Great place in a superb location

Lovely warm cosy chalet. Really well set up for large family groups. A good location 5 minutes from the slopes at LaChapelle. The host was great and advised on good places to visit. A great place for a skiing holiday!

Wonderful accommodation

Our new year friends snd family skiing holiday was made even more perfect by the wonderful accommodation, The chalet is perfect for large groups but also maintains a homely and cosy feel. Communication with Paul was effortless, who was a wonderful host. Location is great for the many surrounding ski areas and beautiful towns. Can’t recommend enough.

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!

Wonderful chalet.

Immediately felt at home in this wonderful chalet, the furnishings and finish of the chalet was superb with all you could possibly need in the kitchen cupboards. Would recommend this chalet very highly but you do really need a car as the local ski buses are not that frequent, but that does mean that you can explore properly this stunning area. Great place and well worth a visit

Wow!!! This chalet is a fabulous home from home!!!

Well what can I say other than this chalet is perfect in every way, the detail that the owners have put in is very impressive everything has been thought about all you need to do is arrive and enjoy the spectacular views and scenery. The chalet is managed and maintained to the highest standards and for anyone looking this would be the best decision you make by booking this chalet by far! I have just returned after having a week there with a small family party and already looking to get the next visit in place (missing it already) the location is perfect for access to ski resorts etc and some lovely places to dine and browse at your leisure. Thank you for the best holiday and sharing this beautiful home with us and we look forward to staying there in the near future.

Comfortable, warm and homely

A fantastic chalet - clean, warm, comfortable and very well- equipped to a high standard. The accommodation met our party’s needs perfectly - so nice for each of our 3 separate family groups to have their own space and bathroom facilities. Plenty of room for the 9 of us to enjoy a meal together around the dining table or an evening round the fire playing games. Contact with Paul was great. Several ski lifts an easy drive away. The only thing we missed was a bar or restaurant within walking distance of the property hence 4 star rating overall. Thank you Chalet Pellerin ! We would definitely visit again .

Awesome chalet, first class.

Second year of staying here. Excellent communication from Paul leading up to our arrival. Once here, the owners have thought of everything you might need for a party of 12. 6 decent bedrooms, 3 double with en-suite bathrooms & 3 twin with an extra bathroom. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of pots, pans & crockery. The only thing missing is a hot tub! Maybe next year?! Skis & passes can be pre-booked, for delivery directly to the chalet. You really need a car to get to the ski lifts but once there, it gives you access to the huge Porte du Soleil region. So good we’ve already booked to go back next year.

Wonderful home away from home

We were there in the summer, grandparents, parents and children. Luckily, the weather was agreeably cool. Not only is this chalet spacious (6 bedrooms) with all the extraordinary amenities (just think: there never was a queue to a bathroom), but also nothing is missing, even a set of plastic dishes and cups for the little one. Cooking was a cinch, so many excellent pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, glasses in profusion. A dish washing machine, clothes washing and drier, a second small fridge made the stay even easier. Add to that the location with its views on the green mountains; the different open air markets close by; the many treks up the mountains - or by cable car - to numerous lakes; a fascinating visit to the Devil's Gorge; in Thollon - 25 minutes away by car - paragliding down to lake Geneva or walking by the cliffs with a fantastic view of the lake; so many places to go to. Really, a perfect place for a summer holiday with children.

Great for winter skiing

A very well equipped and clean, modern, chalet located just off the main road between Abondance (3 mins drive) and La Chappelle (5 mins drive). Communication with the host was excellent - they were very friendly - and instructions, directions, etc, first class. They also recommend ski hire providers and offer to arrange lift passes for you. Towels & bed lined were included (and they also left us some sausage & a pasta bake as am added bonus!!). The chalet is comfortable for up to 8 adults but would be a tight squeeze for more than that (the dining table seats 8-10 & lounge area 7-8). If you're skiing you really need your own transport. The Linga lift is 15 mins drive & Pre La Joux 20 mins. Both have lots of free parking. The driveway to the chalet is steep and you'll need winter tyres or chains in snowy conditions (but you can park at the bottom of the drive if needed). There are no bars & restaurants close by but plenty within 5 mins drive. If you're okay with all that then it's an excellent place to stay for skiing.

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.

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.

Chalet accueillant, parfait pour Noël

Nous avons passé notre fête de Noël dans ce chalet avec plusieurs membres de famille (9 adultes, 1 enfant, 2 bébés). Le chalet était exactement ce qu’on a cherché pour notre fête: un endroit grand, bien équipé et confortable, avec en plus des attentions spéciales comme le déco de Noël pour ajouter à l’ambiance :) Malgré le temps pendant notre séjour nous avons vraiment profiter de ce moment, nous avons spécialement apprécié la poêle pour se réchauffer! La mise à disposition des serviettes et de la literie était également un plus, surtout la bonne qualité de l’ensemble. Nous n’hésiterons pas de retourner encore dans ce chalet.

Nous ne regrettons pas notre location et n'hésiterons pas à relouer pour un prochain séjour. La communication avec Paul a été excellente dès le début de la réservation.

Idéal pour le ski

Le chalet est parfait, un peu en retrait d'une route très fréquentée, mais dans une vallée assez encaissée donc peu de soleil en hiver, et aucune possibilité de promenade, ni de courses à pied directement à partir du chalet, le tarif est affiché en euros mais facturé en livres ce qui occasionne des frais de change

Merci beaucoup, Hugues et Dominique, d’être nos invités et pour votre avis. Ma femme a été un peu surprise car elle ne skie pas mais trouve de nombreuses occasions de marcher, dans les deux sens le long de la rivière ou dans les montagnes via les remontées mécaniques. Je dois également mentionner pour le bénéfice des clients non britanniques que nos taux sont en livres, ce qui signifie que les paiements finaux dans d’autres devises sont soumis à des mouvements de taux de change, généralement très mineurs, sur lesquels, malheureusement, nous n’avons aucun contrôle. Je suis désolé que le taux de change ait été un inconvénient plutôt qu’un avantage à cette occasion. Cordialement et bonne année.
