Based under Mont Blanc in the quiet and pretty
village of Domancy, close to Chamonix valley, your hosts Dennis and
Gillian Trott offer very comfortable accommodation for all start dates
and at very competitive prices. The
chalet open from December to early November is ideally situated for
both flying and skiing.
Situated in a sunny position at 600m asl the
surrounding views are stunning: Mont Blanc and the Dome de Goutier (4800m) to
the right, Les Chaine de Aravis (2600m) to the left and the spectacular Fiz
Mountain (2650m) range out front. The large south facing garden at the rear is
quiet and private overlooking tranquil rolling hills.
The Chalet is just 15 minutes
walk from the local town of 'Le Fayet', where a number of restaurants and bars
are found. The main town in our valley is called 'Sallanches', a few minutes
drive away, and where numerous shops, bars and restaurants are found. Both Le
Fayet and
Sallanches are local and not tourist towns and offer quality food and
goods all at reasonable prices.
In winter we concentrate on skiing and skiers who also fly are welcome. Access is easy
even during periods of heavy snow and there is plenty of parking for those who
prefer to drive. The huge and local ski resorts of St Gervais, Megeve and
Les Contamines are just a few minutes away and have good ski conditions from
December to late March. Chamonix town centre is 20 minutes by road and from
there connecting with the five Chamonix ski areas is simple. More details for
the skiing can be found on our
Fly
& Ski page.
From spring onwards paragliding and hang gliding is our business and the chalet is surrounded by some
excellent flying sites. Chamonix is only 20 minutes away and lake Annecy a
little over an
hour.
The chalet built in traditional Savoyard style is spacious,
comfortable and has tasteful decorations. The in-house facilities include;
TV with a good selection of video'/DVD' films, CD music, board games, plenty of
reading matter and a lap-top for internet access, and free Wi-Fi is available for those who bring their own
computer.
On the main floor there are three twin or double bedrooms sleeping 6
persons. One room has en-suite facilities: the other two rooms have their own
facilities close by, including a shower room and a
bathroom.
On
the same floor there is a spacious dining/breakfast room and a large comfortable
lounge with soft sofas and a log fire: an ideal place to relax and discuss the
days activities. The main house opens up onto a large south facing covered
terrace and garden.
All linen, towels, hair dryers, UK power points for charging phones and
cameras are provided. Don't forget your camera TV/computer cables.
In the basement there is plenty of glider storage, including space for hang
gliders.
