The chalet was wonderful, beautifully finished and had everything we needed. It is also close to the town but is very peaceful and with amazing views. We couldn't have wanted for any more. The property managers were super helpful, I would definitely recommend this place.
Lovely chalet within easy walking distance of town and transportation. Four bedrooms and bathrooms means everyone has private space. The large open-concept main floor allowed plenty of room to cook, eat and relax. The hot tub was lovely after long hikes, and the view is incredible. Would definitely return.
We had a nice winter vacation 2024 despite several rainy days beginning of January.
Good warm chalet, in reality is better than on photos with perfect hot tub with mountain view
Really is the perfect place in Chamonix. A short walk to town and easy driving to the various resorts in the Valley. Stunning views from both the front and back of the house. Plenty of space for our family and all the amenities youâd want. Highly recommend!
Place looks pretty great, not terribly far from shopping, food, and drink. Main negatives are lower level (where bedrooms are located) is very very warm, need to keep windows cracked to be comfortable. Hot tub temp drops fairly fast when in use. Otherwise property is as described...we would stay there again, thanks
Exactly as listed. Fantastic space. Incredibly helpful host and mgmt company. The main part of city center is a solid half mile/.80km walk. The nearest bus stop is just as far (we couldn't locate a walkway that someone else had mentioned in a review). Our group walked everywhere, so it made no difference to us. I looked at properties that were further out and I'm SO glad I chose this one. It was absolutely perfect. The hot tub was a wonderful end of evening treat after a day on the trails or walking the city all day. The Mont Blanc view is simply amazing and the Le Brevent views from the yard are equally as wonderful.
Le chalet est trÚs beau et propre, le positionnement, pas loin du centre-ville, est parfait et la vue sur le Mont Blanc est superbe.Petit plus: le jardin avec la jacuzzi Bref: une super vacances. On va sûrement revenir !!
Awesome is an overused expression but not in this case. Chalet itself was just excellent and together with the view was amazing.
Only very minor thing was the front door was very temperamental.. maybe needs attention. Otherwise just perfect.
The property was exactly as listed. Friendly management, clean, well-stocked with flatware/cookware/etc., and easy walk to everything in town. Would recommend for friends, families, etc. Beautiful area with great views!
Fantastic property very close to downtown Chamonix. Lots of space, very comfortable, wonderfully decorated, incredible view, just a few minutes' walk from the main street of shops. The host and property manager were great to work with. Highly recommend!
We spent 6 nights in the chalet and loved every minute. All dealings with the management company were perfect and we had a lovely welcome and tour of the place from Chris. The property is beautiful inside with everything you could possibly want included. We never tired of the beautiful views from the living room and from the fantastic hot tub! This was a treat for my husbands 50th and we agreed it was the best accomodation we have ever stayed in!
Chalet Pickles was the perfect choice for our family Christmas this year. It is very well situated , only five to 10 mins approx to cafes, shops and restaurants in Chamonix. The kitchen is really well equipped and the seating area is lovely and warm with the most spectacular vista of the snowy mountain scenery from the large picture window. . We loved the cosy stove fire for which there was a plentiful supply of wood . Kate the chalet owner very kindly had provided a twinkly Christmas tree and some fairy lights which added to the festive feel in the chalet. The hot tub was very welcome on a couple of afternoons after spending time on the ski slopes!. All very spotless and clean. Chris from Apex Management was extremely helpful during our stay and always on hand to answer any queries. . Delivery to the door of skis and ski gear was a lovely touch with a good discount on ski passes We were hugely appreciative of Kateâs very generous and kind offer of an extension to their stay in the chalet to two family members who unfortunately fell ill with the virus after Christmas. We would love to return again on another winter occasion to this gorgeous chalet . If you are a family of up to 8 people this is the perfect spot to choose in Chamonix for your holiday.

A group of 8 adults had an incredible stay at this Chalet. The pictures online do not do it justice as the views of Mont Blanc from the Chalet, are spectacular. Nice and close to everything and the Management Company were great to deal with. Thank you for having us and we will hopefully be back in the future!
We spent a week at the chalet and it was our home base to explore a number of the ski areas in the Chamonix valley. The location was great for venturing out to other resorts, as well, it was close and walkable to town, and had private parking - the parking on Route de Pecles can be tight, so this is very important. The house was immaculate and was set up well for two couples - also, heated floors and heated towel bars in the bathrooms!! We all love that in the winter! The views from the chalet are pretty incredible - you can see Aguille du Midi and Mont Blanc from the living room. The kitchen is well appointed - for coffee drinkers, it has 2 french presses you can use. When we were there the kitchen had basic spices, olive oil, sugar, and some breakfast tea. You'll likely want to purchase some additional pantry items if you plan to cook at the house. There is a nice speaker on the top floor you can bluetooth your phone to for music on the top floor, but if you want music out by the hot tub, bring a little portable speaker with you. The only thing that could be improved here is the towel situation. We had to request more (which we received without problem) but originally were given 1 towel per person. If you intend to use the hot tub, that's just not nearly enough. Also, the toilet paper supply was limited, and there were no tissues. You'll need to buy both at the store if you are staying for a week. Washer and dryer worked well and there is plenty of space to hang items you don't like to put in the dryer. Overall the this was a great place to stay for a week and would definitely rent again.
Well-equipped, cozy and spacious house, located within walking distance of the town center, and boasting a beautiful view of Mont Blanc. As a cherry on top, the house also has an awesome Jacuzzi and a fireplace.
We had a great stay at this lovely chalet. It was in a great location on route des Pecles, and there were amazing Mont Blanc views. The only downside was that some of the bedrooms directly overlooked the road so there could be occasional noise at night, but this did not detract from our stay. Thank you.
This was an incredible spot for a five day Active summer vacation but my husband, myself, and are 25 and 30-year-old sons and spouse. The view is amazing , and it is a 10 to 14 minute walk for every restaurant, Shop, Ski and hiking lift, and Train. Even though it is close to town and it very small road, you get tons of privacy in his backyard with Jacuzzi, picnic tables, umbrellas, lounge chairs, and a phenomenal view of Mount Blanc and glaciers. We hiked and rock climbed. As we didnât have a car, it was good to have the management company grocery shopping in advance for us. The house has all the cooking equipment and dishes etc you need, but no food and very little paper goods, or soap etc so you need to buy yourself. Lovely, great fun, great location, great view, and we would definitely come again.
We fell in love with Chalet Pickles, as we now call it, on a visit in 2012. This 200 year old "ferme" has been totally renovated from the original river stone walls and wooden frame upwards. When you are there you will hopefully be struck by the tranquillity of Les Pecles, the mountain house ambience of the chalet, and the incredible views up to the Mont Blanc Massif and the summit itself. You could spend a week simply going for walks along the valley from the house, and ambling into town. We hope you'll love it as much as we do! Please note that we always like to call our guests on the telephone before any payments are made to aid security and to answer any questions about your holiday. Look forward to hearing from you!

We wanted something for all year round. Chalet Pickles is removed from the noise and crowds of the Chamonix centre, but you can walk into town! The valley is vast and offers something for everyone.
Amazing views, a huge living, dining kitchen room of 100 metres looking up through beams and huge glass windows at the mountains. 200 year old vaulted beamed frame with the most peaceful ambience you could imagine. A jacuzzi in the garden behind the house with views north and south and complete privacy. A few minute's drive to the Aiguille de Midi to access the mountains, the Gaillands crags for rock climbing, or the Brevent, Flegere, Les Houches ski areas- not to mention the others. We're spoiling you!
