Everything is about comfort - large open plan living space with log fire and views of the Abondance valley through double height windows - the perfect spot to relax after an active day in the mountains. After afternoon tea, take a soak in the outdoor hot tub surrounded in snow before aperitifs and canapés are served around the fire.

At Chalet Cannelle we take our passion for quality homemade food and the region's outstanding local produce seriously. Everything is homemade and fresh, always satisfying, and occasionally indulgent...
The children aren't left out; we provide an early service for the younger ones with a menu both children and parents will love. Everything is homemade - no preservatives or additives and we sneak in as much goodness as possible without the kids knowing about it.
Winter
For our Winter guests, we provide a fully catered stay. This includes breakfast served every day with hot and cold options. On your return from the slopes, a freshly baked afternoon tea is served with hot drinks.
The evening starts with an aperitif and canapés, followed with a 4 course dinner prepared in house with local and seasonal produce.
Summer
In the Summer, we offer B&B with a hot breakfast option and also half-board including a 3 course dinner. The local seasonal produce is in abundance at this time of year and we make the most of it. The summer days also allow for al fresco dining on our terrace with a backdrop of the beautiful Abondance valley.

"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
