Great place for family.
This was a great house for our family of 7. Everything was just a few minutes walk or bus ride for us. Easy walk to access Monte Blanc Gondola. Also away from the noise of town center. Great views.

Chalet Oscar is amazing
All 7 people in our group thought this a fantastic place, even better than shown in the photos. The chalet exudes quality, the owner is very friendly and helpful and the neighbourhood is excellent. We tried most of the recommendations in the welcome pack and agreed with them too. We all look forward to staying here again!

Lovely chalet
Can’t fault anything about the chalet. The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped; everything has been well thought through. We rented this as part of my partner’s 50th birthday celebrations with family joining us for some of the stay. They were all very impressed with the chalet, and although we had a full house it never felt crowded.

House was great!
House was big, close to town and able to walk everywhere. Loved that we didn't need a car. Just FYI--TV is quite small for the living area. The TV did not work for us anyways which was another issue but the owner was going to look into it. The washer and dryer are very small for a house that size so plan accordingly. Otherwise house was great for our family of 6.

This property is absolutely awesome. Three minutes walk to Cham Sud bus stop for access to all ski areas. Place has been renovated to a very high standard. It was a delight to stay in it. Grant was a perfect host, accommodating us with anything we required. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to visit Chamonix Valley. Cheers Frank PS look out for the abseilers ;-)

Fantastic week in chamonix
Chalet Oscar is in a fantastic location central to town. We had a big group (6 adults and one infant) which works well in the layout of the chalet. It is only 8 mins walk to a great bakery, 2 minutes walk to a fantastic bar and about 10 minute into the centre of town. Access to activities was brilliant and we got free train passes from the tourist office which made for a great week when not much else was open. The chalet has a great layout with the ground floor being completely self contained (its own kitchen / living area). Only minor issue was the traffic noise if staying on the top floor of the chalet from early morning. Great host communication!

Beautiful Ski chalet in the heart of Chamonix
We were fortunate to have found this wonderful chalet. We were a family of 5 on holiday with another family of 5 (2 grandmas in the group). We all had privacy as all rooms have private bathrooms and showers. We were amazed the hot water was enough for all 10 in the group! The living area is gorgeous with beautiful views. Two washing machines downstairs were a nice touch. Loved the room to enter after skiing with the area to hang boots to warm! Wow! The interiors were done with great taste. Cant wait togo back..

Chamonix spring getaway
Family of 5 in the springtime - plenty of room to spread out but still come together for meals and social time. The house is clean, modern, and well-appointed. Some of us really enjoyed the sauna after a day of hiking. Things to note - the house is on 3 levels. You can get a car near levels 1 and 2 for loading/unloading. The master is on the top level with a small winding staircase. The entrance for Aiguille du Midi is an easy 7-10 minute walk mostly downhill. You can watch the cable cars go up/down from the house. While there's a pizza restaurant close by, most of the main part of town is a 15-20 minute walk.

A Fabulous French Alps Retreat
We just returned from our stay at Chalet Oscar and my house is disappointing compared to where we just living! Grant's perfectly renovated chalet is just amazing. Everything is brand new, sparkling clean, and luxurious. The three upstairs bedrooms all have their own bathrooms so all the adults in our party had privacy. We left the entire downstairs to the kids, who had to share showers/bathrooms but there was plenty of room for everyone. The dining area is all sliding doors which we had open for every meal. We ate a few breakfasts/lunches in town but had dinner in the chalet every night. The town is walking distance from the chalet and we went there each day, including taking the gondola to the top of the mountain. There are also several hikes that are within walking distance from the chalet. I have to comment that although we were there in the summer and were not skiing, this chalet has the most unbelievable area for storing ski equipment. It is like nothing I have ever seen. There is a separate entrance where you would take off all your ski clothes and store ski equipment and it would not be in your way at all during your stay. There is also a sauna and huge shower outside the sauna which we did not use in the summer weather. The master suite (which is where I stayed) is a treat as it has its own loft and sitting area. The house is decorated very stylishly - plenty of fur which we loved! We were 8 people in total and we were very comfortable, but you could definitely fit more if they were couples (double beds). Do not hesitate to rent this chalet - it was amazing!

Chalet grand standing et tout confort
Notre court séjour au chalet Oscar a été un enchantement. Dans un contexte Covid, quel bonheur de se ressourcer au pied du Mont Blanc dans ce chalet luxueux, idéalement situé pour se balader dans le centre de CHAMONIX. A proximité également (en voiture) des premières pistes de Ski Nordique. L'accueil a été parfait avec des produits locaux offerts ainsi qu'une bouteille de champagne. Le chalet est aménagé avec beaucoup de goût et tout a été pensé dans les moindres détails pour notre plus grand confort. Les 3 niveaux du chalet permettent à chacun de pouvoir s'isoler si besoin. Nous étions une famille de 8 personnes, et les enfants (ados et jeunes adultes) ont été ravis d'avoir le premier niveau du chalet pour eux ;-) Et merci à Grant pour son hospitalité !

Excellent New Year's Skiing Trip
Weve just returned from an excellent family skiing holiday in Chamonix. The chalet made the holiday. It's been exquisitely renovated and decarated and is perfect for relaxing after a long day skiing. The boot dryer was an excellent addition. We can't fault our stay and are already looking into booking for next year. Thank you Grant for being an excellent host.

About the host

Hosted by Grant

Host profile image
We purchased the Chalet in 2016 as a slightly dated 1960's building requiring a lot of updating and renovation - so after two years of major renovation, internal and external, taking it back to an empty shell - having taken the roof off, removed floors and almost all internal walls, added two extensions....we're really pleased with the result. We hope you will be too.
