Chalet Valhalla - Self-catering house in Haute-Savoie
97 Chemin du Taro, 74400 Chamonix, Haute-Savoie
Rhône Valley - Alps,
Francia
You’re at the secluded, forested end of a no through road in the Chamonix valley, minutes from shops, restaurants and hiking and biking trails. The sophisticated 21st-century build is deceptively traditional, with masses of Savoyard timber, big windows onto the sunny terrace and a large, lawned garden complete with a beer-barrel sauna.
Everyone has their own space in handsome bedrooms with white linen and smart bathrooms piled with fluffy towels and robes. Come together in the communal spaces after days high in the mountains – take over the swish kitchen, dine around a convivial table or take drinks in the vast open-plan living area with its minstrel’s gallery and dramatically high, vaulted ceiling.
The valley is a skier’s paradise, no doubt – but the snow and ice melts to reveal fine walking country, lakes for rafting, opportunities for climbing. Don’t miss the pinion railway to see the Mer de Glace.

Colleen Olianti:
- I arrived in Chamonix as a keen young skier and traveller… and never quite got round to leaving. I have raised my family here, and we offer a truly personalised service.
- Whether you are searching for the ultimate winter skiing holiday or a superb summer holiday in the Alps, Chamonix with its stunning backdrop of Mont Blanc has something to offer everyone. We are on the spot to offer our local knowledge and contacts.
- Chalet Valhalla is close to the QC Terme Spa, sports and aquatic centre, market square (market on Saturdays through the year), Les Planards nursery slopes, the Albert 1er restaurant, the Microbrasserie bar.
- Chamonix is France's oldest ski resort, a real community with so much going on, easy to travel to just 70 minutes by road from Geneva. Plenty to entertain you from the open-air market to the casino!
- In summer the place is idyllic, and the range of opportunities fans out: hiking, white water rafting, climbing, golf, mountain biking, tennis.
- Chamonix has a huge variety of restaurants, from simple Savoyard options to Michelin star taster menus. We include breakfast in winter and have a chef who can provide additional amazing meals year round.
