In order to share our passion for life in the mountains and our attachment to the traditional Alpine habitat, we built this contemporary chalet inspired by the traditional Walser habitat of our mountainous countries, still present in Vallorcine Mont Blanc, which is the only Walser village in France. Precursors as to the chosen type of local wood construction, blown wood wool insulation, triple glazing, geothermal energy, photovoltaic panels, this makes it possible to offer great comfort and to emit no emissions into the atmosphere. The exterior design with its larch wood and iron frame, as well as the corbelled rooms recall and modernize the Walser design, which gives Chalet Walser a very warm character, both modern and authentic but also truly unique. Other Walser mountain villages are in Saas Fee, Griemens, Zinal in Switzerland and Greysonney, Alagna Val Cesia in Italy, Vallorcine is the only Walser village in France.
A pearl of the Alps and a haven of peace in the Pays du Mont Blanc. We had this contemporary chalet built in 2015, because we made the choice to live higher than Chamonix Mont Blanc in order to be able to live in a rural and authentic mountain village, now that Chalet Walser is fully operational, it is the perfect place to come and stay as a couple or for two or three friends, lovers of skiing and hiking and anxious to stay in a charming tourist accommodation soon to be classified 4 stars.

The habitat is sparse and behind the chalet, the cows come to graze the surrounding grass fields.
