I went to chalet choucard with 8 friends to have some quality time in the French alps and Vincents' chalet was very well located for that kind of vacation: On the one hand closely situated to the Lac Leman with its numerous bathing opportunities; on the other hand with an extraordinary mountain scenery like the range of Les Cornettes des Bises, Le lac des plagnes or the roughly exposed peak of Mont Billiat. Only backdrop for a hiking purist like me has been that some villages like Chatel have specialised catering skiing tourism, but influence of skiing is rather soft and the vast majority of the valleys have still preserved their natural beauty so skiing seems to be more sustainable there than in other regions of the Alpes.
The chalet itself is also very nice: It has everything you need, is clean, super cosy, bright and well maintained. The contact with Vincent and Amandine was very pleasant; probably you'd have contact by phone and mail with them and they respond quickly. They are easygoing, speak English and help you with any question.
In total, absolutely recomendable!
My partners family, their dog and I (6 persons in total) spent 10 days over Christmas and New Year 22/23 at the super cozy chalet choucard. We were immediately in love with the warm atmosphere the house had. There is plenty of space and with 8 people you still do have enough space around the table. The kitchen is equipped with just nearly everything you need. Vincent and is wife Amandine were always here for us whenever we had questions. This made our stay perfect. Walking up the 30 meters from the parking space to the chalet with luggage was a bit of a struggle for the older members of the family but apart of that everything was managable. We sat every evening in front the cheminee, played games and drank redwine. I can only recommend this beautiful place to everyone who appreciates to have some peace and enjoy a bit of a romantic atmosphere. In order to do a bigger grocery shopping, we can recommend Carrefour Express at Saint Jean dâAulps (15 minutes commute). Due to bad snow conditions we went skiing at Chatel (30 minutes car commute) but I think if there is enough snow, the next closer skiing area is Roc dâEnfer or les Gets. In order to do some sight seeing and visit nice restaurants, Morzine, Chapelle dâAbondance and Chatel could be something interesting. Wishing everone who decides at this chalet a peaceful and relaxing stay. Donât forget as well to be gentle hyperactive âCoucouâ! :-) Thanks again from Norbert, Gudrun, Brigitte, Joshi the dog (from Germany) and Christoph, Thorsten, Gabriela (living in Switzerland)
Although we were a larger group than expected, we were comfortabely accomodated in this very well situated house. There was a table extension available, as well as additionall sleeping space. The kitchen was very well equipped. We were especially happy about the very large pot. We spent a lot of lovely evenings on the couches around the fireplace. Luckily it snowed during our stay, so we were able to do some scenic hikes straight from the house which is only a half an hour drive away from the Avoriaz ski area.
Erg genoten 2 weken in augustus mooie locatie vriendelijke behulpzame eigenaren .
Rustige locatie weg bovenlangs heb je weinig last van (zomers dan) knus en gezellig chalet met genoeg ruimte.
Kortom fijne plek om te verblijven
Wij hebben een fijne ervaring gehad in het huis. Het ziet er gezellig uit met fijne bedden. Een complete keuken en een gezellige openhaard. De badkamers zijn netjes, dus niks op aan te merken.
We had a nice welcome gift (wine and marmelade) and the wooden house felt immediatly as home It is a nice warm living room - nice fireplace and a kuckoo clock (in fact several) . It is huge downstairs there are bedrooms and a seperate bathroom (modern) and upstairs are another three bedrooms all nice and cosy . There is excellent WIFI - supermarket 20 min by car - great walking area's and a beautiful view .... There is nothing bad to say about this place - it is a winner .
