife and is an ideal spot for winter or summer sports enthusiasts!
We had an amazing holiday at the chalet and are already planning our return stay! Don't hesitate to book as you will not have any regrets!!

Amazing...A sixth star is needed for this place!
I stayed in this Chalet in Contamines with my fiance over NewYears and we were blown away by everything....Its location is superb, its interior is seriously top class and it offers a beautiful, warm and homely feel, which is so important after a long day on the slopes! The pièce de résistance, were incredible full height glass doors in the kitchen that open to a terrace, where you can look over the incredible view of rolling, snow filled mountains, whilst having your morning coffee and bread...
Contamine is an amazing ski resort and we will most certainly be back...
They need to add a sixth star on the review tab for this chalet.

The Perfect Chalet
We had the most amazing time in Contamine over Christmas and New years - We will definitely be back - it truly is the best place to enjoy time with your friends and family.
This Chalet is extremely well situated; in walking distance of everything, ski lifts; ski renal; local amenities- whether it is to stock up the fridge or enjoy the excellent local cuisine.
This Very spacious Chalet has been newly refurbished, all new modcons, two main entrance’s (both on the first and second floor), complete with a large drying room. not to mention excellent views over 3 floors from all the rooms and amazing balcony- where we watched the fireworks. All rooms are very spacious which is very rare to come by for a ski chalet!!
Super kitchen to cook and enjoy home cooked meals by the fire.
****** We were there for New Years with friends and family and we couldn't have asked for a better place- this area and chalet have everything you need for a perfect ski holiday- highly recommend booking early!!******

Fantastic Chalet
We stayed here with our young family and it was one of the best holidays we have had in the Alps. The chalet is perfectly positioned between the town and the ski lifts and is well kited out with all mod cons and plenty of space for ski gear and accessories and the kids to play around in. Lovely balconies to sit out on in the evening as well. The town of les contamines has a great nightlife with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from and the skiing is just fansatic. I was boarding and my wife was skiing so it suited both of us. Really couldn't recommend this chalet and town more.

The Beautiful Chalet 'Le Bambi'!
Le Bambi's location is perfect as it is only a ten minute walk from the local village, Les Contamines and few minutes away from the ski lifts. The views from the chalet itself are idyllic and even though I stayed there during the summer months, I got a chance to not only enjoy the beautiful weather and laze around by the near-by lake but I also saw some snow on the surrounding mountains. The area has a range of activities to do and everything is within walking distance which makes this chalets location perfect for energetic holiday-makers! From having the option to curl up in front of the television with a blazing stove to enjoying a barbecue on those sunny days, Le Bambi provides a home away from home! I cannot wait to return in the winter to participate in the various winter sports available!
