Chalet Savoy

About

A charming traditional Savoy style chalet in the mountain resort of Les Houches in the Chamonix Valley and at the foot of Mont Blanc. The chalet is owned and run by Oliver Ensor, an "International Mountain Leader" and his wife Elaine whose "table d'hote' dinners and home made cakes are a legend. The Chalet has a total of 7 rooms all with small private bathrooms. You will love the spectacular mountain views from the chalet. There is fantastic hiking and snowshoeing right on the doorstep. The chalet is just 8 minutes walk from the Chamonix - Les Houches ski slopes, the bus stop and the Les Houches main street. In winter you'll have free use of the Les Houches skating rink. All year round you'll have free use of the busses and trains throughout the Chamonix Valley. The Tour du Mont Blanc and GR5 trails are just a few minutes walk from the chalet. PLEASE NOTE: This is a mountain chalet and not a hotel. Please do not expect hotel style facilities. There are 7 tastefully decorated bedrooms all with private facilities which can be used as double, twin or single. But the bathrooms are mostly small and the bedrooms won't always be as big as some hotel rooms. There is also a one bedroom apartment adjacent to the chalet. But you'll soon understand why a Daily Mirror journalist reviewed the chalet as "our favourite stay" and why 80% of our guests are repeats. You'll love the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Facilities include hot tub - wifi - computer for guest use, visiting physio can be arranged, drying room and ski room with work bench. The chalet claims to have the finest views from any hot tub in the universe! There is a lounge with comfortable leather arm chairs and a tea room with fireplace. Meals are served in the rustic dining room and when warm enough in summer on the outside terrace literally at the foot of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the European Alps.
