    Traditional Ski Chalet with Stunning Views

    L'Abri du Giffre is situated in the hamlet of Le Brairet, 1.5 km north of Sixt Fer à Cheval. Access to local skiing is 1.5km from the chalet and access to the whole of the Grand Massif, which includes Samoens 1600, Les Carroz, Flaine, Morillon and Sixt; via a free ski bus from the village or a ten minute drive to the gondola at Samoens, where there is plenty of free parking.
    Sixt village has ski hire, a bakery, a mini supermarket, restaurants and bars.
    The chalet has five bedrooms on three floors - three double rooms, one with an additional single bed, one triple bedded room and one small double bedded room. Two contemporary bathrooms, a large lounge with wood burning stove, an open plan dining area, fully equipped modern kitchen, a mezzanine area and balcony with stunning views of the Alps. There is a large utility area with washing machine and storage for skis and boots. We have a selection of bikes for our guests use.
    The chalet has a garden to the rear of the property which backs out onto fields. There is a patio at the front of the property which benefits from lovely morning sun, so an ideal place to eat breakfast looking out at the sunning mountain views.
    The national park of Cirque Fer du à Cheval is at the end of the road. You can access this beautiful area from the chalet, with miles of fantastic walking. In the cirque you can horse ride, mountain climb and ice climb. There is white water rafting and access to the Via ferrata from the village.
    The ski du fond starts in the national park and the tracks pass at the back of the chalet. A chalet for all seasons.
    The town of Samoens is 5km away with an abundance of restaurants, bars, supermarkets, swimming pool and leisure activities. The village of Morillon has a swimming lake only 10 minutes away.
    Included in the rental price is bedlinen and towels. We provide our guests with logs for the wood burning stove, which heats the whole chalet.
    There is a barbecue for our guests use on beautiful summer evenings.
    The chalet has a television that can play DVD’s, it is not connected to French television or the internet. However we do supply an HDIM cable to enable guests to steam TV through a lap top

    A great family holiday
    A great place. In particular the kitchen and dining room were the best equipped that we have used for a long time. Looks like it is set up for the owners to use and so it has more equipment than usual. Lovely area that was new to us and look forward to going back.

    Beautiful house in a stunning location
    We had a lovely time at this property. We travelled as a family of 5 (children aged 7-12) in July. The house was beautiful (there's actually much more than is listed, e.g. in the kitchen and in the wide selection of games) and very comfortable. The area is stunning - just 2 km from the start of the Cirque Fer a Cheval walks. For running, there are nice routes from the house. The town of Sixt has nice bars and the Sherpa shop had everything we needed, including lovely cheese and meats. The children loved the activities in Morillon (obstacle courses, treetops climbing, lake swimming, jumping into an airbag). We also took the cable car and chair lift from Samoens. The luge ride at Chamonix was lots of fun! Carol and Gerry were very helpful and responsive throughout, and the instructions for finding and accessing the property were straightforward and clear. Something that may be useful to know - a lot of activity centres only take cash, not credit cards. We had a wonderful time, and would love to return!

    Beautiful Chalet in a perfect location
    We had a wonderful stay here over Christmas! The chalet is very easy to locate based on the instructions provided. It is in a beautiful location with views of the mountains and the river. A car is a necessity as it is a little way out of the village but everything you need is within a 5-10 minute drive. The chalet itself is beautiful, lots of space, between 6 of us, the mezzanine level is perfect for children giving them their own space. The chalet is fully equipped with all you need. We felt completely at home for our weeks stay. We explored the surrounding villages and attended the local events over the Christmas period which made it extra special. Skiing is readily available in Samoëns on the Grand Massif Express taking you to the top of the mountain for spectacular views, the kids enjoyed sledging and my husband the skiing - aimed mainly at beginnners but links to several ski areas. Carol and Gerry have been very approachable with any queries to help. Hopefully we will be returning again 😃
