General Overview
Well maintained chalet, beautiful terrace, not overlooked, garden, in a very accessible mountain village (10 minutes from the A40). 5 minutes by car from the ski resort of Les Carroz (open until 12/04/25), shuttle possible 200 m from the chalet to the chairlift of Les Carroz.... and 30 minutes by car from the one in Flaine (open until 19/04, cold hole, always snow even in spring, interconnection with the resort of Les Carroz, organized transport from Les Carroz to Flaine, same massif but you have to climb higher up the mountain). Open to vehicle exchange too. Here you need snow tires. As we are not there for a part of April 2026, we are looking to land in Corsica or equivalent in August 2026, in a staggered exchange, but with the same people as those coming to us.
The Space
*On level 1 there is 1 entrance, 2 double bedrooms in 160, 1 toilet and 1 bathroom and 1 laundry room. *On level 2 there is living room + dining room + kitchen in the same open space + 1 bathroom + 1 toilet + 1 condemned room (small office full of mess)
*On level 3 there is 1 double bedroom in 140 and the mezzanine with 1 bed in 90 and 1 bed in 140. You can also add a mattress to a person's floor.
Guest Access
*small spiral staircase between the levels (chalet on 3 levels), not recommended for children under 3 years old;
*external staircase more convenient to reach the terrace on level 2, but more in summer than in the middle of winter. In April there should be no more snow in the garden.
Notes
*We love hiking and we will guide you to various proposals according to your desires and levels, if you wish, with maps and topos (in summer). The lake photographed is that of Pormenaz, opposite the Fiz, from Servoz (06/2023)
*We also like spas and good restaurants, and we have a few addresses. The spas in Les Carroz is one of the cheapest in the valley (around 20-25 euros) and is very nice to relax after skiing.
