"Chintalaya", the ancient Sanskrit name meaning "place for thoughts", has a contemporary, relaxing charm and is set in an enviable riverside position in the heart of Chamonix.
Chalet Chintalaya is a lovely, privately-owned chalet located in an enviable position in the heart of Chamonix and close to all the resort's amenities, shops, bars and restaurants.
The chalet is also just a 4 minute walk from the Aiguille du Midi cable car, the start point to the famous Vallée Blanche – a high mountain off-piste ski run with unforgettable scenery.
As well as having the advantage of being centrally located, Chintalaya is nestled in a peaceful spot next to the River L'Arve and set in a stunning backdrop of mountain scenery. Also, new at the chalet this winter is the addition of a luxury outdoor hot tub.

The services of the resort team
Please note, during the winter season we run our bookings on a Sunday to Sunday basis to avoid busy roads and airport congestion sometimes found on a Saturday. This not only gives easier and quicker transfers to and from resort but also enables you to ski on Saturday – generally one of the quietest days of the week!
Chalet Chintalaya is also open during the summer months and can be booked on a self catered basis, although we can organise private chefs, etc for your stay.
