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).

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!

Semaine au Buet

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 très agréable

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable au chalet Lampisterie. Le cadre est superbe. Seul petit bémol, le manque de lave-vaisselle et le train qui passe très tôt le matin, mais heureusement ça n’est pas très bruyant.

décevant au regard de l'annonce

1. fréquence du train que vous annoncez toutes les heures en réalité 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 même avec des bouchons d’oreille 2. le chalet est à côté d’un parking ou des camping-cars stationnent et font du bruit 3. la route de Vallorcine qui mène en Suisse est très fréquentée située à 50 m : bruit permanent 4. le chalet donne sur un chemin de randonnée qui mène au col des pontet, il est exposé sur la terrasse pour le peu ou nous avons pu manger dehors, ce fut sans intimité 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 poêles

Superbe chalet au calme

Une belle semaine dans ce joli chalet, déco superbe, confortable, et à l'écart du rythme trépidant de la vallée de Chamonix. A refaire !

Cozy ad warm chalet

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday week at Chalet Lampisterie. It was warm, cozy, and decorated nicely for the holidays. We highly recommend a stay here.

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!

Charmant

Nous avons passés un séjour très agréable dans ce chalet très bien aménagé et très confortable.Sa situation un peu isolée au bord de la forêt ajoute à l'impression de sérénité. Nombreuses randonnées au départ du chalet sans toucher à la voiture et arrêt du train(très peu bruyant) à proximité pour faire les courses à Argentière ou même aller à Chamonix (carte train 10.00€/personne pour la durée du séjour à retirer à l'office du tourisme de Vallorcines).

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.

Châlet très confortable pour une famille de quatre personnes. Belles prestations.

Accès difficile avec l'enneigement de cette année. ( les luges mises à disposition ont été trèsutiles pour amener les bagages jusqu'au parking). Châlet facile à vivre , très calme et proche de l'école de ski pour les enfants. L'accueil et la disponibilité de Ludwig ont été des plus appréciés : bois pour le poële, appareil electro-ménager prêté , conduite au parking jour de notre départ... Ce châlet sera idéal l'été car la vue est superbe tout autour, les chemins de randonnée sont à proximité, et le froid moins intense ne se fera pas ressentir près des ouvertures.de fenêtres. La décoration de bon gout a ajouté à rendre le séjour 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!
