Chalet Émeraude des Alpes...
Perched on a mountainside, this stunning contemporary chalet made of larch boasts wonderful views over the Chartreuse regional park and the traditional village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, just a 15-minute walk away.
The spacious terrace at Chalet Émeraude des Alpes is the perfect place to enjoy the scenery, with a comfortable seating area, a large dining table for outdoor meals and a quiet space with sunbeds where you can relax and enjoy the mountain air. The bedrooms on the ground floor also open onto a terrace, where you'll be able to enjoy the sunrise with a coffee in the morning.
In the winter, you'll be able to go skiing in various family-friendly resorts located less than 10km from the property – Le Planolet, Le Granier, Le Désert d'Entremont, and Le Col de Porte (15km), where you can also try biathlon. You will find Nordic skiing in Le Désert d'Entremont or Le Col de Porte. During the rest of the year, guests can enjoy wonderful hiking and biking trails, as well as watersports on the Guiers river.
You will find a small supermarket, a cheese shop, a café, a pharmacy, a bakery and a butcher, famous for its high-quality local meat, in the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont. There are also five restaurants, including a fine dining restaurant, a tapas/cocktail bar, and more in the surrounding villages.
About the property...
Up to nine guests can enjoy a wonderful holiday at Chalet Émeraude des Alpes, which has four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, set over three floors.
You'll enter on the ground floor – several steps take you down to the spacious living area. The fully-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar with hob, and doors to the outdoor seating area, with sunbeds and a barbecue. The dining table, with comfortable, upholstered chairs is positioned to take advantage of the wonderful views, and is the perfect place for everyone to eat together. Just next to this is a cosy seating area with a large, L-shaped sofa, armchair and a wood-burning stove. There's a TV in this area, but you may find it difficult to take your eyes off the view!
The master bedroom, with walls covered in larch, is also located on the ground floor, and has its own walk-in shower, washbasin and separate WC. Going down a few steps, you will find a large bathroom with corner bathtub, double washbasin and walk-in shower.
Two other bedrooms are located on the lower ground floor. The double room has a full-width glass sliding door which perfectly frames the view and opens onto the lower terrace, with tables and chairs. Next to this is a twin room, which also has doors to the terrace. These rooms share a separate WC. There is also a laundry room with a washing machine, a dryer and a freezer.
There is another large bedroom for three on the top floor, with a single bed and a set of bunk beds. Children will appreciate this floor, which also has a games room with table football, a sofa and a television. There's also an office with a desk and armchair, perfect for working remotely.
Beyond the terraces, Chalet Émeraude des Alpes has a pétanque court and a small garden which slopes down to a wooded area. There is a parking area in front of the door of the chalet, and a charging point for electric cars.
About the area...
Set in the Chartreuse natural park on the banks of the Guiers river, the beautiful traditional village of Saint-Pierre-d’Entremont has plenty to keep you busy, but without the crowds that flock to larger resorts.
In the winter, you'll be able to go skiing in various family-friendly resorts located less than 10km from the property – Le Planolet, Le Granier, Le Désert d'Entremont, and Le Col de Porte (15km), where you can also try biathlon. You will find Nordic skiing in Le Désert d'Entremont or Le Col de Porte.
And when the snow melts, there’s still plenty to see and do in the Chartreuse Natural Park. Try via ferrata at Roche Veyrand (5km away), potholing, canyoning, or trout fishing in the river. Discover the region from the air by going paragliding or on horseback, swim in the nearby lakes or in the outdoor Nordic baths at the Oréade spa in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse. Admire the spectacular waterfalls at Cirque de Saint-Même (9km), or enjoy the many scenic walks around Saint-Pierre-d’Entremont.
The Chartreuse valley is a cyclist's paradise, thanks to the scenery and the twists and turns in the roads, which often feature in stages of the Tour de France and the Dauphiné Libéré. Bikes and cycling equipment can be rented in the village.
If history is your passion, make sure you visit the ruined Château de Montbel and the museum at the Grande Chartreuse monastery, which will give you a taste of life as a Carthusian monk. You will also be able to admire one of the finest pieces of sacred art of the 20th century by the painter Arcabas, in the church of Saint-Hugues-de-Chartreuse.
Foodies can indulge in the wonderful local produce. The village is home to the popular Boucherie Guerre, which sells delicious charcuterie, sausages and meat, and the Fromagerie Arpin where you can try the best local cheeses and dairy produce. Finally, gourmets will be able to enjoy a fine-dining experience at the Moulin des Chartreux restaurant.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Émeraude des Alpes is a three-storey chalet for nine guests with four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.
It's just a fifteen-minute walk downhill to the peaceful village of Saint-Pierre d'Entremont, where you'll find a few restaurants and shops, including a delicatessen and a small supermarket.
There's skiing in Planolet, 8km away, and outside the ski season there are plenty of walks and cycle trails as well as water sports in the Guiers river.
There's parking at the rear of the chalet, and the entrance will take you in to the spectacular living area, with windows overlooking the village and its traditional church. There's a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, a large dining table and a cosy seating area with a woodburning stove.
There's a real "inside-outside" feel to this room, as sliding doors open onto the furnished terrace where you'll find another comfortable seating area, a dining table and a barbecue area with sunbeds.
There are two bedrooms on the lower ground floor – a double room and a twin room – both of which open on to the lower terrace and pétanque court.
These rooms share a bath/shower room.
There's also a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer.
Children of all ages will love the mezzanine floor, which has a bedroom with a single bed and a set of bunk beds as well as a games and TV room with table football. There's also an office up here with a desk and armchair.
There are several sets of steps around the chalet, which may make it unsuitable for those with limited mobility. Families should also be aware that the garden is fairly steep, so young children should be supervised at all times. Parking is available behind the chalet.
We think Chalet Émeraude des Alpes is a great choice for a group of family or friends who would like a quiet and relaxed holiday in the mountains, away from the crowds that you'll find in the bigger resorts. However, you will need a car to make the most of this stunning area.

Olivier
Our chalet project was born during the Covid crisis, when we decided to shut ourselves away in the Chartreuse area. We left for a week and stayed for two months!
We fell in love with the place, the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont and the superb mountain scenery. Stendhal called this massif "the emerald of the Alps", a priceless jewel with eternal reflections.
So we decided to look for a place of our own, and after almost three years, we finally realised our dream to own a chalet in Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, with a 180-degree view of the Chartreuse massif.
Chalet Émeraude des Alps reflects both our personalities: a former professional mogul skier who made his first turns here, and a Parisian in love with the mountains.
We're delighted to be able to welcome you to our cosy wooden chalet and help you discover this magnificent area – a paradise for those who love nature and the mountains, just five minutes from the village!
