Chalet Whymper: one bedroom apartment in Les Houches

Lovely well equipped apartment with underground garage space , ski locker and bbc tv via Freesat. Close to base of Bellevue gondola, bars, restaurant, shops and ski hire rentals. The main living/kitchen/dining room glass doors overlooking the slopes is sited directly opposite an adjacent chalet so privacy is somewhat compromised. The local supermarket is excellent but a little too far to walk if doing a big shop and having a rental car really helped us.

One of the best properties we've stayed in

The whole experience of this property was exceptional. We've stayed in a number of properties over the last decade and we rarely bother to review because, while generally the standard is high, they're all very similar. From the beginning Janet's communication was superb, before booking our questions were answered quickly and clearly, after booking Janet was very proactive at providing all the information we needed and our arrival went very smoothly precisely because of the clear instructions and information. Upon arrival the apartment was in excellent condition, it was clean and well equipped and we were particularly impressed by the homely feel. There are a number of folders in the apartment with local information, very thoughtfully separated into English and French language, and similarly the TV was equipped with both English and French speaking channels, an unusually nice thought. All facilities were superb, the shower was exceptional, the washing machine was huge, the basic consumables were well provided and the WiFi even worked (unusual in our experience!) There is covered parking with the apartment which we found extremely useful and both the external and internal garage door were tall enough for a normal estate car with a roof box. I do not think a large vehicle (e.g. large 4x4) would fit with a roof box fitted but should be fine without a roof box. The walk to the Bellevue lift is short (maybe 300m easy walk?) and around the same area are the usual French village shops (boulangerie, pattiserie, etc). There are a fair choice of ski shops around the Bellevue lift but our recommendation would be to walk up the hill a little (away from the lift) to Skimium, which is cheaper, better equipped and covers more sports (e.g. snowboard and snowscoot) than the mainstream hire shops. Thank you Janet for the excellent accommodation, we hope to be back in the coming years.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Saville

Hi, my name is Janet, husband JP, then the children: Hannah, Brittany and Oliver (who are twins). We live in a seaside town on the south coast of England enjoying all the activities the South Downs have to offer. However, whenever we can we like to swap the rolling Sussex hills for the spectacular mountains of Chamonix. All the family love hiking and skiing (although Britt is a snowboarder) and the twins are keen climbers. For us Chamonix is the perfect year round destination and still, after almost 15 years of holidays there are still new hikes for us to discover and enjoy, not to mention ski resorts in neighbouring valleys.

Why they chose this property

What we love about this property is how close it is to all the amenities; ski lifts, restaurants, bars, supermarket, and of course the fabulous bread shop. I love the views – sitting with a cup of tea at the end of the day looking out over the ski runs and down the valley to the Fiz mountain range. Or, on the bedroom balcony catching a sunset over the Aiguille du Midi.
It’s also just a short bus, train or car ride into Chamonix where you can enjoy the hustle bustle, myriad of shops, restaurants, casino, bowling alley, night clubs, and bars (many with live music). This year we enjoyed listening to a Columbian Salsa band at the Club des Artistes, and saw the local ice hockey team “Les Chamois” win an eventful match against Brest.

What makes this property unique

A home from home with all the cooking equipment you could possible need. It’s furnished with comfort in mind including French & UK (FreeSat) TV channels.
