Winter season

During the winter Chalet D'Ile is run as a catered chalet. I run the chalet myself so plenty of excellent home cooking and flowing wine.

Chalet D'Ile is ideal for groups of friends and families. For those wanting to come and stay in smaller groups you will have the chance to meet new people, perhaps to ski with or party with or both.

SKIING.
Chamonix is famous for its skiing and the famous Vallée Blanche.
Chamonix has 5 main ski areas which gives you plenty of scope to explore the area depending on snow conditions and the weather.
Le Brévent and La Flégère is the closest ski area to the chalet, a 5 minute drive away. It is on the sunny side of the valley ideal for skiing in the chillier months at the start of the season. There are fantastic views from the top of Le Brévent. There is now a link between Le Brévent and La Flégère making it a much larger ski area.
Le Tour.
This is at the far end of the valley and is great for beginners with wide open nursery slopes. There is some tree lined skiing at the back of Le Tour where if visibility is poor this can be a good place to go.
Les Grands Montets is the place to go for steep terrain and moguls. Not ideal for beginners but if you want a challenge there is plenty here to test you.
L'Aiguille du Midi this is the start of the famous Vallée Blanche run. This is all off piste with fantastic glacial views. I would strongly recommend hiring a guide for the day trip to get the most out of your day and for your own safety.
