“Chalet Coeur is a stunning alpine lair – tucked away and hidden from the valley below, it would be hard to find a more inspiring living room to plot your day from…”
Description
Chalet Coeur is a beautiful 17th Century farmhouse that has been renovated to a high modern standard. It is situated in the gorgeous hamlet of La Rosiere, just a few minutes drive above Samoens village, pleasantly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town below.
From the outside, Chalet Coeur may look like any other traditional Alpine farmhouse, but this modern home is a stunning renovation and never ceases to impress our guests with its incredible location above Samoens. The chalet provides accommodation for 10 guests in 4 bedrooms, with 4 bathrooms. Chalet Coeur is also a comfortable option for couples wanting to get away because you can be tucked away upstairs in the living area and master suite. But it is also fun to fill the house with a group of friends or one big family as there is plenty of space.

What Our Guests Say
“We had a wonderful week at Chalet Coeur and would love to return. Beautifully decorated, secluded high above the valley with breathtaking views, it is the perfect place for some après ski fun (or après-hike for us as we were there in August!) with its open plan entertaining space, sauna, snooker table and movie projector.”
— Sarah
“We had an incredible week and would love to come back! ”

“Séjour familial en famille pour Noël Pascaline qui nous a accueilli avec gentillesse a contribué à rendre ce séjour parfait Merci infiniment. ”
— Brigitte M.
“I absolutely LOVED this chalet :-) I have never had such a wow feeling when entering a chalet. And the AGA cooker was a very very nice first experience.”
— Sylvie Verleye
“We spent 2021 Christmas time in Chalet Coeur and with close friends, we felt home, with a Christmas tree, fire place fully served and nice decoration. The chalet was very well prepared as usual and found all we need to prepare the Christmas Eve. Warm atmosphere, everything you need is available in the house. If you are looking for a very quiet place, in the middle of the mountain, Chalet coeur is the place to be, although you only need 10 minutes to reach the village center. ”
— Olivier C.
“Superbe chalet, très confortable et bien équipé. Le Châlet coeur est situé dans un petit hameau, au bord d'une mini route très peu fréquentée. Le seul son que l'on y entend est celui des cloches des vaches! Les chambres sont très confortables, la cuisine super bien équipée et le billard et le sauna sont très agréables lors des longues soirées d'hiver. Nous y avons passé un séjour à 10 vraiment génial!”
— Catherine B.
“Séjour de 15 jours magiques pour la 4ème année avec 2 de nos petits enfants
Un coin de paradis hors du temps, calme absolu idéal pour se ressourcer, se coucher fenêtre ouverte en écoutant les petits bruits de la forêt après de grandes Ballades. Le staff est très gentil , toujours disponible, le chalet est amélioré d année en année. L équipement est de très grande qualité surtout la cuisine et la literie.... et la buanderie. Un excellent compromis entre le confort et le standing, d emblée on ressent un bon feeling ... on devine les bons souvenirs des regroupements familiaux .... On pense déjà au prochain séjour !”
— Marie-Claude
“We have just returned from Chalet Coeur having had a fantastic 2 weeks there with children and grandchildren. We had a warm welcome from Graeme, the local caretaker. The chalet is luxurious but not impractical. It is so well sited and planned that you could quite easily spend days just looking out of the windows at the views. But there are walks and shoe shoeing opportunities just out of the door and skiing is a short drive away.”
— Anne
“We are coming back!! The most Wonderful House! Professional team and transparency!! Do not miss it! Worth every penny!”
— Nanna
“Absolutely lovely place and brilliant location for those that want to be away from it all. Excellent local guide in the house for all the walks and best restaurants you’ll need. Had such a wonderful time.”
— Will
“The chalet was amazing and my family, friends and I all absolutely loved it. So many little touches to make one’s stay more comfortable, very well kitted out in the kitchen, thoughtfully designed and laid out in the living areas, loads of charm, loads of character, very cosy with its superb fireplace, yet spacious for 2-3 families to have enough space to relax. This is a truly stunning chalet set in a lovely rural location with wonderful views yet just a 10 -15 minute drive to the centre of Samoens, a beautiful little town with to access to some great skiing and ski schools. Guests can listen to records and the chalet boasts quite a nice collection. There is a projector and screen which was perfect for the odd cinema night with the children, and the pool table was a delight! We would love to return some day!”
— Serkan
“Chalet Coeur is brilliant. For us it felt very homely offering loads of space for adults and kids to enjoy themselves. The chalet is very well catered and very warm with some excellent touches like the vinyl collection and the pool table. The location was excellent far enough away from town to provide peace and quiet but close enough to all the amenities and ski lift. The immediate area is stunning with loads to do and explore on your doorstep.”
— Michael
“Peaceful with beautiful views, we felt like the surrounding landscape and forest was ours. The house is wonderful and spacious enough to deal with 3 generations, also very well equipped with things to do; sauna, music, pool table, movies and an Aga to cook on! The serious skiers and snowboarders went off everyday to higher slopes and the rest of us went snow-shoeing from the house, everyone was happy! A very professional service, we were well informed and cared for, no complaints.”
— Lone
“We had an incredible stay in the Samoens – the chalet is spectacular and the location an absolutely dream. This ski holiday for the family exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be looking to return. The facilities within the chalet are incredible – with everything you need for cooking, entertaining, relaxing. Thank you for everything – we fell in love with your chalet and the location.”
— Belinda

Suitable for all levels, there is over 275km of piste to explore and plenty of off-piste for more advanced skiers. In the summer, this area is a hub for adventure sports such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing and paragliding.
