About the home

This superb, newly built chalet apartment is situated in Les Carroz, France. Only an hour from Geneva, the Grand Massif ski area includes Flaine which boasts the best snow record of any non-glacial ski resort in the world.

The apartment has been finished to a very high specification with excellent use of timber and stone. The chalet has a very large grassed area to the front, ideal for sunbathing and relaxing surrounded by magnificent scenery. Situated in a peaceful location, the centre of the traditional village of Les Carroz is just a ten minute walk away where one can enjoy interesting shops, pleasant pavement cafes, and the weekly market. From the balcony of the apartment there are wonderful views of the ski slopes, the surrounding mountains and forests, and the village of Les Carroz.

This bright, three-bedroomed apartment is located on the ground floor where you will also find a private ski locker. An excellent free shuttle bus (which stops on your doorstep) takes you to the new high speed telecabine and ski-lifts which are just minutes away. The ski bus stops outside the building at very regular intervals. This, coupled with the fact that the apartment is situated opposite the sports centre with its outdoor swimming pool and leisure complex, make this apartment an ideal location for a winter or summer break.

“Family-friendly holiday” Our family, consisting of 2 adults and 2 young children, enjoyed our week's stay at the Les Trappeurs in Les Carroz, France, last Summer. We flew into Geneva, Switzerland, and received excellent directions to Les Carroz. We found the chalet to be well maintained, comfortable and homely. Our children automatically felt at home. The village of Les Carroz was within an easy 10 minute walk. We found all conveniences in Les Carroz from grocery shopping to restaurants/bars and activities for children of all ages, including bike-riding, swimming, hiking, horse- riding etc. With informative maps and directions supplied in the chalet and by the village tourist bureau, we were able to take various day trips to Annecy, Swiss village of Le Chatelard and Lake Emosson and Charmonix-Mt.Blanc, all within reasonable distances - a plus with young children. The scenery and surrounds provided absolutely magnificent views. We would recommend this holiday rental to families who are seeking a relaxing, mountain getaway.

“Spacious, Clean And Good Location” This was our second visit to Chalet Des Trappeurs,choosen because we knew the high specification of MGM chalets. We were delighted with thethe size of the accommodation, the children each had their own roomsand not having to tidy awaw bedding each morning made the holiday much more plesant. The bunk room conaining two sets of bunks would have been very crowded had it been filled to maximum capacity. I liked the en suite shower in our room and although one toilet was adequate for the four of us perhaps not for 10 people? However for our needs the accommodation was excellent. The town is a 10 minute walk but the bus which stops outside the chalet runs from 7am and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the main lift station. The skiing was good despite it being the worst snow for years. We skied mainly in Flaine where all the runs were in excellent condition - luckily we had a little snow during the week. The slpoes were relatively uncrowded even though it was the the French holidays. Les Carroz is very quiet in the evenings but there are several restaurants where we enjoyed the local specialities. I think Les Carroz is good value and ideal for families.

We had a wonderful time staying in your chalet - thank you. Les Carroz is a lovely village and your apartment was extremely comfortable.
Les Carroz looks fabulous in Winter. Hopefully, next time we return it will be to ski!
Thanks again.

We had a wonderful stay at your apartment in March this year and simply loved the traditional town of Les Carroz.

The snow conditions were some of the best we've experienced and the skiing was so vast we didn't managed to cover the entire area during our stay. Having children, the free bus stop being right outside the apartment helped enormously and we were on the slopes within minutes every day.

Very comfortable apartment and extremely convenient to the centre with some wonderful shops, bars and restaurants.

We will be back to cover the remainder of the ski areas.
Thank you,
Richard and Kirsty

August 2008
We had an amazing time in August. This was our first summer mountain break and we will certainly be back. The activities were amazing and simply loved sitting out on the balcony taking in the view of an evening.

We will be recommending this apartment and village to our friends.
Amanda, Mark and Thomas.
