Request: Near Geneva Airport - property for sole occupancy for 7 people, from 30/12/2023 to 6/1/2024
Alert


We are looking for a self catering apartment/chalet with min 3 bedrooms for 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 9,11 & 13). We would consider a shared catered apartment but this would be dependent on cost.

We are looking to travel to Geneva Airport on Saturday 30 December 2023.

We would like to be close to the slopes/lifts (preferably ski in/ski out or at least short walk - no bus rides). We are a mixture of beginner to advanced.

Thank you

Hi

We could have just the thing for you, check out our website www.chillypowder.com. You’ll see we have a unique ski to door location near the Prodains gondola to Avoriaz… no hiking with skis, no squeezing on buses. On our website there's also a 360 degree tour – you can see all our bedrooms so there will be no surprises when you arrive!

Hotel Au Coin du Feu is a full service hotel with a chalet style atmosphere. Our 17 unique bedrooms are perfect for couples and families alike. We have an on–site crèche, a games/movie room for teenagers, a hot-tub, sauna, massage room, private bar and five course evening meals for adults. All our rooms can be booked for seven nights half board or for short breaks.

Chalet Plan des Rochers is 80 meters from the hotel and can be booked for exclusive use or by individual bedrooms. Fully catered and staffed with the same standards and facilities as our hotel, Plan des Rochers also benefits from an excellent ski to door location.

Chalet des Amis is next door to Au Coin du Feu so can be used as a private chalet or as an annex to the hotel. It sleeps up to 8 people in 3 bedrooms, is ski to door and shares the spa facilities of the hotel. It has it's own private chef but there is the option of joining guests at Au Coin du Feu if there is space in the dining room.

Chilly Powder offer the full package – we have onsite childcare, can arrange transfers and we’ll even have your lift pass ready by breakfast on the first morning of your stay with us.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Paul, Francesca and Nick
