Luxury south-facing chalet 5 minutes from ski slopes, 15 minutes from Chatel


Chalet Pelerin, surrounded by the Chablais mountains, is situated midway between Abondance and La Chapelle d'Abondance and just a few minutes from Chatel. The chalet is just 75 minutes from Geneva with easy access to the Portes du Soleil which, with 650km of pistes, incorporates 14 resorts including Chatel, Avoriaz, Torgon, Champery, Morgins, Morzine and Les Gets.

It is a great base for either a winter or summer holiday as a place to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery. Abondance/Chatel is a true dual season resort, with extensive skiing and boarding in the winter, and walking, climbing, mountain biking, paragliding, kayaking, rafting and fishing in the summer.

The chalet has been designed in typical Savoyard style over 3 floors, covering 170 sq.m., featuring a large open plan lounge and dining area including leather sofas and solid oak dining room furniture, a fully fitted oak kitchen and separate utility area and fully furnished south-facing terrace overlooking the valley and River Dranse directly below.

There are 6 beautifully appointed bedrooms, (3 doubles and 3 twins), sleeping up to 12 adults (plus a child in a travel cot) with 4 bathrooms including 3 en-suite.

A wonderful Christmas break!
We spent Christmas at the Chalet Pelerin with family and all was perfect: the location, the chalet, the gifts from the owners. It is very close to La Chappelle d'Abondance where people are super nice. I recommend warmly!

Week-end entre amis.
Séjour très agréable dans ce grand chalet familial au cœur de la région. Ponctué de balades et de découvertes. Le chalet est très bien organisé. Nous étions trois familles à deux enfants chacune et tous avons eu notre espace. L'équipement complet pour passer un très bon moment. Le temps maussade nous a fait faire une petite flambée dans le poêle et rien ne manquait. Peut-être, une hache plus petite pour réaliser le petit bois serait plus appropriée, mais sinon parfait. Le contact avec les propriétaires, exclusivement par courrier électronique, fut toujours très cordial et plein de bienveillance. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cette location.

Très agréable
dispose de tout le confort nécessaire, et même plus ! Propre, spacieux et assez bien situé (pour le ski, selon conditions enneigement, prévoir de prendre la voiture) Bref, à recommander !

Chalet bien situé et agréable à vivre
Le chalet dispose de toutes les comodites possible. Nous l’avons trouvé dans un bon état de propreté. Au mur de nombreux posters de films qui donne, en plus, l’accès à la mémoire des nombreux films exposés. La seule petite remarque, pas bien grave mais gênante concerne la salle de bain du 1er étage (surtout l’accès à la cabine de douche par trop exiguë) en dehors de cela, je recommande vivement cette location.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Marian, John and Julie

Host profile image
Hi - We are Paul and Marian, John and Julie - neighbours in Lancashire, travel companions and joint owners of Chalet Pelerin. We first skied together in 2003 at a time when we were thinking about buying a holiday home and the idea of a ski chalet emerged over the next year. We settled in 2005 on the beautiful Abondance valley and the magnificent Portes du Soleil and moved in on 6 February 2006. We wanted to create a large ski chalet for rental that was also a home from home - and we think we've made a pretty decent job of it. We visit as often as we can in groups large and small to ski, walk, cycle, swim and recharge the batteries in this most peaceful, gorgeous and relaxing setting. And practice our rubbish French.

Why they chose this property

Abondance is a proper farming village with a lovely square which functions all year round unlike some ski areas which are ghost towns out of season. It's easy to reach from Geneva and is only 30 mins from the lake-side Evian and Thonon spa towns. The Sunday market is terrific. The skiing area is vast, varied (from the very quiet to the very busy), reliable and has benefitted from millions of euros in investment. Traditional alpine farming skills are still in evidence and whilst you can't move for tourists in many alpine areas in the summer these beautiful mountains can virtually be all yours. The autumn colours are dazzling.

What makes this property unique

The chalet is equipped with all the comforts of home to a very high standard - including a fully stocked kitchen (it is very rare that we are asked for something that is not provided), free WIFI, a 40 inch 'smart' TV (and 2 smaller ones) and a large selection of games, music and DVDs. We offer a very personal approach to all our clients, including flexible booking dates, to ensure you have all you need well in advance, and an excellent chalet manager to look after any problems during your stay. We provide a comprehensive information pack in advance and in the chalet and guidance on how to get the best of the facilities - but very few rules. We like to think that if we look after our guests they will look after our home.

A recent guest commented that they had never stayed in the same place twice before staying at ours.
