Chalet Courterre - Jacuzzi, Mont Blanc Views

Highlights
A stunning luxury chalet in Chamonix with incredible uninterrupted views of the Mont Blanc range and outdoor hot-tub jacuzzi. Nestled in the highly sought-after location of Les Praz in Chamonix Chalet Courterre is right next to the golf course and is situated an easy 100m walk from the local bus stop. The chalet sleeps 8 adults (plus up to 4 extra children) in four en-suite bedrooms, and has been fitted and decorated to a high standard with a delightful wood and stone-clad interior and thought-provoking mountain artwork. Here you can truly escape into the mountain atmosphere and enjoy traditional evenings with family and friends in the spacious open living room, whilst the children make their own fun in the separate TV room. The outdoor jacuzzi is a delight in snowy winter weather, and perfect for relaxation at any time.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
This large chalet has 4 en-suite double bedrooms, all of which are upstairs and open to the exposed roof beams, and two of which have ingenious solutions to sleep up to 4 further children. Whatever the composition of your family or group of friends, you are bound to find an ideal room set-up to suit you. 

Chamonix Chalet Courterre is equipped with a high chair and a folding travel cot (bedding not provided) suitable for children under 2 years old, and a second is available on demand on arrival.  Please note that in accordance with the manufacturer's safety instructions, additional mattresses are not provided with the cots.

Bedroom 1
From the double bed in this room you can see the stunning snow-capped summit of the Mont Blanc and the iconic Gouter ridge that leads to it. Through the full-height sliding patio doors you can access the balcony (which is shared with Bedroom 2), from where you can study the broader view that sweeps across the Mont Blanc massif to the mighty Drus and beyond. There is a flat-screen, wall-mounted TV and also a full-height dressing room under the eaves. The large en-suite master bathroom has a large walk-in shower and also a full-sized bath, double sink with heated mirror, and a heated towel rail.

Bedroom 2
Through the full-height sliding patio doors you can access the balcony (shared with Bedroom 1) and its absolutely breathtaking views of the entire Mont Blanc chain including the mythical Drus and the famous summit of the Aiguille Verte. As well as a comfortable double bed, there is a flat-screen, wall-mounted TV and ample mirrored wardrobes. The large en-suite bathroom has a full-sized bath, separate rain shower, sink, WC, and a heated towel rail.

Bedroom 3
The third bedroom is designed as a family room for up to 4 people. It has a comfortable double bed, plus twin beds that could also be made into a double bed.

This delightful room is open to the wooden rafters and roof-beams and so the view from this bedroom is through a large velux-type window in the roof, unless of course there are fresh snowflakes sitting on the window, temporarily blocking the view until the sun comes out again to melt them.

In the room there are ample mirrored wardrobes, a flat-screen, wall-mounted TV and access to the large en-suite bathroom which has a shower, sink and WC.

Bedroom 4
The fourth bedroom is designed as a family room for up to 4 people. It has a comfortable double bed (160cm), plus a twin overhead "coin montagne" where two further simple beds are accessed by a wooden ladder. Please note that due to the ladder access the "coin montagne" is not suitable for younger children.

Equipment
The main floor of this luxurious chalet is an open kitchen/living/dining area with high ceilings, modern kitchen, comfortable sofa space and a dining area. The spacious kitchen has a breakfast bar and is fully equipped with everything you might need for holiday catering, including a dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster, oven, hob, deep fryer, fridge-freezer and wine fridge. A separate 4-drawer freezer is available for you to use, along with fondue and raclette sets for a traditional Alpine evening amongst friends and family. A hairdryer, iron and portable outdoor barbecue are all available for you to use. There is a well-designed kit area to store all of your mountain equipment, and electric boot dryers for 10 pairs of boots. There is a separate laundry area with washing machine and dryer.

Relaxing
The chalet has a fabulous position in the prestigious Chamonix suburb of Les Praz, right next to the Chamonix Golf Course and with enviable uninterrupted views of the Mont Blanc range. To totally submerge yourself in the mountain atmosphere, wrap yourself in one of the soft white bathrobes provided and wander out into the private garden onto the large decked area to wade into the outdoor, sunken jacuzzi (3m x 2.5m), and let the jets and bubbles soak away the efforts of another yet fabulous day on the mountain or the golf course.

The sofas in the living room are a comfortable place from which to admire the views, or you can retreat into the separate TV lounge to indulge in the choice of international channels and the range of BluRay DVDs offered on the flat-screen TV.

Plug into the living room Sonos system to fill the air with inspirational music whilst you impress the others with your mountain cooking skills in the well-equipped kitchen.

In summer, the un-overlooked garden is a pleasure with its large, flat lawn area and small rockery, and you can be safely secluded behind the surrounding hedges. Deckchairs and a BBQ with outdoor table set provide you with the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of this calm location and listen to the birdsong coming from the nearby trees.
