Chalet Javen

Chalet Javen is a self-catered chalet in Megève, sleeping 15 in 7 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Tour Ski Lift, is about 370m 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 earns its place. Beds: 4 doubles, 7 singles and 1 sofa bed, with 8 bathrooms.

Megève scores 27 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1113m. That makes it more dependent on the weather in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

At 15 guests this is a whole-group chalet — two or three families, or the kind of Christmas where everybody comes. 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. Pets are not allowed. 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.
