A lovely chalet in the centre of Chamonix
Esme was incredibly helpful as a host and made the organisation of the trip very easy for us. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this chalet to anyone coming to Chamonix.
About the Owner
About Es
We love the area and all it has to offer. Initially we were attracted by the skiing - both the diversity of the different ski areas but also the amazing off piste terrain.
In addition to the skiing you can go hiking, biking, climbing, canyoning, paragliding - the list of activities is almost endless.
Chamonix town has a charm, all the facilities you could want all year round, and the people are friendly - sharing a common love of the outdoors.
The scenery is breathtaking - being home to Europe's highest mountain, Mont Blanc and over 40 glaciers, and all of this is a short 90 min drive from Geneva airport.
Why Es chose Haute-Savoie
Great location in a desirable area of Chamonix, a short walk to all facilities. South facing (sunny), with uninterrupted mountain views. Large and comfortable modern chalet with many facilities.
What makes this chalet unique
Exceptional value. Uninterrupted views of Mont Blanc. Large comfortable chalet with modern furnishings and high quality furniture and bedding. Short, flat walk to the town centre.

A lovely chalet in the centre of Chamonix
We booked this chalet as a group of 10 friends, looking for a half term ski holiday in Chamonix. The chalet was great, with beautiful views of Mont Blanc and located very close to the centre of town. It was equipped with everything we could have asked for and we had a fantastic holiday.
Esme was incredibly helpful as a host and made the organisation of the trip very easy for us. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this chalet to anyone coming to Chamonix.
Chalet Croix des Pecles
The chalet is brilliantly situated just up the road from the ski hire shop and within easy walking distance to the town, shops and restaurants. The chalet is warm and well equipped. The down-side for us as a family was that we don't think the web page described clearly the layout of the accommodation. It wasn't clear to us that we had to go outside and walk along the patio to access the fifth bedroom and third bathroom. This studio was in fact completely separate to the main house, which may suit some, but not us - it wasn't conducive for our family holiday. We liked the idea of an open fire but in the event it was unusable as some of the smoke came into the room and made it unpleasant and possibly dangerous. Chamonix itself was a perfect base to enjoy the whole area.
Good Chamonix Chalet
Loved this Chalet ,good for large groups, well furnished and good views of Mont Blanc
It's a short walk into town and main bus stop which connects you to all areas ,also found a Ski Loc shop that will store your skis for 5e a day it saves lugging them there and back everyday . I would book this Chalet again if visiting Chamonix
excellent
excellent location, excellent facilities, excellent view.
Would definitely book again.
Perfect views of Mont Blanc
We have stayed in Chamonix 6 times, and the accommodation has always been very good, this chalet was no different. Really nice living space and all the facilities you could want. The price is extremely reasonable for such a lovely place and it sits in the perfect position for the high street and for the amazing views of Mont Blanc.
Brilliant Chalet in exc location with exc views!
Great chalet for two families with kids for a fortnight. Superb views - enjoyed many evenings watching sun set on Mont Blanc after full days out in the mountains, luge, swimming at Passy etc. Owner v helpful and reliable. Fully recommend. You couldn't get a better central but quiet location in Cham.
