Description
Free breakfast, free bike hire, free hot tub. Chalet Les Frenes is located in the tranquil hamlet of Les Bossons in the Chamonix valley. Set in a huge plot the chalet is surrounded by towering ash trees (frênes) at the front and fruit trees at the back. The chalet benefits from a very peaceful location in the corner of an alpine meadow, surrounded by alpine forests and glacial streams – a truly relaxing spot. With an unbeatable south facing panorama, the balcony looks up at the Les Bossons and Taconnaz glaciers, the Aiguille du Midi and the entire Chamonix massif.
Ski room entrance is on the ground floor. Ski room leads through a door into a corridor off which are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bedrooms are roomy twins and 2 are south facing. The Ski room has stairs leading up to the first floor where we have 2 bedrooms, the owner’s kitchen, and breakfast area with exposed wooden beams, a bathroom and a toilet.
One bedroom is a good sized south facing double with double doors out onto the balcony. The other bedroom is a good sized twin.

Loved the 'homeliness' and that I had a bedroom and bathroom to myself (mainly as it was off-season). The breakie was great.
Also that it was in a quiet location out of the centre of Chamonix. Yes it was a bit out of town, but I was well aware of that and liked it.

They let us borrow bikes for free to get into town. Without that, we wouldn't have had nearly as good a time as we did. Also, there is a big friendly dog, Pepper, and the neighbors have a very friendly little cat. The owner and his girlfriend both speak English as a first language, and are happy to help you out with anything reasonable.

This was a nice little chalet which offered good value for money. Not so great for socializing as the lounge is for the owner only during the evenings, however the owner (and his stand in as he was away most of the time we stayed) was extremely friendly and helpful and offered us the use of his bike to get to and from town. Breakfast was very nice. Overall no complaints whatsoever.

We enjoyed our stay very much here, there is a lot to see and the down town is not really far away, the hosts were very helpfull and of course if we were to return we would stay here again. i recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great vue and a great means to get into all the intresting spots in the Chamonix Valley.

The hostel was really chilled - and the owner was ace too. It was a quick bus ride from the centre of chamonix and really easy to get to the slopes. Although there are no cooking facilities (other than a kettle) there is a really nice restuarant just about 1km walk away. Rooms were as nice as most chalets I've been to. Overall great value for money.

hostel very good on whole, v. clean & comfortable. the main reason why i'd not recomend is the distance to walk to bus with ski gear.

A fantasic place to stay, phil fiona and gomez (doggy)are all great fun.
Phil and fiona have loads of advice for you as a visitor to the area.
The location is fantastic out of the main town to make you really feel like you are getting away from it all, with fantastic views. bus service into town.
Would also recommend a car for skiing to make life easier, we took our and you can get everywhere easy.
clean rooms hot showers and towels provided. Will for sure be back.....
