Imagine.....the perfect ski and summer retreat in a perfectly stunning setting - Chalet La Cachette is a privately owned, luxuriously appointed ski and summer chalet nestling in a select spot on the south side of the spectacular Chamonix valley, in a Village of Coupeau, just five minutes from Les Houches.
Clients return to Chalet La Cachette year on year and enjoy everything on offer in the Chamonix area. The chalet boasts a fabulous patio hot tub with the most magnificent views of the Aiguille Du Midi & Mont Blanc Massif where you can soak your aching muscles after a day on the slopes, as well as a wonderful cedar sauna. There are an abundance of forest walks year-round right at the door step. It offers an ideal location during both winter and the summer seasons in Chamonix.

Other facilities
Whilst the chalet is marketed as an un-catered chalet many people also do take it catered. Our philosophy is a little different and when people do want catering we bring in a chef for the week to carry out breakfast and evening meals. This facility is not like any normal chalet dining, and offers a Gourmet menu together with the most fabulous cuisine. This experience can be taken either on a weekly basis or if preferred just for a couple of days. In addition to this we do offer a range of excellent quality French Wines, which can be purchased from us at the Chalet. You will have a chance to sample some of these wines on a free of charge basis on your arrival.
We can arrange a transfer from Geneva on your behalf with a local specialist company, which has given us an excellent service over the years. We also have reliable ski guides and instructors, which we use year after year. For further information on any of these services please contact us and we can give you the individual information.
