We’re very proud to announce that we now have our hot tub installed in the perfect spot. You can take in the views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi and the Dru whilst luxuriating with the relaxing hydromassage - it’s a great place to appreciate the unbelievable Alpine sunset.
We got the hot tub from Chamonix Hot tub and Spa who were very helpful - highly recommended! They will also be handling all the maintenance so that the water is sparkling clean for all our guests.

We now have Christmas week availability at the chalet until Boxing day. So if you were thinking of a white Christmas in the snow, why not give us a call? The chalet is available catered or self-catering, and sleeps ten people in five bedrooms.
Early winter season climate and snowfall have been fantastic and all the signs point to superb ski and snowboard conditions in Chamonix this Christmas - or just come and enjoy the snow while relaxing in our hot tub!

A weekend of gardening - it was like the Chamonix Strimmer Massacre! We want to keep the garden natural, and are going to leave most of it as a meadow of Alpine flowers, but the best way to do this, we’re told, is to cut it back twice a year.
The plan is to have the area immediately surrounding the chalet as short grass - nice to sit on in the summer - and then let all the rest be meadow, with some paths mowed through it so that it’s easy to reach the tracks beside the river - these are a beautiful walk that we love to take in the evening, but dew on the knee-high grass can get you a bit damp - hence the paths.
Eventually we want to crane some boulders in and make a huge granite table from them, but this may take some time…
Also this time - hanging the first of the beautiful red linen thermal backed curtains that Nick’s mother has made for us..they look really wonderful, we can’t wait to put the rest of them up. They make the chalet’s bedrooms most luxurious.
Chamonix itself is getting really smart now as work continues with the pedestrianisation of the town centre. The new flagstone pavements look great and the pace of the work is amazing - it seems like a whole street was completed over the last few days. It’s good to see it - Chamonix has such lovely squares and granite buildings and this makes a real difference to the look of the town.
