Where we are

A legacy sculpted by time

More than just a chalet, Chalet 1864 has been witness to the history of Le Grand-Bornand and its valleys. Its centuries-old buildings hum with history, inviting you to enjoy an energising stay.

The department of Haute-Savoie is a haven of nature and tradition

Perched high up in the heart of the Alps, Chalet 1864 invites you to enjoy a break in an unspoilt, protected environment. Surrounded by majestic mountains and crystal clear lakes, the chalet offers idyllic views for nature lovers.

With activities such as hiking, skiing, cycling, climbing and hang-gliding, you’ll find countless ways to satisfy your need for escape, adventure and also take time out to just look around you.

Savour the specialities of our local cuisine and explore some of the region’s picturesque villages. Le Grand-Bornand, a truly authentic Savoyard village, will charm you with its traditions and magnificent setting.

“As soon as you see the end of the road, you know you’re there. You go into the main chalet and the magic immediately kicks in. Decoration consistently tasteful and authentic, the warmest welcome from Peggy and her team, all to the gentle background music of jazz or piano. In short, it’s going to be good! From breakfast to tea to the evening meal, everything is really delicious and a treat not only for your tastebuds, but also for your eyes.”

« L’art de recevoir n’est pas une mince affaire. L’amabilité est un évident prérequis mais ne fait pas tant. Ou disons que bien que se faisant rare, elle ne fait pas tout. Il faut aussi une qualité devenue denrée rare, une qualité qui porte si bien son nom, celle qui fait toute la différence entre le calcul et la spontanéité : la Bienveillance ! »

« C’est toujours un plaisir de revenir dans ce lieu magique. Une parenthèse de Bonheur, des découvertes gustatives exceptionnelles à chaque bouchée. Rien de plus à rajouter, nous avons hâte de revenir. »

Margaux et Fabien

« C’est une drogue ! Quand on part, on a toujours envie de revenir ! Merci pour ces quelques jours de Bonheur. Toutes les qualités humaines sont au rendez-vous : gentillesse, bienveillance, rires, bien-être, gastronomie et mille bonnes choses ! Nous rentrons le cœur en joie pour revenir l’hiver prochain… le chalet fait partie de notre vie. Avec toute notre affection. »
