This unassuming chalet remembers a time when skiing was primarily seen as a means of transportation in challenging mountain conditions, and its recreational version was just taking its first timid steps in France. Chalet 1864 is located right next to the famous Alpine slopes, where skiers from around the world sharpen their carving.

However, it’s not just the downhill runs that define this magical region. In winter, you can enjoy the charm of snowshoe trails and the crunch of snow underfoot. In summer, you can stroll through lush meadows, hopping from one viewpoint to another. Numerous paths invite you to climb, and via ferratas allow you to discover mountain peaks, where adrenaline mingles with awe over breathtaking views.

In the mountain valley of the Aravis massif, you'll be filled with stunning mountain vistas, fresh air, and local cheeses like Raclette, Reblochon, and Tomme de Savoie. You'll also find a place to unwind. After a day full of experiences, you can immerse yourself in a hot bath or a refreshing pool, indulge in a blissful massage, or perhaps curl up with a good book by the crackling fireplace.
