An authentic alpine winter or summer chalet. Next to ski piste and trails. 6 persons.10 mins from Chamonix. Superb views Reviews

We have stayed at the lovely Chalet Altitude on several occasions, both in and out of the ski season. Its location affords not only spectacular views of the valley towards Chamonix, Mont Blanc, the ski slopes, even to the Aiguille du Midi, but allows direct access to the piste for sheer ease and fun. Access to Les Houches, which provides all amenities expected, is a short car ride away down the hillside or even by a short cross country hike with a rucksack on to carry your provisions back to the Chalet.
The bright, warm and snug Chalet, on 3 levels, caters for everyone, the open plan kitchen/diner/living room a lovely place to cook (as I enjoy), eat (as they enjoy) or to simply read and admire the views (as we all do). Views vary from bedroom to bedroom offering a good all round view of your location.
Jan, the owner, who we have known over some years, is always a pleasure to communicate with, always helpful in terms of local knowledge and date-arranging, even down to securing car passes for us on a day we arrived which coincided with a world cup skiing downhill (the Kandahar, well worth seeing if you can!).
I would not wish to stay anywhere else with my family for the foreseeable future. Thanks to Jan and to Chalet Altitude.
