Alpine Elephant - Chalet Henriette

Welcome to Alpine Elephant Accommodation. We provide high quality chalet accommodation for alpine activity holidays in the Grand Massif / Haute Giffre region of the French Alps. We are a small, independent business offering a first rate personal service for walking, skiing, climbing and wildlife spotting holidays, with specialist knowledge of this spectacular area.

 

We own Chalet Henriette, a beautiful, comfy, 200 year old converted Savoyard farmhouse with 5 ensuite bedrooms (sleeping 10-12) offering catered, self-catered or B&B accommodation. Chalet Henriette is set in a quiet village amidst spectacular limestone cliffs with beautiful views of forest and waterfalls. We are in the heart of the montains but are only a short transfer from Geneva of 1 hour 15 minutes.

 

Enjoy one of the most welcoming and homely French Alps chalets in a fantastic 'getting away from it all' location, with superb skiing and walking on the doorstep PLUS excellent access to historic Sixt Fer a Cheval and Samoens for their architecture, cultural activities, shops and restaurants.

Snow summary (Sunday 28th Feb 2010):
February has been a great month, remaining nice and cold, with good snow conditions throughout all the resorts in the Grand Massif. We've enjoyed the fine conditions on the local slopes of Sixt and impressive ice formations on the local waterfalls.
