TRADITIONAL CHALET FULL OF CHARACTER

AUTHENTIC CHARM AND BREATHTAKING MOUNTAIN VIEWS

Located in Valmeinier, just above the Les Mélèzes neighbourhood, this traditional chalet enjoys a peaceful and unspoilt setting, in an area mainly made up of individual chalets. Its privileged location offers exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, while providing easy access to the Galibier-Thabor ski area, thanks to the ski shuttle bus stop situated right outside the chalet.

With a total floor area of 152.96 m², including 115.30 m² of living space, this property stands out for its traditional stone architecture, authentic charm and Alpine character. Full of personality, the chalet has preserved its original character while benefiting from modern features that ensure everyday comfort.

Inside, the living areas are warm and thoughtfully arranged. The main living space features an open-plan kitchen, dining area and a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, creating a welcoming atmosphere, particularly during the winter months. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood in while showcasing the surrounding mountain scenery.

Extending from the living room, a spacious west-facing terrace provides a wonderful additional outdoor living space. Equipped with an electric retractable awning, it offers the perfect setting to enjoy the sunshine and breathtaking mountain views, with landscapes that change beautifully throughout the seasons.

The chalet also benefits from a large garden and a plot of land measuring 1,140 m²., set in a particularly peaceful natural environment, where it is not uncommon to spot passing wildlife.

Upstairs, the chalet offers two double bedrooms and two additional sleeping areas, all located on the upper floor. This layout provides a clear separation between living and sleeping spaces, making it ideal for welcoming family and friends.

In terms of technical features, the property benefits from double-glazed windows, electric underfloor heating on the main living level and a wood-burning stove. The roof, renovated in the early 2000s, remains in very good condition and is equipped with solar panels.
