Les Crosets chalet
The chalet
The chalet stands in the village of Les Crosets, at 1,670 m, in the Portes du Soleil ski area (Valais). From the living room, the dining room and the terrace, the view takes in the Dents du Midi and the slopes. Everything is on foot: in winter you put your skis on at the chalet and ski back to the door; in summer the hiking trails and the lift station are a few minutes away. The car stays in the garage for the week.
Built in solid wood and fully renovated with quality materials, the chalet is designed for two families or a group of friends, up to 12 people, with underfloor heating throughout.
Resting
Five bedrooms on two floors.
- On the first floor, the master bedroom, with mountain view and en-suite bathroom (walk-in shower, slate finishes). On the same landing, a separate office facing the peaks, handy for remote work or a quiet reading corner.
- On the second floor, under the beams, three double bedrooms: bedroom 2, at the back, is the quietest; bedrooms 3 and 4 face the panorama. They share a bathroom (bath, basin, toilet) and a shower room (shower, basin, toilet).
- The children's room: two single beds and a mezzanine with bunk beds, sleeping four.
In total: 4 double beds, 4 single beds, 3 bathrooms and 3 toilets.

The region
Les Crosets is an Alpine-pasture village in the commune of Val-d'Illiez, at the heart of the Portes du Soleil: twelve linked resorts across Switzerland and France, including Champéry, Morgins, Avoriaz and Châtel, one of the largest ski areas in the world.
In winter: skiing and snowboarding, ski touring, snowshoeing and sledging. In summer: hikes to mountain lakes and pastures, mountain and downhill biking on the open lifts. The Val-d'Illiez thermal baths are about ten minutes away; Champéry, with its shops and restaurants, just below; the Rhône valley (Monthey, Aigle) half an hour.
