Overview

Ski Chalet Modern Wellness Self-Catered Ideal for Kids Walk to Village Garage

Nestled in the heart of the iconic Chamonix, Chalet Astre is a charming cocoon, a welcoming retreat spanning 300 square metres across three meticulously designed levels, offering an enchanting haven for eight adults and two children.

As you step into the ground floor, the chalet unveils practical yet luxurious spaces, including a garage to safely house your vehicles and a well-equipped laundry room to cater to your practical needs. A dedicated ski room ensures that your winter gear is organised and easily accessible, while keeping your living spaces dry and uncluttered. 

The true gems of this level lie in the relaxation and leisure area, where a rejuvenating sauna beckons, inviting guests to unwind after a day on the slopes. The adjacent gym provides an opportunity for invigorating workouts, ensuring both mental and physical rejuvenation. The chalet also features a cosy TV room, complete with a sleeping area with two bunk beds, perfect for a quiet retreat or for the younger members of your group to find solace.

Ascending to the first level, the focus shifts to comfort and intimacy with three double bedrooms, each boasting terrace access- beautiful spots for enjoying a morning cuppa or evening aperitif while taking in the mountain air. Every room is adorned with a thoughtfully designed shower room and toilet, ensuring a seamless blend of convenience and luxury.

The crowning glory of the Chalet Astre lies on the top level, where a splendidly equipped kitchen takes centre stage. This culinary haven seamlessly flows into a dining area, creating a space for convivial moments with the whole family. The warm living room, adorned with a fireplace, beckons you to sink into its embrace. At the same time, a large bay window bathes the room in natural light and leads to a terrace adorned with garden furniture, offering a panoramic view of the majestic Mont-Blanc. Completing this level is a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, providing a private sanctuary amidst the breathtaking surroundings.

In the heart of Chamonix, where winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, and summer invites exploration of lofty peaks, Chalet Astre stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of luxury and alpine charm, a haven for those seeking respite in the embrace of the high mountains.

Located between the majestic Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve and the iconic Mont-Blanc, the Chamonix valley stands at the crossroads of Switzerland and Italy, a captivating destination that transcends borders. Home to 14,000 residents off-season and a staggering 80,000 tourist beds, the valley is a testament to the allure of its breathtaking surroundings. In 1921, the town of Chamonix earned the prestigious right to bear the name Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, a title befitting its panoramic backdrop dominated by the towering Mont-Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, rightfully earning its moniker as the "roof of Europe."

Encompassing 16 villages, including Servoz, Les Houches, Chamonix, and Vallorcine, the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley is a community of communes that has evolved into the global capital of mountaineering and skiing since the historic ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786. With 6,000 primary residences and twice as many secondary residences, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc has transformed into a year-round haven. In winter, novices find solace on dedicated slopes like Les Planards and Le Savoy in Chamonix, while the adventurous explore the Aiguille du Midi cable car, ascending to 3,842 metres for the renowned off-piste descent of the Vallée Blanche.

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc's historical roots as a summer vacation spot persist, offering an array of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, mountaineering, paragliding, canyoning, rafting, golf, horse riding, paintball, and refreshing swims in pools or lakes. Guided tours unveil the wonders of the Aiguilles Rouges reserve, and the Itinerio application, available for rent, guides visitors through seven geo-guided routes and 110 points of interest. The Montenvers cogwheel train reveals the breathtaking panorama of the Mer de Glace.

In winter, the valley transforms into a skier's paradise, offering alpine skiing, ski touring, cross-country skiing, dog sledging, snowshoeing, speed riding, skating, and sledging. Regardless of the season, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc caters to visitors' well-being with spas, shops, bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, ensuring an all-encompassing and unforgettable experience in this alpine gem.

The Resort

Chamonix is often preceded by its own reputation. As one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, it has visitors travelling from all corners of the world to experience the epic runs year after year. The Chamonix town centre, also known as Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, is an endlessly inviting little city with enough going on to entertain skiers and non-skiers alike for weeks on end. For those travelling from the UK, it is fabulously easy to reach. You can drive straight from Calais by motorway and be set up in a gorgeous chalet in less than half a day.

The Chamonix Valley encompasses five main ski areas on four different mountains (with easy transfers in between). You can get yourself a single-resort lift pass or one that encompasses the whole valley. If you go with the latter option you’ll even have access to the Italian side of the valley in Courmayeur. The wider area encompasses 106 pistes at up to 3842m altitude and unparalleled off-piste runs. 

Most of Chamonix’s ski areas are best suited to those who already feel at home on a pair of skis. Beginners definitely won’t get as much out of this valley as those who are comfortable tackling a black run. But that’s not saying Chamonix is unromantic by any means. There is incredible scenery for everyone to enjoy, from non-skiers to experts, and nature lovers will fall in love with the Chamonix in summer too. Ski season, however, often lasts until mid-March.

Once the skiing is over at the end of the day you’ll still find plenty to keep you occupied in town. There is an excellent selection of restaurants to choose from, ranging from Michelin starred fine dining to street food that will line your stomach for the après-ski (and rest assured there are dozens of great bars and clubs to choose from!)

Moreover, the chalet's accommodation on the first level adds an extra layer of family-friendly appeal. Three double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite facilities, ensure privacy for the adults and provide direct access to inviting terraces. This feature allows the family to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding mountains together, creating shared moments of joy and bonding.

The allure of Chalet Astre extends beyond its confines to the enchanting Chamonix Valley, a destination that seamlessly blends family-friendly attractions with the breathtaking beauty of the Alps. In winter, beginner skiers, including the little ones, find welcoming slopes specially dedicated to them at Les Planards and Le Savoy in Chamonix, La Vormaine in Le Tour, and Les Chosalets in Argentière. The family can embark on memorable adventures, exploring the winter wonderland through activities like dog sledging, snowshoeing, and even experiencing the thrill of speed riding.

Come summer, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc transforms into a playground for families, offering various outdoor activities. From leisurely hikes amidst the Aiguilles Rouges reserve to exhilarating mountain biking adventures, the valley caters to varying levels of outdoor enthusiasm. The Montenvers cogwheel train beckons with a family-friendly journey to behold the panoramic spectacle of the Mer de Glace, while guided tours unveil the wonders of the surrounding fauna and flora.

Beyond the adventures, the town of Chamonix itself is replete with family-oriented amenities, from charming shops to welcoming restaurants. With its blend of cosy comfort and proximity to family-friendly attractions, the Chalet Astre ensures that every member, young and old, experiences the magic of Chamonix in a way that resonates with the essence of family togetherness.
