Winter: Our location within the ski areas
The new fast Flegere ski lift, accessing Brevent-Flegere (Chamonix’s largest and sunniest area) is a five to ten minute walk from the chalet, and the central position of the chalet is ideal for access to the other lift systems of Chamonix: Grands Montets, Le Tour and Les Houches.
