Overview
Chalet Lumiere brings together the best of both worlds with the seamless combination of Chalet Petit and Chalet Sandalwood – two distinct yet complementary chalets, offered exclusively as a single booking. Tucked into the heart of the French Alps, this unique arrangement provides ample space across two thoughtfully designed properties, comfortably accommodating larger groups or extended families. Together, the chalets offer a balance of charm and refinement, with Chalet Petit’s cosy, characterful interiors paired with the expansive, light-filled luxury of Chalet Sandalwood. From handcrafted furnishings to panoramic alpine views, every element has been curated with comfort and practicality in mind.
Across both chalets, guests can enjoy multiple open-plan living spaces, high-spec kitchens, a dedicated entertainment floor, and eight bedrooms – each offering a peaceful mountain retreat. With private gardens, sun-drenched terraces, a barrel sauna, and inviting lounge areas, Chalet Lumiere is ideally suited for those seeking a flexible yet stylish base in the Alps. Whether returning from the slopes, dining alfresco beneath the mountains, or relaxing by the fire with a drink in hand, the experience here is always one of understated luxury and quiet ease.
What you should know…
- Guests will need to move between the two via the outside paths, which may be less convenient in poor weather
- The smaller chalet(Chalet Petit), originally a garage, has some spatial quirks, including a sloped ceiling in the upstairs bathroom, which may be restrictive for taller guests
- While surrounded by nature, local shops and restaurants may require a short drive depending on the time of year

Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet LumiereSet against the spectacular backdrop of Mont Blanc, Les Houches is a picturesque alpine village offering year-round appeal just a short drive from Chamonix. This peaceful yet well-connected location delivers a balance of natural beauty and outdoor adventure, with sweeping mountain views and access to some of the region’s most iconic experiences. In winter, the local slopes are ideal for skiers of all levels, including the famous Kandahar World Cup downhill run. Come summer, the landscape transforms into a haven for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers, with scenic trails leading through forests, wildflower meadows, and rugged peaks.
Families and outdoor enthusiasts alike will find plenty to enjoy, from panoramic rides on the Bellevue cable car to wildlife encounters at Parc de Merlet. The Mont-Blanc Tramway offers an unforgettable ascent, while activities like paragliding and climbing cater to thrill-seekers. Les Houches is a serene and striking destination where mountain living meets authentic Alpine charm.

The Resort
Chamonix is often preceded by its own reputation. As one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, it has visitors travelling from all corners of the world to experience the epic runs year after year. The Chamonix town centre, also known as Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, is an endlessly inviting little city with enough going on to entertain skiers and non-skiers alike for weeks on end. For those travelling from the UK, it is fabulously easy to reach. You can drive straight from Calais by motorway and be set up in a gorgeous chalet in less than half a day.
The Chamonix Valley encompasses five main ski areas on four different mountains (with easy transfers in between). You can get yourself a single-resort lift pass or one that encompasses the whole valley. If you go with the latter option you’ll even have access to the Italian side of the valley in Courmayeur. The wider area encompasses 106 pistes at up to 3842m altitude and unparalleled off-piste runs.
Most of Chamonix’s ski areas are best suited to those who already feel at home on a pair of skis. Beginners definitely won’t get as much out of this valley as those who are comfortable tackling a black run. But that’s not saying Chamonix is unromantic by any means. There is incredible scenery for everyone to enjoy, from non-skiers to experts, and nature lovers will fall in love with the Chamonix in summer too. Ski season, however, often lasts until mid-March.
Once the skiing is over at the end of the day you’ll still find plenty to keep you occupied in town. There is an excellent selection of restaurants to choose from, ranging from Michelin starred fine dining to street food that will line your stomach for the après-ski (and rest assured there are dozens of great bars and clubs to choose from!)

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Lumière is an ideal choice for families, offering two separate yet complementary chalets that provide both space and flexibility. While the chalets are not internally connected, their close proximity allows larger families or multi-generational groups to stay together while still enjoying a sense of privacy. Each chalet features its own living areas and well-equipped kitchens, creating multiple zones for relaxation, play, and mealtimes. Twin bedrooms and open-plan lounges cater well to younger guests, while the variety of indoor and outdoor spaces ensures there’s something for every age. Children can enjoy secure private gardens and sunny terraces, safely enclosed and easily supervised, while older kids will appreciate the dedicated entertainment areas, including a games lounge with a pool table. With thoughtful layouts, family-friendly features, and a peaceful Alpine setting, Chalet Lumière offers a relaxed and practical base for unforgettable mountain holidays.
