Description
New for 2022/23, Chalet Balmat is a stunning new build, which sets a benchmark in design for The Grand Massif. The interior is finished to an extremely high standard - with vintage design cues and a rustic mountain edge, Balmat seeks to provide the most authentic of alpine experiences with a full package of modern amenities. It is named after Jacques Balmat, the famous local mountain guide who completed the first successful ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786.
Situated 2km above the village of Morillon, just a few minutes drive from the ski lift connecting you to the entire Grand Massif domain, namely Samoens, Flaine and Sixt Fer-a-Cheval. This home provides you with a tranquil haven with incredible views, away from the hustle and bustle of the village below, yet close enough that guests can easily access restaurants, cafés and bars nearby.
This wonderful chalet comfortably sleeps 14 in beds and upon request, all rooms have the possibility of being set up as twin bedrooms or king-sized doubles. Five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and two of the smaller bedrooms share a well-proportioned shower room.

What Our Guests Say

Chalet Balmat is located above Morillon village and within a practical distance to the ski lift. The location is perfect for privacy and to enjoy an authentic mountain experience. It takes less than 10 minutes by car to reach the ‘Telecabine de Morillon’ lift connecting you to the Grand Massif ski domain in winter, which boasts some of the best skiing in the world. Suitable for all levels, there is over 275km of piste and 139 slopes to explore and plenty of off-piste for more advanced skiers. In the summer, this area is a hub for adventure sports such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing and paragliding.

A car is essential at this chalet. However for larger groups, or those with a scattered arrival time, you may additionally opt for a transfer service directly from Geneva Airport, which will take you directly to the chalet. We recommend contacting the chalet’s very own conciergerie, or if there is no availability, please contact Mountain Lifts or Go Massif.

For bookings between November – April, we recommend that you have a 4×4 or at the very least, snow chains in your car. The road is ploughed 2 – 3 times daily but it is always a good idea to arrive prepared for heavy snow conditions. if it snows heavily during the daytime. It is legal requirement in the French Alps to come equipped with snow chains that specifically fit you vehicle
