Chalet Ourson in winter: a larch mazot with a snow-covered roof and wooden balconies above a dry-stone wall Chalet Ours: a two-storey chalet with wooden balconies, a lawn and wooded mountains behind

Chalet Ourson & Chalet Ours

A hideaway for two on the hillside and a family chalet in the valley, in Verchaix in the French Alps.

See the chalets

Verchaix is a small village on the sunny side of the Haut-Giffre valley in Haute-Savoie. In winter, the Grand Massif ski area is on the doorstep. In summer, the valley is full of walking trails, lakes and waterfalls, with a wide range of activities: hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, via ferrata, rafting, caving, horse riding and tennis.

The two chalets suit very different trips. Chalet Ourson is a quiet place for two, up the hillside at 950 metres. Chalet Ours is a family and group chalet for up to 11, down in the valley a short walk from Lac Bleu. Both are run by Chrystèle, and you can book them here directly with her or through Airbnb.
