Perched at an altitude of 1,750 metres, like a mountain refuge, the Chalet de Mapellet immerses you among ridges and alpine pastures, in the heart of a protected natural area. This rare setting, with its breathtaking views, offers peace, a chance to unwind, beauty, and freedom. In this secluded setting, you can enjoy the silence of the surroundings and the splendour of the mountains. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will find it an ideal playground. The “La Bourgeoise” viewpoint, located 350 metres above the chalet, offers an exceptional view of Mont Blanc.
Formerly a summer camp and now fully renovated, the chalet is a luxurious 160 m² retreat. Authentic materials—stone and reclaimed wood—have restored its simple charm and warm character. Self-sufficient in electricity and supplied with water from a spring, the chalet embodies a life of simplicity and offers the chance to live in the heart of nature, in harmony with the elements.
Located near the legendary Col de Joux Plane (a stage of the Tour de France), the chalet is accessible via a vehicle-accessible trail—by car in the summer (5 min) and on snowshoes in the winter (15 min).
The complete self-sufficiency and unique location of this one-of-a-kind alpine chalet will make you feel as though you’ve stepped away from the world.
