Amazon Creek, Chamonix

Description

If you’re keen to feel the wow factor when you walk into a chalet, you won’t be disappointed with Amazon Creek. Hidden amongst the trees and surrounded by soft mounds of snow, it’s a postcard-perfect setting that just gets even better indoors.

The vast living area, dominated by chunky beams, leather sofas, funky zebra armchairs and a large sleigh coffee table, shouts Alpine chic from its wooden rafters.

Amazon Creek has not one but two hot tubs: one outside on the deck and another sunken Jacuzzi indoors in the luxury spa. There’s also a Hammam, sauna and massage room, so pampering is really the order of the day after skiing. We can arrange for a masseuse to come over too. There is also an outdoor swimming pool at the property, although this is available during summer rental only.

After dinner, you might like to cosy up in the private cinema with ice cream and a bottle of red, or if there’s a clash of opinions about which film to watch, there’s always the large plasma screen in the living area for a breakaway group.

All in all, you’re spoilt for choice at Amazon Creek – and that’s before you’ve even set foot on the mountain, or explored the lively town of Chamonix, a short drive away.

For large groups, Chalet Amazon Creek can also be rented alongside Chalet Baby Bear for parties up to 16, or both Chalet Baby Bear and Chalet Baloo for groups up to 26.

Eating

The dining area in chalet Amazon Creek is wonderful: right next to a wall of glass that opens out onto the terrace, you can enjoy the snowy mountain vista as you eat.

Wake up to tea or coffee in bed followed by a delicious breakfast to set you up for the day. Later, enjoy freshly baked cake when you return from the mountain.

While you’re enjoying a glass of Champagne on the balcony (or maybe in the hot tub), your chef will be working away in the professional kitchen next door, crafting a 5-star feast on five evenings. This can be completely tailored to your party, in whatever way you wish. Feel free to explore the wine cellar too, to choose a tipple to suit.

You’ll have two evenings a week to sample the local restaurants of Chamonix and your chalet host will be more than happy to make recommendations and bookings.

Alternatively, Chalet Amazon Creek can be offered on a self-catered basis, allowing you to set your own schedule and to explore the wonderful restaurants of Chamonix.

Kids

Kids won’t know where to start: in the outdoor hot tub near the snow, or the indoor Jacuzzi amongst the steam? Chilling out in the cinema room or jumping on the faux-Zebra skin sofas? Or perhaps the great outdoors will beckon: the gentle snow-banks immediately outside the chalet are perfect for a bit of safe bum-boarding, or building snowmen.

Amazon Creek’s living area is huge – so there’s plenty of space to play and burn off the last excess energy of the day before snuggling down into bed under a big furry throw with a matching hot water bottle.

You can eat with the kids, or if you’d prefer for your children to have high tea, your chef can rustle up something filling and nutritious at a time that suits you.

If you want to explore Chamonix town at night, we can arrange babysitters for you, as well as a private nanny during the day. Highchairs, cots and other baby items can all be arranged too – just let us know what you need at the time of booking.
