Chalet Tissières is a unique place, which started life as a traditional French alpine farm. Built in 1552, this makes it one of the oldest chalets in the valley. Recently it has been lovingly renovated and converted into what it is today, a beautiful traditional chalet, with attention paid to maintaining its original features whilst offering the modern luxuries you expect from your alpine holiday.
Chalet Tissières comfortably sleeps 16 people. it is located in an ideal place within the valley 'les bossons', which enjoys tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle, yet still benefiting from easy access to Chamonix town centre (less than 3 km away) as well as only being 1.5 km from the friendly town of les houches.
There is a bus stop within 50 metres distance from the chalet, which offers a regular free transport service into chamonix town centre, as well as the rest of the Chamonix valley. Bossons train station is only 300 metres distance from the chalet, where you can take a train to St. Gervais, where the tgv gives you access to the rest of Europe.
We are very close to the major ski lifts. The famous aguile de midi is only 1.5 km away and le Brevent 3 km. chalet Tissières is only a 3 minute walk to the bottom of les bossons glacier cable car. In winter this takes you to the bossons snowboard park, which is the night riding area of the Chamonix valley.
We can guarantee your stay in the chalet will be an unforgettable one, allowing you to relax and unwind, whilst soaking up the wonderful glacial views of Mont-Blanc, in front of our huge open fire within our spacious open plan living area. At sunset the mountain peaks and glacial ice turn orange, a most spectacular view!
