Despite this, the chalet remains just 700m from the village centre where you will find an excellent range of restaurants, bars, local shops, bakeries and popular weekly market.

In winter, the closest ski bus stop is just 200m from the chalet and offers a regular service to the Grand Massif Express gondola which links into the impressive Grand Massif network (bus service may end late March - see In Resort Transport for timetable).

Saville, Chalet Falconnieres, January 2023

"Just one word; wow! This is the first time ever that we have holidayed self-catering, and the photos on the booking website haven't done justice to the superb high standard of the accommodation (how could they!). We were blown away by the beautiful furnishings, and the obvious attention to detail to welcome guests, to make their stay special. Meghan from Piste Out was brill when I contacted her to discuss a couple of minor issues that were encountered.We loved every second of our stay at Chalet Falconnieres and will definitely be back one day. Thanks also for all your help with what seemed like a thousand questions asked by me during the booking process. Loved Samoens, loved Chalet Falconnieres and loved Alps Accommodation."

Stapley, Chalet Falconnieres, April 2022

Searancke Family, Chalet Falconnieres, April 2022

"We really enjoyed on our arrival:
- Heated chalet
- Wood and fireplace prepared

The location of the chalet in relation to the village is ideal: quiet, close to the centre and with a splendid view! We would like to thank the owners for allowing us to have a wonderful stay in their beautiful chalet! Next year we will contact you again : you are at the top!"
