About the host
Hosted by Janet Jones
I discovered the Chamonix Valley in 1999 and was transfixed by its charm and was able to purchase Chalet Altitude in the autumn of that year.
I spend several months each year at the chalet but It is a pleasure to have guests to stay there , either summer or winter and who appreciate it .
A vicarious pleasure for me....
