Ski Chalet Mont Blanc

Ski Chalet Montblanc is a lovingly restored old farmhouse sitting above the historic resort of St Gervais within the Mont Blanc region of the French Alps. The 17th Century building has been brought bang up to date by Ed and his wife, Anna, who own and manage the property. There are six en-suite luxury bedrooms, underfloor heating and Wi-Fi throughout as well as the modern convenience of Sonos sound combined with Spotify for a virtually endless music playlist. The chalet features a wonderful living room area with lots of comfortable sofas arranged in front of the large open fireplace as well as a separate TV area upstairs - useful of you have children in your party.

The sitting room has far reaching views of the Aravis, Fiz and Mont Blanc mountain ranges. The same mountain views can be enjoyed from the terrace gardens and the outdoor hot tub.

Guests can expect very high levels of in-chalet catering overseen by Anna who trained at both the Ashburton Chefs Academy in Devon and also Ballymaloe in County Cork, Ireland. Cooking formed a large part of her family upbringing, so after a career as a midwife it was only natural that she should return to the kitchen. While traditional alpine dinners are generally served in the evenings, Anna also loves cooking Middle Eastern food, taking inspiration from Ottolenghi. Either way her ingredients are locally sourced. You can expect dishes such as beetroot and apple soup with spiced seeds; Mediterranean salmon en-croute with tomato pesto sauce, lemon and olive oil mash; chicken shawarma with butternut squash & tahini, bulgar wheat; and passion fruit parfait with passion fruit ice cream and coconut caramel. Each three-course dinnner ends with cheese from the local Ferme des Roches Fleuries, a family-run farm. There's no doubt that all guests will be delighted with the quality and variety of the weekly menu.

Anna's husband, Ed, runs the maintenance of the chalet and also acts as on-call driver for guests and co-host. They have been living and running chalets in the Alps since 2008 and together they offer a very high level of guest service.

The Ski Chalet Montblanc is shown here with prices for a 7 night catered ski holiday. If you would like to book on a self-catered basis, or for a shorter period, please enquire for details.
