Description
Stunning, stylish, yet oh so comfortable, you’ll feel right at home at Chalet Cannelle, a true gem of a luxury ski chalet.
Nestled in a peaceful hamlet close to the charming ski resort of Chatel, it’s hard to believe that this luxurious chalet was once a humble cow-shed – though there are clues dotted throughout, from cow-hide rugs to cowbells to bovine-inspired artwork!
Chalet Cannelle’s gorgeous open-plan living space, with its exposed beams and double-height ceiling, has a vast wall of glass doors and windows to take advantage of the breath-taking views over the Mont de Grange. Here you can sink into one of the huge comfy sofas of your luxury ski chalet beside the crackling log fire, with a mug of something warming. Or step outside where you’ll find your very own hot tub – just the thing for soothing those aching limbs after a long day on the slopes.
With six stylish and uniquely-themed bedrooms, Chalet Cannelle is the perfect home from home in Chatel.
Location

Dining
Food is a serious pleasure at Chalet Cannelle – you can tell by the many cookbooks and foodie magazines scattered around. Much of the exquisite food on offer at this luxury chalet is locally sourced or organically home-grown in the chalet’s gardens and cooked by your wonderful hosts, Andy and Lorraine.
You’ll breakfast like a king each day, with home-made granola and freshly baked croissants followed by the freshest of free-range eggs, cooked your way. The owners keep chickens, and your children are welcome to join them in collecting eggs for breakfast each morning.
On your return from a day on the slopes, you’ll be met with a wonderful afternoon tea complete with home-baked cakes and pastries.
Each perfect evening at your luxury ski chalet begins with aperitifs and canapés – served by the fire or on the balcony. Then on to dinner, which could be anything from contemporary French cuisine to an Italian extravaganza or a Thai banquet – almost everything is made from scratch here, from pasta to pastries, stocks to sorbets.
And with plenty of house wines, spirits, beers and soft drinks on tap, everyone can enjoy their favourite tipple whenever they wish.
Your hosts are also more than happy to accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free requirements you may have – just say the word.
