OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Alphonse is an OVO Network property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Chalet Alphonse is a three-storey chalet for up to 10 guests (eight adults) with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a sauna and exercise area. With two en suite  bedrooms on the first floor (a master suite and a bunk room for four) and two more on the lower ground floor (two doubles, each with access to the lower terrace), there's a good degree of privacy for everyone. There are also two separate seating areas - one with a large sofa in front of the fire and  another on the mezzanine landing with  a TV and table football. This layout means that those looking for a little peace and quiet won't be disturbed! The open-plan living area opens on to a spacious furnished balcony which wraps around two sides of the house so that you can chase the sun. There's plenty of room to eat out here in the summer, and in the winter, you can wrap up and enjoy some stargazing. If you'd rather spend your evening in the hot tub, you'll find it on the lower terrace - just off the wellness area, which has a sauna, shower and exercise room. With such wonderful facilities and a stylish, contemporary decor, we think Chalet Alphonse is the perfect base for a mountain holiday at any time of year. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

Chalet Alphonse is in a quiet location just a 15-minute walk from the centre of the Châtel, a popular mountain resort in the Portes du Soleil ski domain. The shuttle bus stops just 200m from the door, and the Linga gondola is 1.4km away. The Super-Châtel / Barbossine and Linga / Pre la Joux/ Plaine Dranse sectors that surround the village have 41 ski lifts and 45 slopes, providing plenty of scope for all ages and abilities. Châtel is still a traditional farming village, retaining its Savoyard architecture and character. But the growth in ski tourism means it now boasts some wonderful restaurants, both on and off the slopes. There's also a great aquatic centre with spa facilities, as well as indoor and outdoor pools, and a popular indoor play centre for younger children. In the summer, there is a huge choice of trails for hikers and bikers, and those with a taste for adventure can try the Fantasticable - a zipwire which will have you hurtling between the mountains at up to 100kph. There are plenty of places to explore around Châtel too - the picturesque medieval village of Yvoire, on the banks of Lake Geneva, is just an hour away and the beautiful Chateau de Chillon, near Montreux, is even closer. Châtel is easily accessible from Geneva airport, either by car (about 90 minutes), train or bus. Or you could arrive in style by booking a helicopter transfer!
