About Rocalillie Lodge ...
A summer outdoor pool, a sumptuous cinema room, a hot tub and incredible views of Mont Blanc are just some of the features of this impressive chalet set in a large garden just outside St Gervais les Bains.
Situated on a quiet road, this three-storey chalet for 14 also offers seven spacious bedrooms, all with en suite showers and bathrooms and balconies.
The ski bus stops 400m away, but you'll need a car to make the most of your holiday at Rocalillie Lodge. If you're visiting in winter, you'll need snow chains, winter tyres or ideally a 4x4, but you'll be rewarded with great views and superb skiing in every direction.
For the ultimate in pampering, head to the thermal centre at St Gervais, where you can relax in the indoor and outdoor baths or enjoy a massage.
Whatever time of the year you visit, there's plenty to keep you busy in this beautiful area.
About the property ...
There is plenty of space for up to 14 guests at this large three-storey chalet, with seven elegant en suite bedrooms.
As you enter the house on the ground floor there's a ski room with a heated boot rack off to the right, and a large garage to the left. Before you is the stunning open plan living area. After a wonderful day in the mountains, the huge soft sofas are the perfect place to get together in front of the log-burning stove, or step out on to the pool terrace to catch the last of the sun, or maybe watch for shooting stars. Alternatively, you might prefer to relax in the hot tub.
The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to cook for a crowd, including a large hob, traditional ovens and a steam oven, a dishwasher, wine cooler and a boiling water tap. And with a large central island, there is plenty of room for several cooks to share the work. Enjoy your meal at the large dining table with views of the terrace and pool.
How about a film after dinner? There are three more huge sofas to sink into in the cinema room!
There's also a utility room on this floor with a washing machine and dryer.
You'll find five of the bedrooms on the first floor - they are all spacious doubles with doors to a balcony as well as seating, dressing areas and bathrooms with double sinks as well as a walk-in shower and a separate bath.
The final two bedrooms are up on the top floor, where the views are even better! These spacious rooms have sofas in front of sliding doors onto the balcony, large bathrooms with double sinks, freestanding baths and separate showers, and WCs.
All of the bedrooms have elegant lighting, televisions, soft carpets and top quality bed linen - you can't fail to get a great night's sleep!
About the area ...
Saint Gervais, nearby Combloux and Megève, are 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, ad Saisies. This area played host to the winter Olympics in 1992.
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 Les Vosnes. 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 Lac de Passy 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 treetop adventure course, pedalos and mini-golf as well as windsurfing, paddle boarding and fishing - it's a great family day out.
And at the end of an exhilarating day, return to soak in your private pool or hot tub at Rocalillie Lodge, enjoy the sunset from the terrace or get together on the cosy sofas and play your next mountain adventure.

The OVO Network Review
Rocalillie Lodge is a very spacious, detached chalet for up to 14 guests, with accommodation set over three floors. The property is set on a huge plot, with a wonderful garden edged by forests and meadows and a lovely pool terrace.
Set in a quiet road, the access is quite steep, so you'll need to make sure you have snow chains, snow tyres or are driving a 4x4 vehicle.
The pool is available to guests in summer season - there's also a hot tub on a separate terrace that you can enjoy all year round.
There's no shortage of space at the lodge - the huge living area is filled with light, thanks to the sliding doors to the terrace, and the oversized sofas are the perfect place to relax with your friends and family. We love the sleek modern kitchen, with great cooking facilities, as well as the large utility room with washing and drying facilities.
All the en suite bedrooms at Rocalillie Lodge have access to a balcony, as well as dressing areas and sofas, where you can curl up with a book if you want a bit of time to yourself. We really love the luxurious deep pile carpet, which add to the cosiness of the rooms.
The cinema room is one of the best we've seen - three huge sofas are set on tiered stages, so that everyone can watch in comfort and get a great view.
St Gervais is a great location for an Alpine holiday, and this chalet is a great base to enjoy it all, summer or winter.

From the owner
Daniel & Sarah
As a crazy family of six with such busy lives, we needed a sanctuary that brought equal amounts of adventure and comfort. From the thrills of the mountains to the warmth of the fire, there is something perfect for everyone of us here.
With the land set idyllically facing Mont Blanc and overlooking the valley we could not think of a better place to call home… well from home. Please sit back and enjoy everything Saint Gervais-les-Bains has to offer; we hope it brings you as much love and happiness as it has bought us.
All our love Dan, Sar and the girls x.

Guest reviews
“Charming getaway”
Nice house! All of the rooms are beautiful.
“Peaceful chalet with stunning views”
The chalet is beautiful and matches the description. Demmy (the manager) is lovely and responsive in case of any issues. The only downside is the need for a car to get bread in the morning or to move around. The place is beautiful and peaceful.
“Rocalillie Lodge is a truly beautiful house!”
We were a group of 11 adults and two children and it was very spacious and also had tons of amenities. The house has central heating so it stayed comfortably warm the whole time without the need of the fireplace (plenty of firewood is provided for the fireplace). The kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment for cooking and serving (even had 2 sets each of raclette and fondue). It was close to town and close to skiing. Really a perfect set-up for a vacation in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular during winter. We appreciated how modern it was, and how all the rooms had en suite bathrooms. Everyone in our group was impressed with the place and enjoyed their time. The property manager, Demmy, is super responsive and helpful and was gracious enough to walk us through the process of putting snow chains on our cars. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We can't speak highly enough about this place.
