Description

Chalet Lampisterie is a beautiful converted, former railway building, where the chugging trains oil lamps were prepared during the golden age of steam. The ‘shed’ has since been extended and renovated to a high modern standard. It is situated in the beautiful rural village of Le Buet and modern electric trains have now replaced the old steam ones, easily linking guests to all the main ski areas of the valley: Chamonix, Argentiere,Le Tour, Le Buet and Vallorcine.

This charming and cosy family home renovation provides accommodation for up to 6 people (but a maximum of 4 adults). Chalet Lampisterie is perfect for a small group of friends, 2 couples or a family of 2 adults with up to 4 children.

There is easy connectivity to all the ski areas via the train and the local ski school is a short walk away in the middle of Le Buet village making this a perfect chalet for the ‘younger learners’.
