Company info

Chalet Cannelle is hosted and loved by us, Andy & Lorraine. Our perfect holiday would be something active; skiing, walking or biking, mixed in with good food markets, some time to relax, glorious scenery topped off with a delicious meal. After many years in the corporate world it was time for a change and creating a catered chalet in the French Alps was the perfect fit for us. We had long dreamed of creating an alpine retreat that felt more boutique hotel than just another catered ski chalet. With plenty of travel and adventure under our belts, we took our experiences and ideas to create Chalet Cannelle. We love the journey we have been on; from creating furniture and designs in the chalet, meeting some fascinating people and learning to grow and rear our own food. We want our guests to feel as comfortable as they would in their own home while also experiencing a holiday somewhere unique and wonderful. At Chalet Cannelle, with the log fire and mountain views, you'll never forget you're in the mountains, but all life's modern needs are to hand. Nothing is better than comfort after an active alpine day. Our aim is to make sure you have a special holiday in the beautiful French Alps. Whether a winter skiing holiday or a summer walking holiday, we love nothing more than advising our guests on the best powder packed pistes, the most scenic hike or the best tartiflette in the valley. We take care of everything in the chalet to ensure no detail is missed and we take pride in the attention to detail and service that we provide for our guests. We look forward to meeting you, Andy and Lorraine
