Rental Secluded chalet (In the mountains, slopes, or forest) Chalet d'alpage de 1840 - col des aravis

About

Perched at an altitude of 1,300 meters, the Chalet, a fully-renovated former alpine farmhouse dating from 1840, nestles in the heart of alpine pastures and forest, offering a haven of peace where calm, beauty and freedom reign.
This rare setting offers a beautiful view of the Étale summit, where silence mingles with the majesty of the surrounding mountains. Lovers of nature and wide-open spaces will find it an ideal playground.

Just a five-minute drive away, the Col des Aravis and Plan Rebord reveal an exceptional panorama of the Aravis massif, inviting you to marvel.

A fully renovated former alpine farmhouse, this chalet has preserved the charm of the farmhouses of yesteryear while offering modern comforts. Authentic materials such as stone and old wood create an elegant simplicity and warm atmosphere. Self-catering in this refuge invites you to experience sobriety, in perfect harmony with nature, conducive to discreet observation of the local fauna.

Situated close to the famous Col des Aravis, an emblematic stage of the Tour de France, the chalet is accessible by a carriage road: in summer by car with a 4x4, and in winter by snowshoes (15-minute walk).

Antoine and Stéphanie will give you a warm welcome. A shuttle can be organized from the parking lot for your arrival and departure with your luggage.
