Recently renovated, Ferme du Rys is an 18th century farmhouse that has retains its history and natural beauty but is packed with luxuries and modern design. There are few properties in Chatel that can match this chalet for charm, character and alpine style.
Accommodating up to 8 adults and 5 children in five luxurious en-suite bedrooms, Ferme du Rys is the perfect mountain retreat for your friends and family. The spacious open plan living area is brimming with original features, most notably the original wooden beams, section of glass floor, log store, central board formed concrete plinth with 2-sided wood burner and stunning mountain views through the three huge sliding glass doors which take you onto a panoramic balcony.
On chilly afternoons after a morning spent on the slopes, there’s plenty to entertain everyone at Ferme du Rys from soaking in the outdoor hot tub, the spa area with sauna to the cinema room with a 65 inch OLED TV, surround sound, streaming channels and PlayStation 4. If you still have some energy after a day on the slopes, the games room with a pool table and table tennis is the place to be for apres-ski entertainment.
To ensure you sleep long and soundly, each bedroom is designed with comfort in mind, with puffy duvets and luxury bath products, because it’s as often the little things that make a big difference.
Here at Ferme du Rys, you might just have found your own little piece of heaven.
Ferme du Rys is located above the traditional alpine village of La Chapelle d’Abondance, approximately 10 minutes drive to Chatel.
The nearest ski lift, the Panthiaz telecabine, is located a few hundred metres on the main road below the chalet. Otherwise, it is an easy to drive to other ski lifts in Chatel and Pre La Joux.
The nearest airpot is Geneva which is approx. 1hr 40mins away.

For those wanting to self-cater, the chalet’s kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, whether you’re preparing simple breakfasts before hitting the slopes or lingering over a relaxed evening meal with family and friends.
If you prefer to be hosted and catered for during your holiday, the fully catered option is available to include daily breakfast and afternoon tea.
