Home description

The chalet is in a perfect location to access the Portes du Soleille ski area. and is only a short walk from the centre of Les Gets. Accommodation is arranged on three floors, with the main entrance to the Chalet on the middle floor. There is a spacious entrance hall with separate WC and large storage cupboard. This opens onto the main living area, which comprises a spacious open plan seating area arranged around a log-burning fireplace. Two sets of double doors open onto the large sun balcony, which runs round two sides of the chalet and provides beautiful views over the surrounding valley. The dining area will easily seat 10 around a large pine table and the kitchen area is fully equipped with built-in oven, hob, large fridge-freezer and dishwasher. There is also a microwave, toaster and all the equipment that you will need to make self-catering an easy option. The kitchen is separated from the dining area by a large breakfast bar with seating.

On the lower floor there are two double bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms (WC, wash hand basin, bath with overhead shower). Each room contains 2 single beds. There is also a separate games room, which has a TV/DVD, and a chest full of board games - perfect for the kids to crash out in. This room has a bed settee, which converts into two more single beds and has double doors leading onto a decking area which accesses our very own sledging run in the winter and a large, grassy terrace in the summer. The sauna is located off this room and has a separate shower cubicle adjacent to it. There is also a utility room on this floor equipped with a washer and tumble drier and has a large drying rack for wet ski clothes.
The upper floor of the chalet consists of two further double bedrooms, both with double beds and en-suite bathrooms, one of which has a Jacuzzi bath. These rooms have floor to ceiling windows, with doors opening onto a small balcony.

Externally, there is a large abri-voiture at the side of the chalet, where the ski-locker is located. This leads onto the balconies where there are tables and chairs and a BBQ for use in the summer.

Location
Chalet au Tisserand is situated in the pretty area of La Turche which is only a 10 minute walk from the centre of Les Gets. It is possible to ski back to the chalet, snow permitting, and the main ski area can be accessed via the La Turche draglift, which is only 200 metres from the chalet. It is also only a short ski run down to the new high-speed Perriere chairlift.
La Turche has a small number of traditional bars and hotels and there is also an excellent family-run sports shop offering ski/board hire in the winter and mountain bike hire in the summer.
During the high season it’s possible to purchase lift passes from the ticket office adjacent to the lift at La Turche, so the queues at the main office in the centre can be avoided.
The free ski bus stops close to the chalet and runs regularly throughout the day. It takes you to the village centre and continues on to the Chavanne area where a lot of ski lessons begin.


Ski Area
Les Gets offers skiing terrain for all abilities. Close to the village, the runs are perfect for beginners and intermediates, whilst higher up on the 53 lifts linked with Morzine and into the Portes du Soleil, there is huge scope for the more experienced. There is also the smaller Mont Chery, which offers some great long runs and excellent moguls.

The Portes de Soleil system offers one pass which covers all 12 connected resorts and offers a tremendous range of skiing. There are over 230 lifts and 650km of marked pistes. Even with an early start, there is such a wide choice of runs that there is no need to ski the same slope twice.

There are organised activities each week during the seasons and there are plenty of apres-ski activities in the winter, including ice-skating, tobogganing, ski-do rides. During the summer the lifts are open and there are endless walks and bike trails to be explored. There is also a fantastic swimming lake and forest activity course.

Guestbook

Fantastic chalet, with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. We'll be back again next year.

Chalet ideal, fab views, great location, had over a foot of snow on our second day. Able to ski back to the chalet door. Sledging and inner tubing at the back great fun.

Just spent two beautiful weeks at the chalet. Our first visit to the Alps in summer but there is so much to do that we'll definitely be back.
