Hi All... We'd love to welcome you to Chalet Vert in the beautiful alpine village of St Gervais Les Bains, Mont Blanc. The chalet offers simple but comfortable accommodation for walkers, cyclists, flyers and all other mountain lovers - at a very reasonable price. We're perfectly situated for family breaks too, with an outdoor swimming complex, ice skating, crazy golf, tennis and mountain bike hire all less than 5 minutes away. We even have a couple of bikes that we're happy to lend to our guests. We have a lovely rural location, with lots of sheep, goats and cows to be heard from your window - but we are just a 10 minute walk from the centre of town if you fancy a shop / a coffee in the sun / a lovely restaurant meal / alpine bar, or even a friendly night-club with live music. The chalet backs onto Mont Blanc and is a perfect place to start exploring the beautiful mountainous countryside. The views (everywhere) are breathtaking so don't forget your camera. The lifts are open through the peak months for walkers, mountain bikers and ponters. For sun lovers - the temperature hovers around the 30 degree mark until October. Nights are chillier and a few days are lower than this, but it's generally pretty reliable. There are even 3 lakes a short distance away which are perfect for swimming and even have their own beaches! Myself (Alex) and Lynne host the chalet, and we offer you a friendly welcome, lots of advice, pack-lunches for a minimal charge, help with your French, an honesty bar/fridge for wine and beer, and the occasional barbecue. We also make every effort to reduce your holiday's carbon footprint wherever possible. Our strategies include recycling of almost all waste, composting, local food sourcing, energy efficiency within the chalet, real fire with renewable source of wood, home growing, and anything else we can think of to this end. All advice to help in this is appreciated. We are less than 1 hour away from Geneva, and St Gervais train station is directly accessible from Paris! We hope that you will join us in the mountains. We love it, and we're sure you will too. Drop me a mail or give us a call for more info.. alex@ski5d.com 0033 680503690
