Chalet Etoile is a sumptuous Alpine base from which to explore the Portes du Soleil area.

Chalet Etoile is just 1 hour 20 mins from Geneva Airport. 2 minutes from local shops and 10 minutes by car from the large supermarkets in Vinzier and Chatel. Nearby is the Gorge Pont Diable, a natural gorge and place of beauty and the lakeside pretty towns of Evian les Bains and Yvoirre are just an easy drive away. There is a large sandy beach on the banks of Lake Geneva at Excenevex and for the more adventurous why not climb the Via Ferrata at la Chapelle d'Abondance or white water raft the river Dranse.
