Description from owner

Description

Chalet Gallois offers superb self catered holiday accommodation for up to 10 people in the beautiful Abondance Valley, it is only 90 minutes from Geneva Airport and is an ideal location for both winter and summer holidays. Châtel is part of the large Portes du Soleil ski area – a linked area of pistes in both France and Switzerland. The chalet is situated only one mile from the centre of the village with easy access to the Super Châtel ski area, and less than 3/4 mile from the Linga ski area.

A free bus service passes the chalet and there is a bus stop opposite the chalet. Off road parking for two or three cars is available directly in front of the chalet.

The chalet is spacious and accommodates 10 people in comfort, it is full of character with a large open living area complete with wood burning stove, chestnut flooring and authentic wooden beams. Sue and Martin have over the last few years undertaken extensive renovation and refurbishment of the chalet to a very high standard with the help of local craftsmen.

The open plan living area includes a large dining table providing a focal point for gathering together and discussion of the day’s events. It also includes a kitchen area with an oven, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. Comfortable seating is provided in front of the large fireplace.

There are five bedrooms – four with double beds and one with two single beds. One of the bedrooms has a mezzanine with extra sleeping area if required. Bedding and towels are available.

There is also a cot, highchair and baby gate for our younger guests.

There are two bathrooms with a shower, wash hand basin and toilet, together with a cloakroom. There is also an additional bathroom with a ‘Jacuzzi’ style bath, stone wash hand basin and toilet.

There is an additional shower adjoining the sauna.

In addition the chalet has Wifi, satellite TV (Freesat HD), a DVD player, Wii games console and iPod compatible Bose sound system. There is also a table football. Books, games and DVDs are available.

In the basement there is a washing machine and tumble drier. There is ample room in the basement for the storage of ski equipment or bikes.

There are two large patio areas with furniture for al fresco dining. There is a pleasant garden area offering both sun and shade, with a mountain stream running alongside the property.

We are part of the MultiPass scheme which runs in the summer months and provides great offers on many local attractions.

Covid 19

In these difficult times you can have the reassurance that we are complying with all the relevant enhanced cleaning protocols.

Covid-19 Update 5th November 2020

At the moment both French and Swiss authorities are saying that the Portes du Soleil area will be open as normal, with no restrictions on the number of skiers allowed on the slopes and no problem moving between countries. People will need to wear a mask whilst queueing for and riding a ski lift and numbers per lift will be reduced, so expect longer waiting times.  Restaurants and bars will be open but with fewer tables available and masks must be worn when not seated at the table.  The bus service will also operate with a reduced capacity. 

Obviously this is an ever changing scenario and depends very much on what Regional, National and International lockdowns are in place. We wait and see….

Getting around

There is a free bus service in summer and winter to the village and ski slopes, the bus stops are opposite and 100 metres from the chalet. Although a car is not essential it is helpful for shopping and going further afield. Because public transport is very limited out of season we would recommend a car for visitors at these times.

Interaction with guest

We have an agent in Chatel who will meet and greet our guests. He is available during your stay if any problems arise. We have been visiting Chatel ourselves for over 20 years and are happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, things to do etc.
