About this property

Chalet on the Grand-Massif slopes, located 302 plateau des Saix in Samoëns

Come and spend an unforgettable week in our chalet at the start of the Grand-Massif slopes in Samoëns 1600!
Former alpine chalet on the Saix plateau, rebuilt in hard, we wanted to maintain this place which is dear to us in a 'mountain spirit', and this despite the development of the resort all around.

Equipped kitchen, large living room, two bedrooms and an alcove, this apartment can warmly accommodate 6 people.

For alpine skiers, the Domaine du Grand Massif offers more than 250 km of slopes at 5 resorts combined.
When you get up in the morning, all you have to do is put on your skis and off you go!

For cross-country skiers and snowshoe walkers or on foot: the Grand Massif Express, whose arrival is 300 meters from the chalet, takes you down in 8 minutes to the Pont du Giffre, at the entrance to the charming village of Samoëns '' where cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing trails and pedestrian trails take you for miles of walking and endurance from Morillon to Sixt Fer à Cheval all along the Giffre.


If you are more 'soft mountain', mulled wine in the sun: the terraces of the Lou Caboëns restaurant, adjacent to the chalet, will stretch your arms! The cuisine is exquisite, the atmosphere more than good and there is a fast food area with lounge chairs, feet in the snow.

And if you come with your children: the chalet is located next to the children's area of the ski schools. The ski area for beginners is here too.

In summer, the Giffre valley is full of outdoor activities of all kinds: hiking, access to numerous mountain huts, rafting, paragliding, mountain biking, climbing, via ferrata ... etc.
Come and discover the pleasures of the snowless mountain in the outdoor paradise for all ages, all tastes and all levels of practice.

Wonderful location but some drawbacks

Overall lovely apartment sympathetically renovated with modern bathroom and lovely alpine kitchen. The position was fantastic and the beds comfortable. However there were times when there was a strong smell from the drains, one night when the smell was too intense to be able to sleep in the second bedroom Also there is no TV or wifi, and the sofas are solid wood with only thin foam cushions on them

Glorious!

The chalet is right on the plateau of Samoens 1600, with very close access to the main gondola and other lifts. There is a parking space which is a little walk away, across the plateau although taxis will drop off a little closer, we paid about EUR250 for a taxi from Geneva airport which is a little over an hour away. The chalet had everything we needed and was perfect for our two young boys and us. Our sons were able to go to ski school with ZigZag which is a very short walk away (the chalet is next to the nursery slopes, along with ESF and ESI) and it gave the very best introduction to a ski holiday for our 4 and 5 year olds. The restaurant next door is great and there are two others on the other sides of the plateau. Whilst I don’t think the property listing mentions it, the chalet is effectively ski-in-ski-out depending on snow (we stayed in April ‘24 and for two days we had snow up to the door). We will definitely return, thank you so much Johanna!

Sehr schöne Hütte

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Bergurlaub - zwar leider mit wenig Schnee, dafür aber mit atemberaubendem Ausblick auf die Berge, total schönen Wanderungen und einer gemütlichen Hütte. (Kleiner Tipp: Bettwäsche und Handtücher müssen mitgebracht werden)

Superbe semaine en famille. Au pied des pistes ! Le bonheurs pour les parents et enfants !

Superbe semaine dans ce chalet . Au pied de l esf, les enfants pouvaient faire quelques pistes avant de démarrer leurs cours. Quel bonheur de rentrer le midi faire une pause en laissant les skis devant la porte . Le soir dehors, la vue est superbe et le calme est très appréciable. Au niveau du chalet, nous avions amener presque toute la nourriture, et avions acheté le frais au village avant de monter. Le chalet est très bien conçu ( nous étions 5 ) la salle de bain est très agréable. Ne pas avoir la tv et la wifi a fait du bien à toute la famille !! Bref, de très bons souvenirs pour tout le monde ..si je devais juste dire une petite chose négative: il manque un canapé un peu cosi pour se reposer après les pistes .. Mais vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Location très bien située, appartement très appréciable, les enfants et petits enfants ont été agréablement surpris et ont bien profité du logis et des infrastructures de Samoens 1600 et des ses environs. La neige abondante et le soleil étaient au rendez-vous, nous avons eu un séjour idéal. Mille mercis

quiet and great for our kids

Lovely stay at Chalet Katz. we woukd definitely book again. if you cannot live without Wi-Fi and phone signal then this place is not for you but if you want a peaceful stay with easy access to the slopes then this place is great. Spacious for the price. Really convenient for ski schools. Worked really well for us with children. it us a bit of a schlep bringing luggage from the road but once you are in and settled the accommodation has everything you need.

Fab location

The property is clean and basic but the main attraction is the location. it is right on the slopes. Fab for waking up, walking out the front door, putting skis on and away you go.

Urigies Berghüttenerlebnis

Die Berghütte an der Bergstation des Grand Massif Expresses auf 1600m ist ein einmaliges Erlebnis für die ganze Familie, wie man es wahrscheinlich nur noch selten erleben kann. Tagsüber ist trubel und am Abend ist alles (trotz neuem Club Med in der Nähe) total ruhig. Fantastisch ist die Aussicht auf die Bergwelt. Toll ist, dass man vor der Tür die Ski anschnallen kann und auch einmal die Mittagspause auf der "eigenen" Hütte verbringen kann. Die Verwalterin und die Eigentümerín sind total nett und bei jeder Frage hilfsbereit. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen!

Ideal an der Piste für Skifahrer

Wohnung im Souterrain, das Stockbett sehr durchgelegen, Restaurant im Hause, einerseits praktisch, im Winter aber sehr trubelig, abends sehr ruhig gelegen, keine Gastronomie! Haben uns als komplette Selbstversorger sehr wohl gefühlt, Übergabe reibungslos.

Very cosy stay!

We had a nice time in the chalet - its in a nice location and in the evening we had the mountain to ourselves. In the chalet you find enough space for six and the two bedrooms with double-beds are cosy for couples also! The kitchen is in a good condition and so are the shower and toilet. Also, we have to mention that the contact and conversation were really friendly! Thanks!!

Un endroit magique au milieu de la montagne

Le petit appartement qui jouxte le restaurant est spacieux, confortable, et très bien équipé ! Idéalement placé au pied des pistes, on peut laisser ses skis devant la porte et les reprendre au petit matin. Une fois les skieurs redescendus dans la vallée, on se sent vraiment seul au monde dans un endroit paisible et avec une vue magnifique sur le massif du buet. Les enfants ont adoré, je reviendrais en espérant trouver plus de soleil !!

Nice chalet, and very friendly host!

We stayed for a week at the chalet and it is ideally located, especially as you are straightaway on the slopes. It is clean, spacious with all necessary appliances (but maybe a washing machine but we did not really need it!). Johanna has been a very friendly and very helpful host, providing necessary guidance and instructions, while ensuring that everything was clean when we arrived. We really enjoyed it!

Seuls au monde

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour, notamment le fait d'être au pied des pistes et de l'ESF, de pouvoir déjeuner en terrasse du restaurant tous les midis, et surtout... d'avoir pu bénéficier de cette magnifique vue, particulièrement appreciable le matin au réveil ou le soir au coucher du soleil, quand le silence de la montagne nous envelope ! Par ailleurs, le chalet est confortable et chaleureux, même s'il s'agit d'un rez-de-chaussée. Adresse à recommender !

Le jour le ski, Le soir, la montagne ...

Cela fait 3 saisons que nous venons au chalet Katz, toujours aussi ravis ! Amoureux des sports de glisse, le jour est tout au ski avec ce domaine merveilleux. Le soir, c'est la montagne qui nous gagne, avec le calme authentique du chalet , le manteau de neige et les couleurs incroyables du soleil couchant. Seuls sur le plateau, on se croirait en refuge, avec le confort douillet en plus. C'est un tel délice que de déguster les fromages achetés au village et ramenés au chalet. On est bien loin de l'agitation, des hôtels, des routes, du monde, et on se retrouve simplement en famille. C'est pour cela que nous revenons au chalet, sur ce plateau !

Super séjour dans ce chalet au pied des pistes! Chalet très propre et bien équipé, Johana la propriétaire est très arrangeante pour l'installation et l'arrivée. On s'y sent bien, perdu au bout du monde dans l'immensité de la montagne, testé aussi bien l'été que l'hiver, je recommande fortement, allez y les yeux fermés!

Le charme du chalet typique, le calme de la montagne et de ses magnifiques paysages de Samoëns 1600, et les pistes sur le pas de la porte !!! Que demander de plus? Facilement accessible en voiture, c'est un petit coin de paradis perdu comme on en trouve plus beaucoup.

Des vacances de rêve

Comme il est agréable de pouvoir chausser les skis devant le chalet, de méditer le soir face à un magnifique coucher de soleil sur la vallée et montagnes environnantes, de rentrer dans un endroit propre, typique et chaleureux. Nous y avons passé de très bons moments et recommandons cette adresse sans hésiter, pour un séjour en famille, en couple ou entre amis. A noter, le plaisir d'être accueilli par une bouteille de blanc de la région, avec le programme du ciné et autres bons plans.

Great chalet in a superb location if you just want to ski / board and want a quiet location (after dark) - literally ski to the door! We chose this to avoid the morning faff of getting to the lifts etc and to be able to come back for lunch if we wanted to. Great with kids too especially if they're having lessons as the two main ski schools meet very near the chalet - a few mins walk away. Busy around the chalet in the day time as it's next to a restaurant but come 5 pm, peace and quiet return and the place is deserted. Our kids loved this - and some torchlight sledging was to be had right next to the chalet. The views of the surrounding mountains are stunning as the sun goes down and if the stars are out, it really feels like you have 'got away from it all'. This well equipped chalet gives easy access to the morning uplift without having to get all the way up from the valley floor and the time saved was welcome for a more leisurely start to the day. The parking for the chalet is about 300m away across the snowy plateau but there are sledges at the chalet - our kids enjoyed the novelty of hauling our bags across and it feels quite special to be staying somewhere that everybody else has to leave before the last lift down of the day. Johana was great at keeping in touch to make sure everything was ok before and after our visit. All in all a great place and we'd be very happy to visit again.
