Snow or no snow, for family ski-ing or recharging parental batteries, this chalet is a spectacular mountain chalet in the breathtaking Grand Massif of the Haute Savoie Alps, available on an exclusive, fully catered basis or by the room as a boutique B&B. Samoëns a magnet for skiers and boarders but the incredible house itself and stunning Alpine scenery make Sky Chalet the ultimate antidote to the daily grind all year round. Plus, the nanny on request and easy 1 hour transfer time from Geneva Airport adds to the ease of a family break.
After a winter running a ski chalet in Chamonix, Andrew and Su (owners) scoured the French Alps to find the perfect setting to start a new life and fell in love with Sky Chalet. Leaving behind hectic lives in the UK, their mission was to create somewhere to where worries and stresses melt away while being pampered in the lap of luxury and the result is a fabulous retreat for frazzled parents, families and good friends!
The couple have transformed the 350-year old Savoyard Barn with a savvy blend of traditional and modern styling. The exposed beams give it soul, whilst the sleek glass and stainless steel finishes give it contemporary gloss. The heart of the home is a stunning two-storey open plan living dining area, with floor to ceiling windows to gaze on the magnificent peaks and, although wonderfully spacious, the roaring fire and big squashy sofas ensure a comfy and cosy place to relax and enjoy time together. When youngsters need a distraction, there's a separate snug with state of the art home entertainment including a huge plasma TV, Sky, Xbox 3, Wi Fi and DVD library, plus each bedroom has Sky TV, DVD and CD players, an Ipod dock and Wi Fi.
Spread over 3 floors, Sky Chalet has plenty of room for up to 18 guests, featuring 5 generously proportioned bedroom suites and a family suite. Each one is individually and tastefully styled, with an indulgent spa-style en-suite bathroom, complete with walk in rain shower, Molton Brown toiletries, fluffy towels and robes. For après ski or simply après toddler (!), the sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi and pool are just the thing. Plus a revitalising massage or reflexology treatment can be arranged in guest's rooms, plus a nanny can be arranged on request throughout the ski season to guarantee relaxation. Outside, a wide enclosed balcony is a fabulous spot for admiring the views and the chalet also has a 150²m lawned garden, not forgetting the winter wonderland of snow fun and flower strewn spring meadows on the doorstep.
Su and Andrew believe that no one should have to worry about the cooking, so the catering is exceptional. From hearty breakfasts and home baked cakes for afternoon tea, to Champagne and canapés followed by superb three course feasts and varied children's menus, it's well worth working up an appetite!

Location Information
Unlike some Alpine destinations, getting to Sky Chalet is a breeze, with Samoëns just an hour's drive from Geneva airport on easy to navigate roads. The picturesque village is located close to the Grand Massif ski slopes, with spectacular views of mighty Mont Blanc and the Giffre Valley from the chalet. There are numerous bars and restaurants to choose from and the owners will happily provide recommendations to suit ever taste
The winter sports are an obvious attraction, with over 265km of easily accessible pistes, a reliable record for snow and pleasantly milder temperatures. Private transfers are available to and from the Grand Massif Express gondola but with youngsters in tow, there's also endless fun to be had building snow men in the garden, going ice skating and taking a sleigh ride in the village, taking the chalet's snow sleds to the children's toboggan run and going on a dog sled or snow mobile adventure.
For summer holidays, Sky Chalet has a whole new appeal, surrounding by the lush flower strewn Alpine meadows, with chalet balconies festooned in colourful blooms and piercing blue sky days regularly hitting temperatures into the 30's. The spectacular scenery makes the hiking second to none and a pack donkey can even be arranged to carry the picnic! There are waterslides at the local swimming pool, tours of the village on the SeptiTrain and nearby IndianaParc features high and low rope adventure courses for all ages.
Day trips which are only an hour's drive from Sky Chalet include Annecy, known as The Venice of France, the medieval village of Yvoire on Lake Geneva and the bustling Alpine resort of Chamonix at the foot of Mont Blanc.

Colette SintonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to have Vicki's expertise and support in finding our family holiday in Zakynthos this summer. After finding out exactly what we hoped for and needed, Vicki was able to find our perfect holiday - we were so looking forward to it and couldn't have been more delighted. Vicki's communication was informative and proactive throughout - our happiness with the arrangements was of the utmost importance to her and I felt I could get in touch with any queries. These were addressed swiftly and efficiently. I really felt like she went the extra mile in helping us plan our holiday and ensuring we were comfortable with all aspects. Highly recommend!! MAGGIE OAKLANDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used baby friendly bolt holes to book a trip to Portugal. Tori was really helpful in helping us book, manage transfers, etc. On our departure day we had unexpected passport issues - Tori was straight on to the hotel and arranged for us to stay a couple of days later than planned. She was brilliant and really diffused the stress of a heart sink situation. Would definitely book with these guys again. Hannah RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since our daughter was born 2.5 years ago, we have booked every single trip away with BFB. We have never been disappointed, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to holidays! They respond so quickly to every query and have got us some great deals. I trust them fully with what are such crucial decisions about our much needed holidays and recommend them to every parent I know! I would be lost without them! Tom DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The matching service was really useful Chris ReddingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I submitted some basic details on their form on a Sunday evening and Tori got back to me the next day. We exchanged several emails and spoke on the phone. Tori was well informed, responsive and thorough. I was able to book a place that looks great with her help. It was great to have help from someone who specialises in family holidays, as our requirements are pretty different now compared to before having kids. I don't actually think I've ever had a personal service to help book a holiday before. Maybe this is what it was like when people used to go to the travel agent on the high street... Thanks Tori and BFB, would recommend and use again. Jessica TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Baby Friendly Boltholes by doing a Google search, and completed their online form with my holiday requirements. They got back to me very quickly with some great recommendations which were also very cost effective. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we're unable to book at this time, but I will definitely go back to Baby Friendly Boltholes when we're in a position to move forward with our booking. Thanks! Joel DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really fast and easy, available on a Sunday to complete our booking. Highly recommended Samantha ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Juliet at babyboltholes enough, from our initial enquiry right through to booking, she was responsive, understanding and patient. I didn’t even know where to start booking our first family holiday, Juliet took onboard all our needs and found us our dream trip. 5 star service for busy parents!
