Description
Over the years we have stayed in many chalets, all of which had various failings. In building and furnishing our own chalet, we have tried to provide accommodation to meet our own standards. There is enough comfy seating for everyone, each bedroom has a full length mirror, plenty of storage space and extra pegs for ski kit. All rooms are of course ensuite. Bedroom furniture is in solid pine - comfortable beds!. We have kept the chalet light and airy with exposed timber columns and floor beams. The bathrooms have vanity units with large mirrors, power sockets and lights, heated towel rails and lots of hot water.
In the garden in summer, our heated plunge pool ensures that kids (of all ages) can have fun whatever the weather!
We have free wifi broadband internet access in the chalet should you need to be in touch with the world! We will advise you of the security code needed - you need a laptop with 802.11g/b wifi capability. You must have your own anti virus protection!
The chalet is constructed in traditional style, entirely in timber for the upper two floors. The first floor is tiled throughout and the second floor is pine boarded.
The chalet has a hard wired smoke detector and fire alarm system as legally required for all similar establishments.
If you are seeking a comfortable, civilised and calm holiday, then we have much to offer you. If however you are looking for somewhere for a stag/hen party type holiday, then this is not the place for you!
As is normal in a catered chalet run as a "chambres table d'hote" you will be eating with us at our dining table and may also be sharing the dining table and lounge area with other guests (unless you book the whole chalet). Part of the fun of this type of accommodation is the opportunity to meet new people in civilised homely surroundings. As your hosts we will of course be able to help you to arrange activities locally and impart our local knowledge of the area.

Location
In winter Les Gets is a traditional ski resort with excellent local skiing, yet unspoilt by large scale developments. Its geographical position at 1172m in the mountain pass gives it a snow record which compares favourably with higher ski resorts. The village lies between the two mountains of Mont Chery and Les Chavannes, and it is possible to ski down to the village on both sides of the valley throughout most of the winter season.
The resort is known to stay open when many are closed due to a huge investment in a system of snow cannons and of course the hard work of Les Gets's piste maintenance team. Les Gets is part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest linked ski systems with 14 resorts and over 600km of piste.
Notes
No smoking, no pets, no outdoor shoes inside.
We have a fenced garden for snowmen!
