Helen is so hospitable and has created such a warm, cozy, and pleasant home to share with her guests. My room was spotless, so comfortable, and the location is great - close to the train station and Vallorcine ski lift + ski shop.

The Guest House is a true home away from home. The chalet has been tastefully renovated and offers a wonderful coalition of modern living and Alpine charm. Sleeping up to nine guests each of the four spacious bedrooms has its own private bath or shower room. Three of the rooms have a balcony with views of the mountains and one room has views over the forest and mountain fields. The open plan guest living/dining room and kitchen enjoy the warmth and comfort of a log fireplace. The surrounding sunny balcony and beautiful gardens offer the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy the breathtaking mountain scenery. Guests can help themselves to tea and coffee free of charge throughout the day. The chalet is perfectly located for you to enjoy your Skiing & Summer Adventures. The ski lifts, Vallorcine - Le Tour, are a short ten-minute walk or a two-minute drive away. Walking, Hiking, Biking and Climbing are on your doorstep. Golf de Praz, Trent Jones course, is just a 15-minute drive away. Vallorcine offers numerous restaurants and the village of Argentiere is just a short hop over the col by car or train. The main town of Chamonix is easily reached by car or train and nothing is far ...
Our passion for Skiing and Adventure first brought us together over twenty-five years ago. Helen, Born in Stockholm with dual Swedish & French nationality, moved to Chamonix for her love and passion of Telemarking & Mountain biking. Helen's interests are everything natural and sporting. She's a Massage Therapist and a great cook. Steve, Born in Sussex England, grew up in a sporting family. His love for skiing, climbing and adventure brought him to Chamonix. He's a keen golfer and Chamonix's multiple time golf champion. Sebastien & Alexandre, Born in Chamonix, have grown up in the mountains as natural born skiers. Both share our love for sport and they are forever outside. Speaking English, French and Swedish they are only too happy to help. We have welcomed guests from all over the world for over twenty years and we still love what we do.
The Guest House is situated at the high end of the Chamonix valley next to the Suisse border. On the doorstep, there are hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, fishing, outdoor tennis, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and alpine skiing. There's a Trent Jones golf course and a beautiful spa 15 min away down in Chamonix. The Chamonix Express train takes you through the Vallorcine - Chamonix valley. There are so much to see and experience in the valley, from sightseeing to doing sports.
