Les Chalets Aquarelle

Les Chalets Aquarelle is a self-catered chalet in Chamonix, sleeping 10 in 9 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Grepon, is about 270m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a fireplace. A log fire on Christmas Eve is most of the reason people book a chalet over an apartment.

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.

Sleeping 10, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. 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. 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.

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.
