Large Savoyard Ski Chalet in the heart of the Portes du Soleil - Winter & Summer
Stella Poesie is a beautiful chalet sleeping up to twelve people in Richebourg, Abondance.
Spread across 3 floors, this chalet has been beautifully decorated with traditionally alpine influence, ensuring all guests feel at home.
On the ground floor is a large secure garage, washer and dryer through to a fully equiped appartment which has its own access and kitchen, along with living area, bedroom and bathroom.
Upstairs flows into an open living area with panoramic views of the mountain, extending to a large balcony wrapping around the chalet, perfect for diniing or taking in the views. The master bedroom with ensuite can also be found on this floor.
Upstairs has two large double bedrooms opening up to a second balcony, as well as a twin room with ensuite. There is also a large family style bathroom with an all imporatnt bath - perfect for soaking aching muscles after a long day on the slopes.
The heart of the chalet is undoubtedly the log fire, central to the main floor living area, giving a cosy warmth to your home away from home.
Stella Poesie enjoys easy acess to the incredible Portes du Soleil, which has 650 km of piste and incorporates 12 resorts including Chatel, Morgins, Les Gets, Torgon, Champery, Morzine and Avoriaz. It is a gift to down hill skiers and snowboarders alike from beginners to the most advanced. The area also offers cross-country skiing and the route can be accessed opposite the chalet; which is beautifully positioned opposite a nature reserve, dominated by a view of the summit of Mont du Grange.
Abondance and La Chappelle d'Abondance are only 3 minutes up/down the mountain, with the larger town of Chatel only a few minutes further.
Whether its thrill seeking skiing, a families first time on the slopes, alpimes walks or mountain biking, Stella Poesie is the perfect fit.
Travel - Geneva Aiport is only an 1.5 hours transfer. There are regular busues to Chatel/ Abondance. Once arrived, there is a bus stop at the end of the drive for acess to the slopes if not driving.

Great skiing holiday
We had a great holiday. The location was very handy to access skiing resorts in La Chapelle and Châtel. The chalet was great - spacious enough to accommodate our family of 12. The owners were also very responsive ahead of our stay which is always helpful.The only downside was the dishwasher had broken down and wasn’t working when we arrived, which was unfortunate for a large group like ours.

Heerlijk huis
Goede locatie, ongeveer 15 min rijden naar Pre la Joux om vanaf daar te skiën. Wij waren met 2 gezinnen, daar is dit chalet goed voor te gebruiken (gezamenlijk borrelen, maar apart koken en eten)

Vacances d hiver
Chalet très propre et accueillant.
Tr ès bien agencé et pensé pour des enfants en bas âge.
La situation géographique permet d avoir accès facilement aux différentes stations notamment la Chapelle d Abondance et Abondance.
À cause du manque de neige, nous sommes allés skier sur la Chapelle. C'est une petite station très familiale et à taille humaine.
Une très bonne semaine en famille.

Fijn verblijf
We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad. Super goede communicatie vooraf. We mochten tegen een kleine vergoeding een nacht eerder aankomen.
De route beschrijving was voor ons helaas vanaf een andere kant waardoor het wel even zoeken was in het donker. Maar binnenkomst was perfect.
Het verblijf was fijn. Bedden was smal en flink verend, dat was enorm wennen. Ook een douche die alleen vanuit de hand vast te houden was was wennen, of zijn alleen Nederlanders daar niet aan gewend.
Verder top! Goede voorzieningen, oven, veel koelkasten!!
Groeten de hele familie!
