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 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 stream TV through a lap top.

The location of the chalet is great and there is more than enough space for seven people. The facilities are very good and the contact with the hosts went without any problems. We felt very comfortable the whole time.

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.

We are satisfied with our stay in this fully furnished house. Unfortunately ther was no snow at the house, but there was plenty of space around the house to play with small children. It was a bit of a drive to the slopes, but that was no problem. We had good contact with the owner and all questions were answered neatly and quickly. The owner was very helpfully. We had a very nice week. Thanks for all.

Carol is a great host and incredibly quick to react. The dishwasher broke down and she arranged a new one to be installed within a day. Impressive! The chalet is very nice, well maintained, well equipped and well located: central but still quiet. I think for 10 adults it might be a bit tight, but for 7-8 adults it’s ideal. I would definitely recommend this chalet if you like nature.

Nous avons passé une très chouette semaine à Sixt, le chalet est très agréable. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de supers vacances en famille (jeu de société, vaisselle suffisante, cuisine très bien équipée, literie confortable, poêle à bois...)Carol est une hôte très réactive, disponible par téléphone en cas de besoin. Je recommande...

Chalet situé à l'écart de Sixt (voiture indispensable), dans un environnement montagnard, avec de superbes vues sur les montagnes. Le chalet est très bien équipé, confortable, avec un espace de vie cuisine/salle à manger/salon très spacieux. En hiver, en plus des radiateurs, c'est un poêle qui permet d'assurer le chauffage principal.Les couchages sont répartis dans 5 chambres.Des jeux de société sont disponibles.Nous avons adoré notre séjour !

We had a great 2 week stay in the property. The property is well equipped and suitably spacious with great views in all directions. We essentially stayed in the valley for 2 weeks with loads of lovely walks and cycling very close by, or even from the front door. The pool in Samoens and Lac Blu were also hits with the kids, along with rafting and paragliding all close by. We would very happily return.

Verblijf was zeer goed! Maar, ik heb nog nooit zo'n vuile braadpannen en ovensleeën gezien. Niet te gebruiken! De vuile olie stond nog in de ovensleeën met aangebakken etensresten. De kookkommen passen niet op de roosters van het fornuis

Le gîte est très bien situé au calme avec beaucoup d'espace extérieur. Nous avons pu profiter de la terrasse ensoleillée derrière le chalet. Carol à toujours répondu à mes questions. La literie est confortable, le salon agréable et la vue magnifique.

Nous étions une famille de 10 personnes (6 adultes, 2 ados et 2 enfants). Nous avons passé une très belle semaine. Le chalet est parfait. Très bien agencé, très bien équipé (on ne manque de rien). Les chambres et la literie sont très confortables.Le chalet est à 10 minutes en voiture de Samoens et de sa télécabine vers Grand Massif. Pas beaucoup de réseau sur place mais du WiFi dans le logement !

Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in diesem sehr gut ausgestatteten und sauberen Ferienhaus. Der Kamin bescherte uns gemütliche (Spiele) Abende. Wer weiche Matratzen mag, wird sich freuen. Auch bei schlechteren Schneeverhältnissen werden in Samoëns noch (Ski)Lifte betrieben. Die Kommunikation mit den freundlichen Vermietern verlief perfekt.
