The hospitality at Chalet Saphir is second to none – imagine returning to your chalet for warm drinks and afternoon cakes by the open fire, then being served a high quality three-course evening meal with fine wines on the long dining table. A delicious breakfast is also prepared each morning and bathrooms are cleaned four days a week, allowing you to sit back and relax during your time in this stylish abode.
A fantastic chalet for families or friends, there are flexible sleeping options across the ground and upper floors ranging from a spacious family room with 4 single beds (that can be arranged in other formats) to six welcoming double or twin bedrooms, most with en suite bath or shower rooms.
Other ultramodern features include two contemporary kitchens (one with incredible views), underfloor heating, a Sonos music system and of course Wi-Fi throughout. The beautifully designed sauna is yet another treat or experience more alpine luxury in the outdoor hot tub on the lower decked terrace.
Set in Les Houches, a popular skiing area around 8km from Chamonix, you are within walking distance to shops and restaurants whilst even closer is a ski-lift and cable car, making this a perfect location in so many ways. Les Houches offers a variety of runs, including the renowned Kandahar piste as well as more leisurely slopes through charming woodland, always surrounded by spectacular scenery. There are also some great options for families with an enchanting snow park and sledging.
Shuttles buses will whisk you towards other skiing spots close to Chamonix and beyond, even across the Italian border to Courmayeur, just 25km away. Wherever you decide to go, the chalet’s staff can help arrange equipment hire, ski passes and lessons for you to make the most of your time in this glorious valley.
