Les Chalets d'Alpage is a small cluster of MGM-built chalets nestled in the
mountainside in a quiet corner of Les Houches up a hill from the village centre
on a private driveway road with well-kept gardens. The apartment is in a
traditional Savoyard style chalet right next to the local ski jump. It is is
situated on the first (and top) floor, accessed by its own front door and
entrance balcony which overlooks the village ski jump. Inside, this charming
apartment, has sloping roofs throughout. There is a small double bedroom
overlooking the pistes of Les Houches and down the valley, with a queen size
double bed and built-in wardrobes. There is a second cabine style bedroom with a
set of bunk beds and a Velux window looking towards Coupeau and Parc Merlet on
the Brevent side of the mountain. In the corridor there is a floor-to-ceiling
cupboard for storage. There is a separate toilet as well as a fully tiled
bathroom with good size bath and overhead power-shower, wash basin with
good-sized under storage cupboard underneath, wall-mounted mirror and cupboard.
The kitchen area has a wall-mounted oven and grill, four-ring ceramic hob,
fridge (with small freezer compartment) and dishwasher. The living area has a
modern large comfortable sofa, a pine dining table and four chairs. There is
also a small flat screen television and DVD player, with French digital
terrestrial channels, with some programmes in English. There is also high speed
internet access int he apartment, accessed with an ethernet cable. French doors
lead to a large balcony, protected by the sloping wooden roof under the roof
eaves, with views towards the Aiguille du Midi and Glacier Rond. There are no
other chalets directly in front or behind our chalet, just tranquil Alpages, or
grazing lands, on which cows happily munch away on the grass in the summer.
Behind the chalet is the village all weather ski jump and the slopes are
excellent for sledging from right outside the front door! Outside the apartment
there is ample free parking. Directly underneath the chalet there is a good size
cave for bike/ luggage storing etc as well as a ski locker. There is also an
underground parking space for one car (under 2m high). A five minute walk down
the hill brings you to the centre of Les Houches with a supermarket, the tourist
office, a bank, post office, newsagents with English newspapers, the town hall,
a bakers/patisserie and hairdressers. There’s a traditional French hotel bar as
well as a stylish English-speaking bistro bar/ restaurant that opens for lunch,
dinner and apres-ski. Next to the town hall is the ski bus stop that will take
you directly to the base of the lifts at Bellevue and Prarion up-lifts in Les
Houches or into Chamonix town centre. All in all, this apartment is a small, but
perfectly formed apartment that offers a peaceful place to stay for your
Chamonix valley ski holiday with easy access to the ski areas of Les Houches and
Chamonix town centre just a 8 minute car ride away. Other ski areas such as Les
Contamines, St Gervais and even Courmayeur in Italy are just 30 minutes away by
car. HouchesA is a perfect getaway for a family or group of friends wanting to
enjoy a mountain holiday in the spectacular Chamonix valley.
