About this property

Independant chalet, Portes du Soleil Ski area, La Chapelle d'Abondance

[COVID 19. While we are still affected by the Covid 19 pandemic we are following the guidance of local authorities on opening our property. As restrictions are lifted we look forward to reopening fully, but cannot guarantee that our description of available local activities will be accurate. We may also have to adapt our changeover arrangements to comply with regulations and will ask our clients to follow guidelines given. ]
For summer 2021, June to October, we are offering free "Multipass de Portes du Soleil" to our guests (max 6 passes). The Multipass allows free access to many of the summer activities in the 12 villages comprising the Portes du Soleil area - swimming, ski lifts, tennis, mini golf, museums, local buses etc and would normally cost €11 per day per person.
Chalet Arthur was built in 1989 as a family home. Its 3 bedrooms (1 double, 2 twins) together with 2 beds on a mezzanine floor provide excellent accomodation for up to 8 guests. The ground floor has 1 bedroom and an L shaped lounge with fireplace and a spacious dining area. Patio doors lead out to the small eating terrace and garden which adjoins the owners farmhouse and field. A new kitchen was installed in 2012 with oven, 4 ring induction hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, everything you need. The ground floor has a shower room with basin, WC, and washing machine, while upstairs there is a bathroom with a large bath/shower, basin and WC. The Television, DVD player and some games are in the separate mezzanine lounge.
The chalet has a garage and off road parking for 2-3 cars.
We strive at all times to maintain and improve the chalet which has secured three star status in the new French system.

Winter Activities: The Portes du Soleil is one of the largest linked ski areas in the world. If that was not enough there are many other large resorts within 1 1/2 hours - Flaine, Verbier, Crans Montana , Argentiere etc. For beginners the village ski bus passes the door, but we recommend a car to profit from all the areas on your Portes Du Soleil skipass.
Summer Activities: There are hundreds of marked footpaths through the local Alps and mountains and Chatel has an impressive range of mountain bike routes accessible by the ski lifts.

Lake Geneva has shopping, beaches, lake excursions, thermal baths and innumerable summer festivals, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Chalet Arthur has a large garden in which to relax and enjoy the mountain and forest views or have a BBQ. May and June are months which enjoy an explosion of summer flowers and colours.

Out of season: the pleasures of this valley are often as good in low season as in the busy holiday periods. The flowers can be at their best and the ski and walking routes are quieter. Local fetes are colourful and interesting and it can be cheaper both to travel here and stay here.

Everything we could wish for!
Beautiful area and lovely chalet (everything we needed). Very comfortable, warm and welcoming. We went to ski as a family and although the snow was sparse, it was enough for us. Arthur is in an ideal location. Peaceful yet conveniently placed for food shopping, skiing and villages, yet away from the hustle and bustle. Richard and Angela were perfect hosts. Lovely to meet them!

Séjour parfait
Le descriptif du chalet est tout à fait respecté et les hôtes sont charmants et disponibles pour rendre service tout en restant très discret… Bref toutes les conditions sont réunies pour un séjour reposant et réussi… Nos hôtes avaient poussé la gentillesse à mettre à notre disposition des cartes donnant droit à des activités sportives et culturelles dans le domaine des portes du soleil Bref je recommande sans hésiter !

un chalet bien équipé mais quelques nuisances.
Beaucoup d'espace . Deux salles de bains dont une avec grande baignoire. Très bien équipé. Netflix .Supermarché 10 minutes à pied. Bouteille de vin de bienvenue. Proximité des voisins. Route assez proche du chalet. Sablière en face avec va et vient de camions. Peu de lumière naturelle en rez de chaussée mais le premier étage est plus clair .

Nous remercions Richard pour son accueil et bienveillance tout au long de notre séjour. Nous n'avons eu qu'une seule demande à laquelle Richard a rép ndu de façon très réactive. Le châlet Artgur est très très confortable et très bien situé. La danse au bout du chemin nous a assuré des ballades bien pratiques. Nous remercions Samantha et Richard pour leur gentillesse.

Gemütliches Chalet mit sehr nettem Vermieter
Sehr netter, unkomplizierter Kontakt. Gemütliches Chalet mit guter Ausstattung. Wer kein oder wenig Französisch kann, kommt hier super mit Englisch weiter. Einkaufsmöglichkeit nur 500 m entfernt. Mit dem Multipass, der in der Miete mit drin ist, kann man umsonst Bergbahn fahren. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt.

Très beau chalet confortable et très bien équipé dans une vallée magnifique
Chalet parfait pour notre famille avec 3 jeunes de 22 à 18 ans. Tout est très bien organisé et en parfait état. Les chambres sont très agréables avec des lits conforts. Les salles de bain sont comme neuves et les serviettes bien grandes et douces. La cuisine est comme neuve et il y a tout pour cuisiner. Les deux séjours du haut et du bas sont bien appréciables pour que chacun ait son espace. La vallée offre des possibilités de randonnées magnifiques et la proximité avec la Suisse et le lac leman permet même des baignades. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et discrets tout en étant dans une maison proche ce qui est rassurant en cas de soucis. Le supermarché est accessible à pied et dispose de tout le nécessaire. Les seuls petits bémols la route pas très loin qui peut perturber le calme de la montagne.

Beyond expectations
Our skiing trip/stay at Chalet Arthur was beyond expectations. The surroundings and the chalet are wonderful, even better than the pictures; the atmosphere, a warm authentic interior, a cosy fireplace... The chalet is amazingly well equipped and accommodating. At arrival, towels, bed linnen, washing up liquids, toiletpaper etc were available and even cleaning and laundry charge are included. There is a key box (you will receive a code) at the front door; late arrival was not a problem. Also very convenient, a big supermarket (±500m) towards Chatel, were you can buy everything. Richard the owner was extremely helpful. One of the us left his passport/credit card in a drawer; the next day he already send us a package! We highly recommend Chalet Arthur to everyone, thank you Richard for being the perfect host!

het chalet voldeed zeer aan onze verwachtingen: gezellig en comfortabel. Eigenaar Richard heeft alles gedaan om het ons naar de zin te maken en stond ons bij met raad en tips. Kortom een perfecte gastheer! Pluspunten: houtkachel, zithoek, fijne badkamers, goed uitgeruste keuken en ruime parkeerplekken! Langlaufloipes op steenworpafstand. Kortom een aanrader!

Why they chose this property

Chalet Arthur was our own holiday home for 10 years before we decided to live permanently in the France. As pleasant in summer as in winter we realised that it would make an excellent retirement location. Now established in a renovated Abondance farmhouse next door we enjoy sharing our pleasure with holidaymakers from all over the world.
