Home description
Chalet Olga is a recently built chalet designed to offer outstanding accommodation with every facility to ensure a memorable holiday winter or summer. From the heated outdoor swimming pool (8m x 4m) with contra-nage to the sunny patio with gas fired barbecue the owners have made every effort to understand the needs of discerning visitors.
With underfloor heating and an open log fire, winters are very cosy whilst in summer guests can choose to relax by the pool, on the patio or on a private balcony......... or luxuriate in the jacuzzi or sauna . For children we have a games room with miniature snooker, table tennis and magnetic darts........in addition to SKY TV and DVD player in the main lounge. New for 2008/9 is a Sony home cinema. For quieter moments we also have a small library with diverse subject matter. The owners deliver fresh bread and croissants each morning at 0800 hrs.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
Haute-Savoie contains many of the well known ski resorts and is attractive to holidaymakers due to its ease of access from the French motorway network and also its proximity to Geneva with its world wide air links. The climate is enviable with the clean air, magical winter landscape and generally long hot summers.
Few people realise that Savoie and Haute-Savoie only became part of France in 1860 whereby the ruler of Savoie became the first king of a united Italy by offering Savoie to France in exchange for French recognition of his claim.
Grand Massif / Samoens area
The Grand Massif is recognised as one of the loveliest ski regions in the Alps. Certainly not the largest, it still has an amazing variety of runs for skiers of all abilities. Samoens has swiftly become a well known resort since the introduction of the Grand Massif Express lift which quickly transports skiers from the village to the plateau at Samoens 1600 where the action starts.
In summer Samoens is a magnet for visitors...both holidaymakers and day trippers....due to its quaint mediaeval atmosphere in the carefully preserved village centre. In addition there are many leisure activities....riding, rafting, canoeing, hiking, cycling and...for the brave...paragliding. The Jaysinia botanical garden attracts tourists from afar with its 8000 plants from all over the world.
How to get there
Twenty British airports offer direct flights to Geneva and airlines include Easyjet, Jet2, Bmi Baby, ThomsonFly , Swiss and British Airways but some services are seasonal. All the major car hire companies are represented at Geneva and visitors are advised to pre-book online to avoid unnecessary delays on arriving by air. We advise that you book cars on the Swiss side of the airport as exit and access is easier than on the French side.
We frequently suggest Argus car hire who will search for the best deals available from the rental companies.
For clients who prefer to drive, most of our visitors use Dover-Calais/Boulogne and Speedferries generally offer the most competitive rates via Boulogne. Allow nine hours for the 545 miles of which 500 are motorways costing 65€. If stopping overnight, Reims is a convenient city where several budget hotel chains have sites.
