Contemporary chalet, close to centre of Chamonix

Chalet Oscar is a wonderful 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom chalet set up to ensure a fantastic holiday in the mountains. The property is just 5 minutes walk from the shops and restaurants of Chamonix and the world famous Aiguille du Midi lift station.

The Master bedroom is a fabulous loft space covering the whole upper floor with 360 degree view of the Chamonix Valley's famous summits. The chalet features a sauna as well as two separate living rooms and kitchens, creating a very flexible space.

Ideal for groups of up to 10, the chalet can sleep up to 14, using two sofa beds. Please enquire about groups of more than 10 adults.

Fantastic week in chamonix
Chalet Oscar is in a fantastic location central to town. We had a big group (6 adults and one infant) which works well in the layout of the chalet. It is only 8 mins walk to a great bakery, 2 minutes walk to a fantastic bar and about 10 minute into the centre of town. Access to activities was brilliant and we got free train passes from the tourist office which made for a great week when not much else was open. The chalet has a great layout with the ground floor being completely self contained (its own kitchen / living area). Only minor issue was the traffic noise if staying on the top floor of the chalet from early morning. Great host communication!

Lovely chalet
Can’t fault anything about the chalet. The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped; everything has been well thought through. We rented this as part of my partner’s 50th birthday celebrations with family joining us for some of the stay. They were all very impressed with the chalet, and although we had a full house it never felt crowded.

Great place for family.
This was a great house for our family of 7. Everything was just a few minutes walk or bus ride for us. Easy walk to access Monte Blanc Gondola. Also away from the noise of town center. Great views.

Chamonix spring getaway
Family of 5 in the springtime - plenty of room to spread out but still come together for meals and social time. The house is clean, modern, and well-appointed. Some of us really enjoyed the sauna after a day of hiking. Things to note - the house is on 3 levels. You can get a car near levels 1 and 2 for loading/unloading. The master is on the top level with a small winding staircase. The entrance for Aiguille du Midi is an easy 7-10 minute walk mostly downhill. You can watch the cable cars go up/down from the house. While there's a pizza restaurant close by, most of the main part of town is a 15-20 minute walk.

Excellent New Year's Skiing Trip
Weve just returned from an excellent family skiing holiday in Chamonix. The chalet made the holiday. It's been exquisitely renovated and decarated and is perfect for relaxing after a long day skiing. The boot dryer was an excellent addition. We can't fault our stay and are already looking into booking for next year. Thank you Grant for being an excellent host.
