Chalet Mont Brion, Abondance:

A beautiful traditionally-built chalet,
on a sunny slope with breathtaking views.

The chalet was architect-designed and built in 1996 as the primary residence for the present owners. It is therefore well suited to all-season occupation with very generous room sizes and high-quality fittings, but also with ease of maintenance and comfort.

Living space of 184 sqm
Total floor area 319 sqm
Land extending to 2400 sqm

Located at 1,080 metres altitude on the south-west facing slopes of the Mont de Grange (2,432 metres), the chalet benefits from its carefully chosen position in a quiet side valley with no through traffic, but with extensive open views of the surrounding pasture land and mountains.

Its location provides a very calm and secure environment. It is 2km from the centre of the renowned alpine village of Abondance, with its eleventh-century abbey and an excellent range of local businesses, including a delightful family ski area.

Although on a quiet road, snow clearing in winter is prompt and thorough.

The chalet is some 75 minutes by car from Geneva airport, and 30 minutes from Lake Geneva and both the French and Swiss rail networks.

The chalet construction is of traditional solid pine ?madriers? with a high level of insulation, on a full basement.

Heating for the main rooms is zoned underfloor electric, with electric radiators (which are rarely necessary) for the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms.

There is also a wood burning stove in the large living/dining room, which extends to 41 square metres. There are four double bedrooms, one of which is equipped as an office with high-speed broadband.

The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room with extensive wardrobes, and the bathroom has separate bath and shower. The principal bedroom has a ?cathedral? ceiling, 3.32 metres high at the apex, and was carefully designed to be symmetric, centred on the full-length window to fully appreciate the magnificent view. It also has a private balcony.

All upstairs bedrooms have extensive fitted wardrobes. In addition there is a family bathroom (again with separate bath and shower), and a separate cloakroom downstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped, and separate from the living areas. The chalet obtains excellent reception of all UK television and radio channels via Sky satellite (by subscription ? many channels free to air).

------------

For winter sports, access to the huge Portes du Soleil ski area is ten minutes drive away, and there is a free ski bus service from Abondance to la Chapelle and Châtel throughout the season. The Portes du Soleil offers 207 ski lifts, providing linked access to 14 resorts and around 50 different mountains in France and Switzerland.

Abondance is far more than a ski resort, however. An excellent network of footpaths provides walking, snowshoeing, ski touring, climbing and mountain biking throughout the year, between 900 and 2432 metres altitude. The rivers also provide water sports ? canoeing and rafting. Many of the ski lifts function in the summer to broaden the huge range of countryside accessible. There are many excellent restaurants in the area, from four-star hotels to mountain refuges.
