Is the food for your catered chalet holiday just as important as the skiing? If yes, you are in the right place.
The dining experience at Chalet Cannelle is why many of our guests return each year. The large dining table next to the open kitchen gives you the chef’s table experience every night. This is where Andy spends the day, making all manner of creations from scratch for you to enjoy after your day in the mountains.
We love everything about food. Growing it, picking it, sourcing it, preparing it, eating it. It has been a delight for us to travel and be inspired by incredible chefs, return to the chalet and recreate the flavours we have experienced for our guests.

Freshly baked afternoon tea.
Dinner on 5/7 nights: The evening starts with an aperitif and canapés, followed with a 4 course dinner prepared in house with different matching wines each evening.

"Our third stay at this beautiful chalet. Lorraine and Andy are simply wonderful hosts - the food is awesome, the matching wines varied and delicious and the chalet feels like a home from home. The minibus service to the slopes makes the day even more relaxed and coming home to freshly baked cake, the fireplace and the hot tub is just the icing on the cake! We are looking forward to returning." 02 Sep 23Review posted online by Laure
"A gem in the mountain!We had an amazing stay at Chalet Cannelle. First we discovered a beautiful region in the Alps with lots of things to do during summer time.
The service from Lorraine & Andy is outstanding.
The combination between the design & the atmosphere of the Chalet makes you feel at home. The bedroom was very comfortable.
The place is quieter than some hotels even though it's an old farm. Perfect breakfast with a large choice of homemade and local foods & products.
I think it could be a perfect place to come back on a retreat, to enjoy peace & quiet while meeting great people.
Thank you!
We will be back and try the winter season." 02 Sep 23

"Wonderful stay at Chalet Cannelle over the July 14th weekend. Perfect getaway location nested in the French alps at the border with Switzerland. Lorraine and Andy’s recommendations for hikes and dinner were spot on and helped us make the best of that rainy but wonderful stay. Spotless room and a huge bathroom, spacious living room with stunning view on the mountains, yummy breakfast with homemade yogurt and variations on eggs (scrambled, poached, omelette). I can only wish our stay had lasted longer. Will definitely come back over winter." 02 Sep 23Review posted online by Sam
"My family and I stayed for a long weekend in early July and I have to say I can't wait to go back. Chalet Cannelle is like stepping into a mixed episode of Escape to the Country and Grand Designs. The chalet's gorgeous high ceilings with exposed beams, and the overall style was simply gorgeous. Our two children loved the well equipped kids room which meant my husband and I could take a bit of time out to relax." 02 Jan 16Review posted online by Mick
"From the moment I first made an enquiry to the last day of the holiday we were looked after with effective communications and treat like the owners really care.Often when you see pictures the reality is somewhat different - not at Chalet Cannelle - the pictures reflect it as it is - spacious, beautifully maintained, well equipped, spotlessly clean and everything functioning." 02 Jan 16
