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.
Set 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.
