Chalet les Mélèzes is a traditional self catered chalet in the pretty and welcoming resort of Ovronnaz, Valais, Switzerland.

Les Mélèzes is our holiday home, but, as we can’t be there all the time, it is available to rent for you to use as your home from home.  We now invite you to come and explore the region from our warm and welcoming “cabin in the woods”. Summer or winter you will not be disappointed.

We have been working in and visiting Switzerland for the last twenty seven years, from ski guiding to managing hotels, welcoming and organizing summer groups and educational skiing weeks and hiking in the mountains.  Because of our knowledge of the area we are well placed to pass on this information to help you get the most of your stay. From getting to the chalet to going home, all you need to do is ask, and exploring the pages on this website should give you a fair indication of how we can help to make your visit a memorable one.

Follow the links for further information and don’t be in too much of a hurry - you will need some time to check out the fantastic sets of stunning photographs of the region, some of which were taken by guides and air support staff at Air Glaciers in Sion, who will happily take you on a helicopter flight over the area.  Many thanks to them.

Constructed in 1961 Chalet Les Mélèzes (“The Larches”) is built from the local timber found in the forests which surround the picturesque mountain village of Ovronnaz.  The village was mainly a summer holiday destination up until the mid-sixties when a small drag lift was installed to cater for the growing local interest in skiing.  Ovronnaz still retains its air of a “hidden gem”, as, although more lifts have been added to the slopes above the village over the years, it still maintains a steadfast resolution to not be anything other than a small, safe, family friendly ski station and summer mountain retreat.
