Chalet near Samoens, Haute Savoie, French Alps, France
Stunning new Ski Chalet with Great Views, Very Comfortable with Plenty of Space
Ski into the Grand Massif, Stay in Lovely New Chalet in Samoens
Sleeps 6/24 (8 Bedrooms)
|
|
Chalets Brio and Terrasse, two chalets under one roof, are newly built for 2008, to a very comfortable standard and can be taken separately or together. Set amongst genuine old Savoyard farmhouses in the small hamlet of L'Etelley we're minutes in one direction from the fast telecabine from Samoens and in the other, the ski lift from Morillon, both take you up into the Grand Massif. With lovely views of the valley from the spacious open plan living and dining area upstairs there's plenty of room to enjoy the fantastic views, warm yourselves in front of the fire or relax on the comfy sofas. Samoens with its bustle on the streets, excellent shops and cafes is always a favourite place to visit. If you want a change from skiing the area has plenty to offer, from snow shoe and cross county trails to botanical gardens and cultural attractions. This is a lovely area for families and small and large groups are very welcome.

Notes on accommodation
We are ideal for large family groups or friends, but we are just as happy to welcome people for shorter stays out of the peak holiday periods, and for people to book a room rather than the whole chalet. For those who prefer a mix of catered and self catered we offer flexi catered, three evening meals, six breakfasts and midweek cleaning, see our website for more info.

Accessibility
The chalet accommodation in Brio is over three floors and is not suitable for guests who find it difficult to use the stairs but La Terrasse is on the ground floor and with extra wide doorways is suitable for wheelchair access to the living, bedroom and bathroom areas.
Outside
The large gardens extend all around the chalet and up the hillside with lovely views in all four directions. In summer you can find a shady spot under the trees or enjoy the sun by the pool. Each bedroom has a small patio area, and there is plenty of space for games, barbecues and relaxation. La Terrasse has its own south facing private garden with a shaded terrace and eating area. Outdoor furniture is provided. The large heated swimming pool is for the use in sumer of all guests in the chalet, and we might occasionally join you.
Golf
There are several golf courses to choose from, competition standard at Evian, about an hour away and alpine courses at Les Gets (20 mins) and Flaine (30 mins).
Skiing
Within an hours drive from Geneva, Samoens and Morillon are both part of the Grand Massif ski area which links with Les Carroz, Flaine and smaller Sixt Fer-a-Cheval. The skiing and boarding extend over 265km of varied pistes with something for all abilities. There is a choice of excellent ski schools at either Samoens or Morillon, and a full range of creche and child care facilities. Those who like to ski back at the end of the day can do so, conditions permitting, down to Morillon or Vercland, a mile away. Ski equipment can be hired and then left at the top of the lifts, saving you from carrying it back. If you take a six day pass this also entitles you to ski for one day in nearby Morzine or Les Gets. For non skiers snow shoe and cross country trails extend through the valley and up to the mountain summits, guiding is available for both. In Samoens itself there also is a 600sq m ice rink.
Travel
Travel options include driving via Rheims and Dijon and the journey from the French ports takes 8 -10 hours depending on speed and stops. Or many people prefer to fly into Geneva and pick up a hire car for the easy journey to the resort which should take between 1 to 1.5 hours. Having a car is recommended as it gives you greater flexibility, but the chalet is on the ski bus route.
Distances
The hamlet of L'Etelley is approx 2 km from Samoens town centre and even closer to the main telecabine which is on the outskirts of the resort. It takes just a couple of minutes to drive and there is plenty of parking. Morillon is even closer in the other direction. The resorts of Les Gets and Morzine are about 20-25 km away.
Further details
Both Samoens and Morillon have a good range of shops, bars and restaurants although Samoens has the greater choice. Banks and cash machines are available in both. The historic town of Annecy is well worth a visit and is about an hour away, as is Chamonix.
There are lovely walks along the river banks, through the small hamlets along the valley and up the hillsides. Or enjoy a cake and hot chocolate in one of the best patisseries in the area and watch the world go by.

Guest comments
The first guests at the chalet last winter really enjoyed themselves, in fact two families liked it so much they immediately booked both chalets again for this year.
