Chalet Grande Corniche, Les Gets

Description

There are any number of chalets in the Alps that offer their guests exceptional luxury but considerably fewer that do it in real style. Chalet Grande Corniche is located in the superb family resort of Les Gets which is just an hour from Geneva. Built in the traditional stone and wood of the Savoyard, it combines rustic and contemporary giving it a warmth and elegance that make it the perfect mountain retreat.

Just ten minutes from the lifts, this luxury ski chalet sleeps up to twelve adults and three children in six en-suite bedrooms with TVs and stunning views across the Vallée de L’Arve and a bunk room. On a clear day you can also enjoy spectacular views across to Mont Blanc from the open plan dining and living area.

There is a cosy mazot known as the Petite Corniche located beside the main chalet which can sleep a further four guests and can be booked at an additional cost.

At the end of your day on the pistes, you can ease tired muscles in the glass sauna with its 180 degree views of the surrounding peaks, drink champagne in the sunken seating area, or relax under the stars in your outdoor hot tub. After being pampered in the wellness area, you and your guests will be invited for canapés and aperitifs before enjoying an evening meal prepared by your private chef.

Eating

Guests are treated to daily breakfast, and when you arrive back from a day on the slopes afternoon tea is laid out waiting for you. Champagne and canapés are then served before you sit down to a bespoke meal created by your private chef on five evenings, leaving you free to explore the eateries in Les Gets town on two evenings of the week.

Only the finest ingredients are used and wherever possible, local and seasonal produce, sourced from markets and farms.

Many excellent house wines are kept in stock in the cellar, but if you have any particular requests, however rare, let us know and we will liaise with the chalet team to try to track these down to have them ready for you when you arrive. Of course, there is always chilled champagne waiting for you and your guests.

Your dining experience is completely tailored to you and the chef will be delighted to discuss your requirements prior to your arrival. They can create a formal gastronomic experience with classic dishes with a twist, or perhaps you would prefer local specialities, or comfort food in front of the TV – they can do that too.

Kids

Les Gets is such an excellent family resort and Grande Corniche comes well equipped for children, with a full compliment of toys, sledges, Sky and Apple TV as well as a music system. There’s even a slide which conveniently connects the bar area to the wine cellar on the lower ground floor.

Outdoors, children will simply love the outdoor pool and what better way to spend an afternoon after a morning getting to grips with their skis.

A whole host of activities can also be arranged by chalet staff, from private ski lessons to husky sled rides and igloo experiences. The chauffeured is on standby throughout your stay, if you want to take them into the resort.

Whatever your children need to keep them happy, just let the chalet staff know. Delicious early suppers can be cooked just for them and cots and high chairs can be provided. English speaking nannies can be arranged for daily in-chalet childcare, or just in the evenings when you head out to explore the après ski of Les Gets.
