About this property

Superb Le Buet Chalet, nr skiing, Chamonix, Argentiere, Les Houches, Vallorcine

Enjoy lazy mornings in pure white Egyptian cotton sheets; wrap yourself in furry blankets by the glass fronted wood-burning stove and prepare romantic dinners by candlelight, following a long day on the slopes.

Chalet Lampisterie is a beautiful converted, former railway building, where the chugging trains oil lamps were prepared during the golden age of steam. The ‘shed’ has since been extended and renovated to a high modern standard. It is situated in the beautiful rural village of Le Buet and modern electric trains have now replaced the old steam ones, easily linking guests to all the main ski areas of the valley: Chamonix, Argentiere,Le Tour, Le Buet and Vallorcine.

This charming and cosy family home renovation provides accommodation for up to 6 people (but a maximum of 4 adults). Chalet Lampisterie is perfect for a small group of friends, 2 couples or a family of 2 adults with up to 4 children.

There is easy connectivity to all the ski areas via the train and the local ski school is a short walk away in the middle of Le Buet village making this a perfect chalet for the ‘younger learners’.

Pets: We can only accept 1 small, well-behaved house trained dog. Dogs should be kept off furniture and prevented from entering bedrooms. All dog litter must be picked up from garden and areas surrounding the chalet. Please always let us know breed, size and age of your pet. Puppies and large dogs are not permitted.

There are 2 bedrooms, including a romantic master bedroom with high ceilings. A beautifully designed bathroom provides opportunity for relaxing dips in a large roll-top bath with a full supply of toiletries. A further bedroom contains 4 single beds (2 principal beds, and a further 2 tucked under the sloping wooden roof beams).
