Holiday home - 6 persons - Chalet Des Sources, routes des layets - 1866 - La Forclaz

Chalet des Sources has been rennovated as a Ski and Summer retreat to keep as many of the original features and character as possible and also to bring the comfort of staying in this chalet up to the 21st century to include geothermic heating and our own water sources and wifi. Chalet des Sources, once a goat shed and Chalet, is now a 3 bedroom gem, with underfloor heating and a wood burning stove to keep you warm in winter and a lovely granite terrace to admire the ever changing views whilst listening to the swiss cow bells tinkle in the meadows around you. Walks up to Lac Chavonne along marked goat paths and into the small hamlet of La Forclaz for the weekly morning market a must, where authentic home-made wares and fresh bread & vegetables are sold over a class of local wine.
