Chalet la Fontaine
The chalet is conveniently located opposite the bus stop. This means you can access the Gabelou and Portes du Soleil ski lifts quickly, with minimum fuss.
Luxury Chalet
In 2020 a complete renovation took place. Traditional ‘vieux bois’ (old wood) has been used throughout to give the property a luxurious, high-end finish.
It comprises four double bedrooms with space for 8-10 guests and the ground floor offers a brand new heated boot room. On the middle floor, the large open plan living room is the perfect space to socialize. The generous dining table is the ideal setting for a hearty breakfast or your evening meal. The large windows and balcony doors create a lovely, light space where you can admire the spectacular mountain views. After the sun sets, the fireplace transforms the area into a cosy space, perfect for relaxing on the sofa.
There’s a fully-equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a bar area for an aperitif before dinner. The lounge is equipped with a smart TV / DVD player and free Wi-Fi is available throughout along with USB charging points.
