Chalet Flaine, Flaine, France

Meal Basis: Chalet Board

Sleeps: 10

Located at 1800m, Just 1hr15m transfer from Geneva and nestled in the Hameau de Flaine, high above the resort centre and offering superb views to the Grand Massif mountain range, Chalet Flaine is a comfortably furnished and homely property offering exceptional value for money and perfect for a short ski break with a wonderful snow sure ski area of over 250km at your disposal.

This spacious and welcoming chalet is in a hamlet of similarly-styled properties which wouldn't look out of place in New England or Scandinavia, with its white wooden-clad exterior and spacious decked balcony. There's a lovely open-plan living and dining area on the first floor with pine clad walls, tiled floors with rugs and exposed beams. There are two dining tables, one seating 8 and the other 4. Relax on the comfy sofas and cushions while the wood burner roars, while there's a television with DVD player for evening entertainment. This room opens to a balcony with table and chairs, often bathed in the morning sun (and snow!). Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the chalet and there's a separate WC on the ground floor.

Sleeping 10 adults, there are five bedrooms; two are found on the second floor beneath sloping eaves while the three remaining are situated on the ground floor.

Your chalet host will be on hand throughout your stay, preparing a daily breakfast (continental plus hot option), afternoon snack and cake with tea and coffee, plus a hearty home-made 3-course evening meal. Red and white wine is served throughout your meal. The chalet host has a day off on Wednesday, so a continental breakfast will be left out but no afternoon cake or dinner is provided.

In the Hameau de Flaine itself, there's a ski hire shop, small supermarket plus a bar and restaurant. The resort of Flaine is approximately 2km away and can be reached by ski bus in 5-10 minutes or intermediate skiers can take a ski track down through the trees, snow permitting. Ski lockers are available at the bus stop. In the evenings and running until 11:30pm, a free English-speaking taxi service operates (pre-booking required), so you can get to and from the centre easily.
