About this chalet rental
[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.

Summary of reviewsBeautiful area and lovely chalet with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Ideal location, peaceful yet conveniently placed. Perfect hosts. Highly recommended!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Beautiful, well equipped and pretty large property (for our family of 4) in a lovely area near to Chantal. Plenty to do in the area and the owner (who lives very nearby) helpfully provides passes which allow free access to many of the local chairlifts in addition to other amenities.

We had an excellent stay. Only things that could have been better is that the main road is a bit noisy, but not too much and there were construction works across the road.Very kind hosts, we also could use passes for the area, including free lifts.Very content.

Cosy and comfortable stay
5.0 / 10.0·Jun 2016
The chalet is very nice and clean. Everything you need is there. We were with 4 adults and two small children, even for more persons are beds availible. Richard and Angela are very kind and hospital and will help you with everything, also the neighbour will help you. Very close is a big supermarket were you can buy everything. Also fuelstation next to the supermarket. In the village are good restaurants, you need to make a reservation for your visit. From this place you can easily visit Geneve, Annecy, Yvoire, Lausanne, Montreux, Chamonix and other more nice places. We recommend Yvoire and Cailler chocolat in Broc and Gruyeres.
