Chalet Aravis
Les Confins, La Clusaz · French Alps, France
Previously known as Chalet Felix
Complete privacy, deep in the Aravis mountains.
Overview
Aravis sits apart, in the nature, a short drive from La Clusaz's lifts, with no neighbors in sight in any direction. Built entirely in wood in the style of the Aravis valley, it has a separate ski room at the entrance, ample parking, and three full floors inside.
The top floor holds two ensuite bedrooms, Edelweiss and Gentiane, sharing a separate guest toilet. The middle floor is the heart of the chalet: a bright, open living space wrapped in windows, a kitchen with a table for ten to twelve, and a large mountain-view lounge by the central staircase. Downstairs, a third ensuite bedroom, Myrtille, and a fourth, dorm-style ensuite room, Génépi, sleep the rest of the group, alongside a windowless home cinema room built for twelve.
An outdoor hot tub is already in place, with a sauna planned as a future addition.

Booking FAQ
How does booking Chalet Aravis work?
Tell us your dates, group size, and what matters most to you. We narrow our collection to what genuinely fits, you choose from a short, honest shortlist, and once we issue a Booking Confirmation and receive your deposit, your stay is secured.
What are the payment terms?
A 30% deposit is due at the time of booking, with the remaining 70% due no later than 60 days before arrival. If you book less than ten weeks before your trip, the full amount is due at booking. We accept bank wire transfer and major credit cards; a processing fee may apply to card payments.
What is the cancellation policy?
Because we commit to the chalet owner on your behalf well in advance, cancellation is on a sliding scale: more than 90 days before arrival, your 30% deposit is forfeited; between 60 and 90 days, 50% of the total price becomes non-refundable; within 60 days of arrival, including no-shows, the full amount is non-refundable.
Is there a security deposit?
Yes, a refundable security deposit separate from your rental price, set at $10,000, collected no later than 14 days before arrival. It covers damage, missing items, or excess cleaning, and is released within 14 days of your departure, less any documented deductions.
Will I pay more than on a booking platform?
No. Our fee is kept in line with what a booking platform would charge, so working with us costs you the same, while adding local expertise, a personal point of contact, and someone accountable if anything needs fixing. A number of the owners we work with only rent through agencies they know personally, so several of our chalets aren't listed anywhere you could book them yourself.
