Overview: chalet description: Chalet Whymper description

The brilliant Chalet Whymper is without doubt the BEST located chalet in Chamonix town centre! A little old-fashioned, but full of character, Chalet Whymper is situated on a quiet side street just a few minutes’ walk from lively après ski bars, cafes, clubs and shops.

There are 10 en-suite twin / double bedrooms, a very social open plan lounge and dining area with log fire, XBOX 360 Kinect & free Wi-Fi plus a sunny balcony which enjoys stunning views of the Mont Blanc Massif.

It’s really easy to access Chamonix’s main ski areas from the chalet. The Brévent ski slopes are closest – either a 10 minute walk or you can walk 3 minutes to the Savoy nursery slope and take a drag lift which connects with the Brévent Gondola – much better than carrying ski’s. The free ski bus stop which connects to all ski areas in the Chamonix valley is just a 3 minute walk away.
