Beautifully Renovated Chalet, Close to Lifts and Summer Park. Ski home
Chalet Le Bambi is a luxury refurbished chalet completed in Summer 2011. It has 5 spacious bedrooms, a large open-plan living ding area of 50sqm, 3 full size bathrooms and a separate WC. Le Bambi's most exciting feature is its location - 100 meters to the ski lifts and next to an old ski run down to the village enabling you to ski home to the door. Fully refurbished in 2011 to the highest standard, Le Bambi has underfloor heating throughout the Chalet and a wood burning stove to ensure cozy evenings in. The views of Mont Joly, Dome de Miage, the village and ski run can be enjoyed from the floor to ceiling windows. There are double glass doors in the kitchen opening onto a large terrace which can be used for barbeques/outside dining once the weather improves! The chalet is perfect for a large family or two families as it has 3 bedrooms on the top floor and two on the lower floor with the kitchen/living area in between. Safety gates, high chair and cot available.
Newly renovated Ski Chalet: This beautiful chalet, located right by the ski lifts, offers the potential to ski to the door at the end of each day on the slopes. Renovated to the highest standard in 2010/2011 this property is only on the market for a few weeks each year. Located in Les Contamines, a beautiful traditional alpine resort which still retains its village atmosphere, it is just a short drive from the sparking lights of Megeve or the action of Chamonix. Les Contamines is part of the Evasion Ski area - a huge area of approx 445km of pistes. The chalet is a 10 minute walk into the centre of the village and there is a regular free shuttle bus during the winter which stops less than a minutes walk away. The main ski lift is less than a 100meters walk from the front door and it is possible to ski right into the back door of the chalet (off piste route). The chalet has lots of storage for skis and ski equipment and the wood burning stove is perfect to warm hands after a long day on the snow.
Family Friendly Chalet: Chalet Le Bambi is perfect for a family winter ski holiday or a summer time mountain escape. Les Contamines is know as a family friendly resort and caters perfectly for little people in the winter and the summer. The creche is only a 10 minute walk from the chalet and will take children on a weekly basic, half days or full days. The village is perfect for children in the summer with a fantastic park which includes a swimming lake with beach, a natural lake with pedal boats and fishing, tennis courts, crazy golf, trampolines, playground and a great high wire course. There is rock climbing close by, horse riding and biking and the village organises daily activities for children to take part in. The park is only a 15 minute walk from the chalet making it a perfect base.

Exceptional
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
This is a large and well kept Chalet. Everything worked and it was great to be near the lifts and footpaths
However - in Summer the nearby lift does not operate and the Gorge lift is thus a 1000 yard warmup walk.
Kitchen - lovely. With a great opening sliding window -
Televisions - Superb
Lounge was excellent
Bedrooms - slightly larger than some Chalets
Showers excellent
Boot room/Ski room terrific
Play room - wow. And big with it.
Outside - lovely to eat outside.
Highly recommended

Exceptional property located beside the gondola
Fantastic property and resort. Probably the best resort we have visited. Incredible, uncluttered skiing area, great places to eat on the mountain, friendly local bars and eateries. The food was top quality throughout and we had blue skis and perfect skiing conditions in the last week of March. In terms of food Les Bouche Croisse on the mountain and T-Brez in the village were particular highlights. The property itself was newly finished, tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. It is literally a 30 second walk to the gondola which was nice! It's probably a 5 to 10 minute walk to the centre of the village and the bus we took stopped right outside the door. I can't find any fault with this resort or property. It was worth every penny. Planning to visit again next year availability permitting - hard to imagine going anywhere else after that trip. After 20 years of ski holidays this was probably the most enjoyable I've had. I'd buy this place if I had the cash!!
Nous avons adoré votre châlet et son emplacement !
Très agréable à vivre ,très grand, chacun y a trouvé sa place !
La terrasse qui entoure la maison est vraiment géniale !
Un superbe chalet très agréable pour des vacances en famille, très bien équipé pour les enfants (jeux, chaise-haute).
L’emplacement est top, au calme et en même temps proche du village et des zones d’activités (ski de fond, rando,...).
Une très belle semaine!
Merci

Beautiful chalet, great location, high quality finish, made very welcome
A beautiful chalet a very short walk from the main lift from the village. Very clean and in great condition.
Well equipped kitchen. Playroom/den a real bonus. Full of plenty to keep all ages entertained after skiing.
Lots of helpful advice from agent Mark both on arrival and through stay when needed.
Lovely local restaurant within walking distance. (Air du temps).

Amazing
Location- perfect. Close to lifts.
Accommodation- Luxurious
Village- I love les Contamines. If I could live there I would.
Its the second time we've rented this property as a big family group, and the forth time, we've all been together for a week of skiing in les Contamines. And whats more - we are renting it again next year- booked already.
Active holiday in a traditional village. Highlight of the year for the family members.

Top notch Chalet, in a idyllic setting.
I had an enjoyable stay in Chalet and would recommend it to all my friends and family. Its location is perfect, which is right next to the cable car to bring you up the mountain. Accommodation is top notch, we will be back again.

Well equipped chalet in a really convenient spot
We had a lovely week at Chalet Bambi - there were nine of us in two families. The bathrooms were clean and nicely presented (and there were enough of them!) We loved the kitchen layout, especially the views and the sound of the stream outside. The bedrooms were fine - better perhaps than the photos here show - and the quality of sheets and towels was very good. We had a slight problem with the ground-floor macerator-driven loo, but the owner's representative in resort managed to fix this for us pretty quickly. This was our second visit to Les Contas and, knowing that the resort bus service can be a bit iffy, not having to use public transport because the lift is so close to the chalet was a real boon. And thanks (Steve) for clearing the drive before we arrived!

A V O I D
Twee Bambi theme throughout.
The real horror began when I returned home and tried to get my deposit back. The owner fulfilled only half the transfer instruction, leaving my money stuck in a correspondent account. He ignored an email from his own bank dated March 29 telling him how to fix the problem. This email was shared with me. More than two weeks later he says he will do nothing more so I'm out a large sum of money because a man made a mistake and got mad.
This ordeal has gone on longer than two months and has left me traumatised and embittered with the trustworthiness of strangers.

We have never had this problem with a deposit return before in five years of rentals and I'm sorry this happened. John's instructions to return the deposit were followed to the letter, the deposit was sent to his correspondent bank with instructions to forward on to John's account in HK. John told me he did not receive the money so I initiated a trace and a complaint with my bank to find this money. After several weeks of pushing we confirmed with two forms of documentation that John's bank have the money. We have provided a trace id and a formal letter from the bank showing John the money is with his correspondent bank and legally they must send on the money or return it. If John would contact his bank with this information to ask why it is not in his account and provide documentation why they will not apply the money to his account we could reopen the complaint with our bank but as the money has reached his bank, my bank tell me there is no more we can do. It is a really disappointing this has happened as the stay in the chalet over New Year was very enjoyable.
I'd just like to update that John's bank returned the money to me two months after it was sent through. This is not normal practise. John gave me correct direct account instructions and the money was sent and received within three days.

Fantastic Chalet
There is only one word to describe this chalet, perfect! It's really beautiful inside and out and one of the best located chalets in the resort. The layout inside worked really well for our party of 11, including 5 kids,with plenty of space.
Location wise, I don't think you could get any better. It's a minute or so walk to the gondola and you can ski down a fairly easy red run pretty much to the front door. It was a busy half term week so not having to fight for a parking space was great.
Thank you for helping to make our children's first ski holiday so special. We hope to return very soon. The Kettlewell and Gleave families.

Fantastic !!!
Excellent accomodation and location, real home from home. Bedrooms ideally positioned in the chalet for large groups or two familiies. Brilliant drying area for ski jackets and boot drier.
Chalet was immaculate, beds comfortable.
Communication from owner excellent, quick and very informative.
Perfectly located for ski lifts, ski in/out. Excellent sking in Les Contamines.
We had a brilliant time and will certainly be back to stay in Le Bambi.
The Possy's & McGraffin's
Stayed here with a group of friends on a lads trip. 8 of us comfortably fit in, great access to lifts for the first snow- contamines not the craziest ski town in the world but there is definitely a few places where if you want to let your head down you can do so.. Quality of the skiing/ snowboarding beat expectations too.. Will be back next year
Eight bike loving enthusiasts would definitely recommend.. Came during the summer.. weather fantastic, good food not too far away and beautiful lake.. Even though the days were action packed still found it incredibly relaxing.. Thanks very much..

FANTASTIC FAMILY FUN!!
For a hassle free winter holiday with kids I cant recommend this chalet enough.. We have stayed at other chalets in the past and what you gain on one thing you give up on another.. Here however, life is made easy on every front. Great location very close to the lifts (perfect for our young kids), short walk into town but other restaurants nearby and you’re staying in a real home- you can see the owners a) have kids (SKY television and Peppa pig DVD’!!) and b) have spent a lot of time here themselves as everything is set up to maximise enjoyment for young and old.. Loved that the downstairs area has its own privacy – great for our nanny/ older kids having their independence.

Perfectly located, stylish and comfortable chalet
Highly recommend this perfect chalet. Practically ski in, ski out (Located about a 1 minute walk from the ski lifts and if snow is good you can ski right back to the front door). The town is a short walk away with good, easily walkable access to bars/restaurants. The chalet is warm and modern with great facilities (lovely decor, comfy beds, great showers and a fully equipped modern kitchen) but it retains a nice traditional feel. Living area is open plan with large, warm kitchen, dining area and sitting area and sleeping facilities are separate and self contained (3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs with a bathroom on each floor and 3 showers) making it ideal for sharing or big families. We loved this place and will be hoping to return next season!

Amazing...A sixth star is needed for this place!
I stayed in this Chalet in Contamines with my fiance over NewYears and we were blown away by everything....Its location is superb, its interior is seriously top class and it offers a beautiful, warm and homely feel, which is so important after a long day on the slopes! The pièce de résistance, were incredible full height glass doors in the kitchen that open to a terrace, where you can look over the incredible view of rolling, snow filled mountains, whilst having your morning coffee and bread...
Contamine is an amazing ski resort and we will most certainly be back...
They need to add a sixth star on the review tab for this chalet.

Fantastic stay at this gem of a chalet
We had a superb stay at this magnificent chalet and cannot recommend the resort or chalet highly enough. From the booking process to our arrival, stay and departure the whole process was seamless. The location of both the resort and the chalet are fantastic. We flew to Geneva and were at the chalet within an hour and the distance from chalet to ski lift is unbeatable at only about 100 metres allowing you to maximise your time on the slopes.
The chalet is kitted out to a very high standard but at the same time is very comfortable and cosy. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all brand new and well maintained. It is ideal for families and groups alike with plenty space for socialising in the kitchen/living area and adjoining balcony with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. The chalet offers plentiful storage for ski gear and there is ample parking outside. The village is only a ten minute walk away with some great bars, restaurants and nightlife and is an ideal spot for winter or summer sports enthusiasts!
We had an amazing holiday at the chalet and are already planning our return stay! Don't hesitate to book as you will not have any regrets!!

About the host
Hosted by Stephen Kelly
We are an family of 5 from Ireland. We love France, skiing and especially Les Contamines. We try to spend as much time as possible in Chalet le Bambi but with young kids at school its difficult. We want other families to experience and enjoy the chalet like we do.
Why they chose this property
Chalet le Bambi is perfect for two families to share or one large family. There are three bedrooms on the top floor, open plan living in the middle and two bedrooms on the lower floor. Toilets and showers on all three floors, and all the mod cons for living eating and enjoying your stay
What makes this property unique
Location location location ! Chalet le Bambi is situated just a 2 min walk from the Telecabine, and its possible to ski home to the door (piste stops 150meters from the chalet or off piste right to the door). In summer we are surrounded by beautiful views, great hiking from the door and just a 10 min walk from the adventure park/lake.
