Alpine Elephant - Chalet Henriette

Welcome to Alpine Elephant Accommodation at Chalet Henriette - your ideal base for walking, skiing, climbing and wildlife spotting holidays in the Grand Massif / Haute Giffre region of the French Alps.

 

This is a gem of a location for alpine activity holidays which is only 1 hour 15 minutes transfer from Geneva.

 

Chalet Henriette is a beautifuly converted 200 year old farmhouse on the edge of a traditional village set amidst spectacular limestone cliffs, forests and waterfalls. With 5 ensuite bedrooms (sleeping 10-12) we offer self-catered accommodation in the summer / autumn and both catered and self-catered accommodaiton in the winter ski season.

 

We are a small, independent outfit and offer a first rate personal service for your holidays, with specialist knowledge of this spectacular area. As owners we take pride in helping you enjoy your holiday; we are not 'corporate' and the style is friendly and personal.

 

If you love a homely, authentic location, with superb access to masses of summer and winter activities this may be the chalet for you!

 

"A home from home.." and "Like staying with friends.." are typical Guest comments. Click here for more!

Bearded Vulture update (15th May 2010):
The youngster has been seen on the nest and so far all seems to be going well.

 

Last year the young vultures debut flight was at the very end of July, so there's plenty of opportunity to stay at Chalet Henriette (self-catering) and enjoy unrivalled viewing of these magnificient birds from the comfort of our very own balconies! (A truly unique opportunity to view a Bearded Vulture nest from the comfort of a chalet balcony!).
