LA FERME
DE BERNADETTE
La Ferme de Bernadette is a home that feels effortlessly authentic—rich in history, beautifully proportioned and designed for spending time together. Combining timeless Alpine architecture with elegant contemporary living, it offers a wonderfully peaceful retreat in a stunning part of the Chamonix Valley.
Set on the peaceful hillside of Les Chavants in Les Houches, just fifteen minutes from the centre of Chamonix,
La Ferme de Bernadette is a beautifully restored Savoyard farmhouse where authentic Alpine heritage meets understated contemporary comfort.
Lovingly renovated with enormous respect for the building's history, the farmhouse retains its remarkable original timber frame, centuries-old beams and traditional craftsmanship, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply welcoming.
Every room celebrates the character of the property, while carefully integrated modern touches ensure exceptional comfort throughout.
Positioned to capture some of the valley's most spectacular scenery, La Ferme de Bernadette enjoys magnificent views towards the Mont Blanc massif and the iconic Aiguille du Midi.
The entire upper floor has been designed as one magnificent social space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings. At its centre stands an impressive suspended fireplace, creating a natural focal point around which family and friends gather after days spent on the mountain.
Comfortable sofas, intimate seating areas and warm natural materials create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, equally suited to quiet evenings or lively celebrations.
A beautiful farmhouse dining table comfortably seats up to fourteen guests, while the contemporary kitchen can either remain open to the living space or be discreetly separated behind elegant glass doors.
A cosy television snug, a billiard table overlooking the valley and a peaceful study complete this remarkable living floor, offering inviting spaces for every generation to enjoy.
La Ferme de Bernadette accommodates guests across seven thoughtfully appointed bedrooms.
The spacious master suite enjoys a luxurious bathroom with both bathtub and walk-in shower, while several beautifully presented double bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities.
A charming family suite combines a double bedroom with an adjoining children's room featuring three single beds, making the chalet particularly well suited to multi-generational family holidays.
On the lower ground floor, a self-contained studio with kitchenette, private entrance and shower room provides additional flexibility for staff or independent guests.
After skiing, hiking or exploring the Chamonix Valley, guests can relax in the intimate sauna before returning upstairs to gather around the fire, share dinner together or simply enjoy the tranquillity of this exceptional chalet.
Practical features include a double garage with generous storage for skis, bicycles and outdoor equipment, additional private parking, and easy access to the Prarion gondola, located just a three-minute drive away. Chamonix's world-renowned skiing, restaurants and year-round activities are only 15 minutes from the chalet.
