Large savoyard wooden chalet: a wonderful base for winter sports and all year round pleasure.
Stella Poesie is a beautiful chalet which sleeps a maximum twelve people in Richebourg. The Portes du Soleil which has 650 km of piste and incorporates 14 resorts including Chatel, Morgins, Les Gets, Torgon, Champery, Morzine and Avoriaz. It is a gift to down hill skiers and snowboarders alike from beginners to the most advanced. The area also offers cross-country skiing and the route can be accessed opposite the chalet; which is beautifully positioned opposite a nature reserve, dominated by a view of the summit of Mont du Grange.
We had a great holiday. The location was very handy to access skiing resorts in La Chapelle and ChĂątel. The chalet was great - spacious enough to accommodate our family of 12. The owners were also very responsive ahead of our stay which is always helpful.The only downside was the dishwasher had broken down and wasnât working when we arrived, which was unfortunate for a large group like ours.
Goede locatie, ongeveer 15 min rijden naar Pre la Joux om vanaf daar te skiën. Wij waren met 2 gezinnen, daar is dit chalet goed voor te gebruiken (gezamenlijk borrelen, maar apart koken en eten)
We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad. Super goede communicatie vooraf. We mochten tegen een kleine vergoeding een nacht eerder aankomen.
De route beschrijving was voor ons helaas vanaf een andere kant waardoor het wel even zoeken was in het donker. Maar binnenkomst was perfect.
Het verblijf was fijn. Bedden was smal en flink verend, dat was enorm wennen. Ook een douche die alleen vanuit de hand vast te houden was was wennen, of zijn alleen Nederlanders daar niet aan gewend.
Verder top! Goede voorzieningen, oven, veel koelkasten!!
Groeten de hele familie!
We had a lovely time in this chalet with 12 persons. Everything we needed was there. It is located perfectly close to the ski lift and the area is perfect to ski. The buss connections are good. The wheather was beautiful and the snow conditions were also good.

We are a married couple who love mountains and skiing and have explored the French Alps over many years. In 1997 we decided to buy an apartment in Chatel which we and our children enjoyed. When our children married and had families we needed larger accommodation so in 2003 we purchased a new chalet in Abondance. We enjoyed designing it! We made the lower floor a separate apartment for use by relatives and friends giving them independence with a kitchen but this also benefits our client guests where there are 2 families sharing or where parents accompany their families.
Extent and variety of pistes in Portes de Soleil. Availability of cross country skiing on opposite side of river to chalet. Fishing in local lakes and rivers. Buildings are of traditional design with no high rise apartment blocks. Ease of access by air and by road. Can alternate days in mountains with days by Lac Leman with its sailing, attractive promenades and towns such as Evian les Bains, Thonon les Bains and its Port de Rives, Montreux, and medieval floral Yvoire. Cycling on roads and on mountain bikes. Access to Switzerland and northern Italy. Musical festivals such as at Montreux and cultural events, art galleries and museums. Wide range of activities organised by tourist offices.
Chalet is in a cul de sac with only 5 chalets all with decent size gardens (ours being the largest), accessed from main road through the valley. Our chalet set back from road and is south facing so benefiting the balconies and large gated terrace (child friendly). Chalet in wider part of valley with views of Mont de Grange, a reserve so its environment is protected, and where deer are often seen coming down as far as the river. Bus stops at end of cul de sac. Chalet is in area where many properties are occupied all year, and not only in ski and summer season. Abondance is main market centre in valley and has medieval Abbey. Property has 2 kitchens so two families can be semi independent.
