About this chalet rental
Our chalet (La Taniere or the Bears' Den), is a beautiful converted barn, comfortably sleeping eight to ten people. It is spacious enough if you want your own space, or want to socialise in the open plan living area. Each one of the four double bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom with a shower and toilet and the master bedroom has a nice big double sized bathtub. We also provide two mattresses to sleep two additional people. Please bear in mind these are not additional beds but good quality mattresses. The kitchen is fully equipped and even includes a fondue and a raclette set. All your linen is included in your rental.
We have two terraces, one at the back looking into the green or white snow and the front terrace with a huge table and benches. Peaceful places to sit and enjoy your surroundings or gaze at the stars at night.
Vallorcine is a tranquil location, with direct access to the busier Chamonix Valley by car or train. You have direct access to the beautiful skiing area of Tete de Balme / Le Tour and to the little skiing area of La Poya at the other end of Vallorcine. The télécabine to Balme is open in summer and winter. There are lots of opportunities for beautiful on-piste or off-piste skiing, ski mountaineering, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing in winter. In summer the area offers lots of beautiful walks and hikes, mountain biking, rock-climbing and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
From the chalet it is 4 minutes walk to the télécabine and the ski school. Beginners usually go to the La Poya area with a little shuttle which takes the children to and from la Poya for their lessons in just a few minutes drive. La Poya is a great little ski area with different runs ranging from blue to black. It is also just one station away by train. The télécabine takes you to the Balme / Le Tour ski area with lots of wide open blue and red slopes and one black slope as well as amazing off-piste skiing opportunities. If there is enough snow you can ski down to the chalet through the Forêt Verte.
The train station is 2 mins walk connecting to Chamonix and Switzerland. You can take a train to Les Praz, which is just a few minutes walk to the Flegere Telecabine to get you to the Flegere and Brevent skiing areas. Or you can go to Argentiere to reach the Grands Montets skiing area.
If you fancy eating out, the famous Café Comptoir is very close and there will be a new restaurant opening up at the station shortly. In addition you have a few restaurants close to la Poya ski are in Le Buet part of Vallorcine.
Whether you want cheese from the local farm, freshly baked bread or provisions for a day out, or a bottle of wine, these can be had a short walk away. In the summer, Vallorcine has a weekly market where you can buy locally grown vegetables.
The chalet is ideally situated as a rest stop close to the Tour du Mont-Blanc (TMB) or as base, next to the Vallorcine Aid Station, if watching or participating in the Ultra-Trail Mount Blanc (UTMB).

Accueil très chaleureux d'Annette la propriétaire, tout est fait pour qu'on se sente bien et qu'on profite au maximum des vacances. Nous qui aimons cuisiner avons trouvé tout ce qu'il faut, c'est très bien équipé, vraiment. Le chalet est grand, les chambres sont de taille raisonnable avec chacune une salle de bain. Nous étions 6 adultes et 3 petits et chacun pouvait avoir son rythme et son espace. Je recommande à 100% cette location.
