Chalet La Charme ****
This fabulous custom built chalet nestles into the peaceful, woodland slopes at the very foot of the Mont Blanc, where wild deer can be seen roaming freely in the garden. Only a short walk from the village centre, the chalet has uninterrupted views across Val Montjoie and towards the Aravis mountain range. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind after a hard day's climbing or skiing. The chalet is run by an English guy Chris, a keen climber, mountaineer and skier, who is also an excellent Chef.
We will be basing our skiing and climbing courses from here.
