Chalet 1585

About the property ...

Chalet 1585 sleeps up to eight guests (six adults) in three spacious, en suite bedrooms, with accommodation across two floors.

You'll find the first bedroom on the ground floor - it's a family room with a large double bed and another smaller double bed on a mezzanine floor, accessed by a ladder. There's also an en suite shower room with WC.

There are two more bedrooms on the first floor, both with large double beds. One of these rooms has an en suite shower room with WC, while the other has an en suite bathroom with bath, shower and WC. There's also a delightful TV room on this floor, which overlooks the main living area.

The spacious open-plan living area has a cosy seating area, with a large sofa and chairs separated from the dining area by a central, three-sided fireplace, which keeps the whole space warm. Enjoy your diner at the table in front of sliding doors overlooking the garden and the pool, or in fine weather, fire up the barbecue and eat outside.

The full-equipped kitchen is partially separated from the rest of the living area, and has a central island with a breakfast bar, where you can grab a snack before heading out for the day. There's also a separate laundry room with a washing machine and dryer.

Chalet 1585 also has a sauna and shower on this floor, where you can relax after an exhilarating day in the mountains, and a basement ski room. The swimming pool is available from June to September, and has a retractable cover, so can be used in all weathers.

You'll need your car when you stay at Chalet 1585 (suitably equipped for winter driving) but there's plenty of parking outside the property.

About the area ...

Chalet 1585 is in a great location for those who love mountain sports, whatever their level - nearby Combloux, along with Megève, and Saint-Gervais, is part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, and it's a 30-minute drive to the Espace Diamant, which comprises Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Volant, Flumet, and Saisies. This area played host to the winter Olympics in 1992, so you can be sure of great facilities.

Experienced skiers looking for some stunning night skiing should head for the Vallée Blanche - do hire a guide for this 23km run which, with a 2,000m drop, will take you from the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace, an almost surreal experience under a full moon.

For a change from skiing, why not try dog-sledding or snow-shoe walking, which are both available within a short drive of Chalet 1585. For a little more adventure, why not try ice climbing, via ferrata or paragliding!

In the summer, the mountains become the domain of walkers and cyclists. There's so much to see in this varied landscape, explore the Argentière glacier or perhaps the Baroque footpath, a 20km trail from Combloux to Les Contamines-Montjoie which takes you past some of the area's finest baroque buildings. Look out for marmots along the way!

Fancy a swim? Head for the man-made ecological lake at Combloux, where you can relax in the pure waters fed by mountain streams surrounded by wildflowers and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Take a picnic and relax while the kids enjoy the great play area. There's also a sauna and a hammam, as well as a restaurant.

There is so much to discover in this area - you can get all the information you need from the Tourist Offices in Sallanches and Combloux. Check out the Mont Blanc Destination Pass for special offers and reduced or free entry to many of the area's attractions.
