Relaxing
When you first enter this chalet it is hard not to feel uplifted by the bright and peaceful interior. Preparing a traditional meal together in the open kitchen or relaxing with a glass of local wine on the sofas can be excellent ways to escape from the daily realities of life back at home. If you are not sufficiently distracted by the incredible views of the Mont Blanc range, you could go up to the separate relaxing area upstairs with its sofas, books, and television with French channels.

Cancellation policy
We recognise the difficulties and uncertainties that many of our travellers are facing due to the global COVID 19 crisis. At the same time, we have to balance the needs of our travellers with the needs of our chalet owners, so we have updated our cancellation policy as follows:

1. Free cancellation in advance
- For all arrival dates until end of November 2023 we are offering free cancellation* for any reason up to ninety days before travel.

2. Free cancellation in the event of new government rules
After expiration of the free cancellation period, in case new government rules occur which block the vacation, for example a requirement to quarantine either during the vacation or on return home, or a restriction in the number of people who can meet together, or a forced closure of the whole ski area related to COVID-19, then we would offer a full refund* providing that the vacation is cancelled within 14 days of the new rules being announced.

In case the clients wish to maintain the reservation even when new or existing rules would block the reservation from happening, then a cancellation fee of 50%* will apply if these reservations are subsequently cancelled.

3. Balance transfer in case of infection or contact
If the party is not able to travel due to individual quarantine (based on infection or case of contact) we will transfer the full amount of your booking to an alternative date of your choice.
