Transportation
By far the easiest way to arrive is by driving from UK or hiring a car at Geneva airport. Your own car (or cars) is essential at the chalet, depending on numbers. Lifts are between 10-15 minutes drive, the nearest supermarket is 10 minutes and although the free bus does stop in the village it is infrequent and an uphill hike on the way back from the stop.

Children are more than welcome and we can provide high chairs although no baby cots. Worth noting the stairs do not have safety guards and there is an open fire.

There is a minimum stay of 4 nights, BUT for certain weeks of the year (Christmas, New Year, and February half term) there is a minimum booking of 7 nights and specific arrival or departure days. Outside of those dates you can arrive/leave on any day which sometimes helps to beat the queues at Geneva airport
