Chalet Truman - Ski, Bike & Hike Near Lac de Montriond & Ardent Lift - 4 bedroom | Ski Chalet in Montriond
4 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Montriond
WELCOME TO CHALET TRUMAN
Welcome to Chalet Truman, our much-loved alpine home in the peaceful hamlet of Les Albertans, just a short walk from beautiful Lac de Montriond and only a five-minute drive from the Ardent gondola. Whether you're planning a winter ski holiday, a summer adventure, or simply somewhere to relax and enjoy the mountains, Chalet Truman is perfectly placed to explore everything the Portes du Soleil has to offer.
We believe the chalet is over 200 years old and was originally built as a goat shepherd's retreat. It has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its original character, so expect exposed beams, cosy spaces and authentic alpine charm rather than a modern purpose-built chalet.
