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 either in private rooms or in a bunk room.
In the main hallway there are
self catering facilities: there is a fridge, microwave, kettle,
plates, cups and cutlery etc. The large local and well stocked supermarket is just 200m away.
The accommodation is available for all start dates at very competitive prices and a minimum booking of 3 nights is required.
Situated in a sunny position at 600m asl the surrounding views are stunning: Mont Blanc (4800m) and the Dome de Goutier 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
Allez Ski website.
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 7 persons. One room has en-suite facilities: the other two rooms have their own facilities close by, including a shower room and a bathroom.
O
n
the same floor there is 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.
