Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Chamonix, France

Located in the sought-after La Frasse neighbourhood of Chamonix close to many of the resort?s sports facilities, this modern 5-bedroom chalet will be a haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of the mountains.
A quiet residential area accessed by a private road, La Frasse is one of the best neighbourhoods in the Chamonix Valley with a selection of restaurants, boutiques and supermarkets within walking distance from the chalet.

Set at an altitude of between 1035 and 3842 metres, Chamonix has pistes for skiers of all levels from the nursery areas of Les Planards and Les Chosalets for beginners to the Vallée Blanche and the Lavencher bowl for more experienced thrill seekers. 


THE CHALET
