Petite Sassiere

The owners of this beautiful chalet very sensibly live in it over the summer. He is a refurbisher of chalets. She is a nag. Although the chalet is already perfect, she always makes him improve something. The comfy sofas in our picture have recently made way for smarter ones, and heaven knows what else will have changed by this winter! Whatever it is will be in good taste and old wood.

The sitting-dining room, with its log fire and open-plan kitchen, is great. It has TV (French), DVDs (British) and WiFi (global). Around this living room are three sweet, woody bedrooms with good bathrooms. They have low mezzanines with futons (well, mattresses) for a ninth adult or up to four children. Please note, however, that flight seats may be limited for extra beds on certain high season dates.

The entire top floor is taken up by the master bedroom. It is bigger than some whole chalets. The bed is vast (4m2!) and the bathroom has an echo. It has both a bath and a power-shower.

There is a veritable vista of the village and valley through the vast windows. As at Grande Sassière, next door, this view implies that the chalet is slightly above the valley floor (four minutes’ walk, to be precise). YSE guests don’t seem to do walking any more, so the two chalets share a Land Rover shuttle to run them to or from any point they wish in Val d’Isère between 8.30 and 10.30am, and from 3.30 to 8.00pm.

Rooms in order of preference (in our opinion):

Bedroom 1: (27’ x 15’) Double (bed 2m square!) with good views, occupying all of second floor. Bathroom with bath and shower plus wc.
Bedroom 2: Twin (11’ x 10’) on first floor, with good views. Two mattresses on mezzanine (10’ x 8’). Bathroom with wc.
Bedroom 3: Double (12’ x 10’) on first floor, with view west towards La Daille, with small double bed, plus single bed on enclosed mezzanine (7’ x 7’). Bathroom with wc.
Bedroom 4: Twin (11’ x 9’) on first floor, with view east, plus one mattress on mezzanine (11’ x 6’). Bathroom with wc.
Sitting-Dining Room: (27’ x 15’) On first floor. Open-plan kitchen (not included in these measurements). Sliding doors to balcony. Log fire. Spectacular views. WiFi.
Extra Beds: Half-price extra beds for one adult or up to four extra children, when one party fills the eight main beds.

Next to the hamlet of Le Cret, but closer to town. Please note, our Land Rover service is included with this chalet at no extra cost.
