Family gatherings & celebrations

The whole family, under one roof.

Big birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or two or three families on holiday together. Chalet Sandy sleeps 21 across nine bedrooms, and it's all yours. Cook for yourselves, or book our chef for the big dinner.

The chalet

Built for big groups.

Room for everyone

Nine bedrooms over two floors and eight bathrooms. The family suite has two interconnecting rooms, so children sleep next door to their parents. Cots available on request.

One big table

The dining table seats everyone, and so does the terrace table in summer. There's a log fire in the living room, a hot tub on the terrace, a pizza oven, BBQ and table tennis, and a TV and games room downstairs that the kids tend to take over.

The celebration dinner

Our chef is Michelin-trained. For a birthday or anniversary, book a tasting menu at the chalet, with wine, and leave the washing up to us. The rest of the week, the kitchen is equipped for 21. Catering is quoted separately.

Les Gets

A good village for families.

Les Gets is a small, traditional village, not a purpose-built resort, and it's easy with children.

  • Free ski bus from about 30 metres from the chalet, and gentle slopes for beginners.
  • Lac des Écoles, a natural swimming lake with lifeguards from late June to the end of August.
  • The mechanical music museum in the old village, which children love.
  • Walks from the door, the bike park in summer, and the market on Thursday mornings.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

How many people can stay?

Up to 21 across nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Two of the rooms have bunk beds, so a group of 16 adults and 5 children fits well.

Is it good for young children?

Yes. The family suite is two interconnecting rooms, a double and a bunk room, so little ones sleep right next to their parents. Ranfoilly has a double and bunk beds too. Cots are available on request, at an extra charge.

Can you cook for a birthday or anniversary?

Yes. Our Michelin-trained chef can cook the big dinner at the chalet, with wine if you like, or cook every night. Most families self-cater and book the chef for one or two evenings. Catering is quoted separately from the accommodation.

Can we bring the dog?

Yes, dogs are welcome. Just let us know when you enquire.

What's the minimum stay?

Usually 3 nights. Christmas and New Year are 7 nights, and some school-holiday weeks are 5.

How does booking work?

A 25% deposit secures the dates and the balance is due 8 weeks before you arrive. Booking direct means no platform fees, so we can always offer you our best price.

What's included?

The whole chalet, bed linen and towels, all utilities, fibre Wi-Fi, the hot tub, pizza oven and BBQ, and parking for up to 6 cars. Catering is extra.
