Chalet Khione

Chalet Khione is a self-catered chalet in Chamonix, sleeping 16 in 7 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Vormaine 3 Ski Lift, is about 230m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a hot tub, a sauna and a fireplace. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 6 large doubles and 2 bunks, with 9 bathrooms.

We have not published a Christmas Snow Score for Chamonix yet — its altitude figures are still being verified, and the resort page says exactly which ones.

At 16 guests this is a whole-group chalet — two or three families, or the kind of Christmas where everybody comes. Pets are allowed, so the dog can come for Christmas too. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.

Chalet Khione is in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in the Chamonix area. The nearest lift listed is Vormaine 3 Ski Lift, about 230m away. The usual arrival airports for Chamonix are Geneva (GVA), Lyon (LYS). We do not publish transfer times, because they swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week.

Christmas week 2026 runs 19 Dec – 26 Dec 2026 — the Saturday-to-Saturday changeover most Alpine chalets work to, with Christmas Day falling mid-week.

We have not yet published a Christmas Snow Score for Chamonix. The Chamonix resort page shows how that is worked out and what Christmas in the village is actually like.
