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).

Lovely swiss chalet.Confortable and Nice accommodation.Mont blanc train is very useful (go to Chamonix or All ski slops). Very easy to use train. Location close to Brevent, grands montets or vallorcine. Hiking tracks are opposite the chalet. Excellent choice, within reasonable distance of the hustle and bustle of Chamonix.

Mooi verblijf

Mooie weken gehad.Je moet wel van een bad houden, want douchen in een badkuip zonder afscherming is niet heel handig. Gelukkig liggen wij graag in bad!

Magnifique chalet superbement rénové et aménagé avec beaucoup de goût. On est au paradis dans le Chalet Lampisterie, perdu au bout du chemin. SAUF malheureusement la proximité du train qui a rendu nos nuits difficiles... Merci beaucoup pour tout. Daphné

Séjour trÚs agréable

Nous avons passĂ© un sĂ©jour trĂšs agrĂ©able au chalet Lampisterie. Le cadre est superbe. Seul petit bĂ©mol, le manque de lave-vaisselle et le train qui passe trĂšs tĂŽt le matin, mais heureusement ça n’est pas trĂšs bruyant.

décevant au regard de l'annonce

1. frĂ©quence du train que vous annoncez toutes les heures en rĂ©alitĂ© toutes les demi-heure dans une direction donc tous les quarts d’heure dans les 2 sens, de plus il est 3 m de la chambre, impossible de ne pas l’entendre mĂȘme avec des bouchons d’oreille 2. le chalet est Ă  cĂŽtĂ© d’un parking ou des camping-cars stationnent et font du bruit 3. la route de Vallorcine qui mĂšne en Suisse est trĂšs frĂ©quentĂ©e situĂ©e Ă  50 m : bruit permanent 4. le chalet donne sur un chemin de randonnĂ©e qui mĂšne au col des pontet, il est exposĂ© sur la terrasse pour le peu ou nous avons pu manger dehors, ce fut sans intimitĂ© 5. la chambre du haut ne fait que 1,7 m max au plus point : non habitable selon moi 6. vaisselle chiche : manque assiettes et poĂȘles

Cosy, cute and quiet

It's a cosy chalet for a very nice holiday. The guys from mountain people were very helpful and ready to help us with everything... from extra firewood to extend our stay. Everything went smooth. The apartment fulfilled our needs. It's next to the tracks, but because the train being electrical you don't really hear it. It's above all convenient to have it nearby. We will probably come back!

Lovely

Sebastian ensured that all the booking and pre visit arrangements were very straightforward, clear and professional. The chalet was, as we were expecting (the pictures of it are representative of what to expect), it was beautifully furnished and all that you may need has been provided. Having said how nice the chalet was the aspect we loved the most was it's location which is magical.

ChĂąlet trĂšs confortable pour une famille de quatre personnes. Belles prestations.

AccĂšs difficile avec l'enneigement de cette annĂ©e. ( les luges mises Ă  disposition ont Ă©tĂ© trĂšsutiles pour amener les bagages jusqu'au parking). ChĂąlet facile Ă  vivre , trĂšs calme et proche de l'Ă©cole de ski pour les enfants. L'accueil et la disponibilitĂ© de Ludwig ont Ă©tĂ© des plus apprĂ©ciĂ©s : bois pour le poĂ«le, appareil electro-mĂ©nager prĂȘtĂ© , conduite au parking jour de notre dĂ©part... Ce chĂąlet sera idĂ©al l'Ă©tĂ© car la vue est superbe tout autour, les chemins de randonnĂ©e sont Ă  proximitĂ©, et le froid moins intense ne se fera pas ressentir prĂšs des ouvertures.de fenĂȘtres. La dĂ©coration de bon gout a ajoutĂ© Ă  rendre le sĂ©jour plaisant et chaleureux.

Great week in the Alps

Highly recommend this fantastic chalet which has been recently re-designed to a high standard. Coming from Geneva airport, it’s an easy 1.5 hour drive, mostly on the motorway then around 30 mins on beautiful mountain roads until you reach Le Buet. The house is super cosy and modern at the same time. The kitchen is well equipped and the open plan living space is great for enjoying dinner, games and cosying by the fire. Access to Argentiere and Chamonix was really easy by car and train. There was a really handy beginner area nearby for beginners. It was great to come back here every day after skiing - so much so that the kids didn’t want to go anywhere!

Why they chose this property

The chalet's fantastic location gives you access to the entire Chamonix Valley, including prime skiing spots such as Argentiere, Les Houches, Le Tour & Vallorcine. The chalet is in a calm spot and has recently been renovated to a high standard, providing both a functional and comfortable house, with a warm and cosy, designed interior.
