About this property

Superb Le Buet Chalet, nr skiing, Chamonix, Argentiere, Les Houches, Vallorcine

Enjoy lazy mornings in pure white Egyptian cotton sheets; wrap yourself in furry blankets by the glass fronted wood-burning stove and prepare romantic dinners by candlelight, following a long day on the slopes.

Chalet Lampisterie is a beautiful converted, former railway building, where the chugging trains oil lamps were prepared during the golden age of steam. The ‘shed’ has since been extended and renovated to a high modern standard. It is situated in the beautiful rural village of Le Buet and modern electric trains have now replaced the old steam ones, easily linking guests to all the main ski areas of the valley: Chamonix, Argentiere,Le Tour, Le Buet and Vallorcine.

This charming and cosy family home renovation provides accommodation for up to 6 guests (4 adults maximum). Chalet Lampisterie is perfect for a small group of friends, 2 couples or small families with up to 4 children.

Pets: We can only accept 1 small, well-behaved house trained dog. Dogs should be kept off furniture and prevented from entering bedrooms. All dog litter must be picked up from garden and areas surrounding the chalet.

There are 2 bedrooms, including a romantic master bedroom with high ceilings. A beautifully designed bathroom provides opportunity for relaxing dips in a large roll-top bath with a full supply of toiletries. A further bedroom contains 4 single beds (2 principal beds, and a further 2 tucked under the sloping wooden roof beams).

Cosy, cute and quiet
It's a cosy chalet for a very nice holiday. The guys from mountain people were very helpful and ready to help us with everything... from extra firewood to extend our stay. Everything went smooth. The apartment fulfilled our needs. It's next to the tracks, but because the train being electrical you don't really hear it. It's above all convenient to have it nearby. We will probably come back!

Lovely
Sebastian ensured that all the booking and pre visit arrangements were very straightforward, clear and professional. The chalet was, as we were expecting (the pictures of it are representative of what to expect), it was beautifully furnished and all that you may need has been provided. Having said how nice the chalet was the aspect we loved the most was it's location which is magical.

Great week in the Alps
Highly recommend this fantastic chalet which has been recently re-designed to a high standard. Coming from Geneva airport, it’s an easy 1.5 hour drive, mostly on the motorway then around 30 mins on beautiful mountain roads until you reach Le Buet. The house is super cosy and modern at the same time. The kitchen is well equipped and the open plan living space is great for enjoying dinner, games and cosying by the fire. Access to Argentiere and Chamonix was really easy by car and train. There was a really handy beginner area nearby for beginners. It was great to come back here every day after skiing - so much so that the kids didn’t want to go anywhere!

décevant au regard de l'annonce
1. fréquence du train que vous annoncez toutes les heures en réalité toutes les demi-heure dans une direction donc tous les quarts d’heure dans les 2 sens, de plus il est 3 m de la chambre, impossible de ne pas l’entendre même avec des bouchons d’oreille 2. le chalet est à côté d’un parking ou des camping-cars stationnent et font du bruit 3. la route de Vallorcine qui mène en Suisse est très fréquentée située à 50 m : bruit permanent 4. le chalet donne sur un chemin de randonnée qui mène au col des pontet, il est exposé sur la terrasse pour le peu ou nous avons pu manger dehors, ce fut sans intimité 5. la chambre du haut ne fait que 1,7 m max au plus point : non habitable selon moi 6. vaisselle chiche : manque assiettes et poêles

Why they chose this property

Chalet Lampisterie is a cosy family home. Once a Railway Shed for steam trains that used to frequent the Chamonix line. The chalet's fantastic location gives you access to the entire Chamonix Valley, including prime skiing spots such as Argentiere, Les Houches, Le Tour & Vallorcine. The chalet is in a calm spot and has recently been renovated to a high standard, providing both a functional and comfortable house, with a warm and cosy, designed interior.
