This fully modernised chalet offers an ideal getaway location, close to several ski resorts and a wide range of summer activities. In its current layout, it comfortably sleeps six people, with a cosy mezzanine sleeping area and separate bedroom
The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with comfortable seating around a wood-burning stove that efficiently heats the entire house, creating a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.
A sun terrace to the side of the chalet is perfectly positioned to enjoy elevated mountain views, offering a truly spectacular setting. The property sits on a 390 m² plot of land that is easy to maintain, while a cave and garage provide ample storage space.
The grounds have been carefully landscaped, with flowering shrubs adding vibrant colour throughout the spring and summer. The chalet has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space, with an official habitable area of 59 m², complemented by an additional 27 m² of mezzanine bedroom space,
This chalet represents a fantastic opportunity, particularly for those seeking a holiday home or weekend retreat. Fully modernised and presented in excellent condition, the property is warm, bright and welcoming, offering a spacious open-plan living area ideal for relaxation.
The ground floor comprises a cave and garage, currently used for storage, a workshop and laundry area. This level provides highly practical and versatile space.
The main living accommodation is accessed via the sunny terrace on the first floor. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, creating a luminous and comfortable atmosphere throughout. This floor includes a modern fitted kitchen, a stylish shower room, a double bedroom, and an open-plan living area with a log burner. High ceilings and exposed wooden beams enhance the sense of space and character.
A small staircase leads to a mezzanine sleeping area, currently arranged with two double beds. This space could be further partitioned if desired, while still retaining plenty of natural light.
The chalet is located in a small and peaceful commune that offers an excellent quality of life. While calm and tranquil, it remains conveniently close to shops and everyday amenities. Major rail and road links are just five minutes away, with Chambéry reachable in approximately 35 minutes and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in around 20 minutes.
Within the village, several small local businesses have been established, offering products such as honey, eggs, fresh produce and herbal infusions. Saint-Alban also boasts a beautiful summer lake with a restaurant, which becomes a popular and relaxing destination during the warmer months.
There are abundant opportunities for cycling, walking and sightseeing directly from the property. The chalet is approximately 35 minutes’ drive from the Saint-François-Longchamp ski resort and Orelle, providing access to the Three Valleys ski area. The Sybelles ski area and Valloire can be reached in around 40 minutes.
This is a charming property offering a wonderful opportunity to simply move in, unwind and enjoy the surroundings.

The Maurienne located in Savoie on the border of Italy. It has in total 13 resorts, 1,663 kilometres of slopes and 389 ski lifts. The three main valley towns are St Jean de Maurienne, St Michel and Modane.
Brides les Bains is a quiet spa town in the pretty valley below Méribel, and is connected to the ski area of the Three Valleys by gondola. The gondola up to Mèribel takes a while and accesses a couple of villages, les Allues and le Raffort, part way up which allows for some decent off-piste runs when conditions permit. It is possible to ski all the way down to Brides when the snow is exceptional but regrettably that is rare, so most people hop back on the gondola either in Meribel or enjoy the off-piste runs down to either of the two villages and then continue by lift from there.
Before it became a ski base it was, and still is, a thermal spa town and as such has much to offer. As well as the spa centre, there are several good value hotels and chalets, shops, restaurants, a casino and a couple of bars – although evenings are generally quiet because it only has a few bars to choses form it does mean that you all end up getting know each other quite quickly so in fact has quite a social feel.
Indeed it has a big following of snow lovers who value a cheaper resort, a proper town feel and easy access as the snow rarely blocks the roads at this height. I like Brides-les-Bains, it quirky, different and very French and makes an unusual and interesting ski base from which you can enjoy the enormous state of the art ski area of the Three Valleys at a much better price. It is also a great summer location for all mountain enthusiasts and offers a lot of different activities during the winter as well.
Because of this it can make a slightly more interesting base for non-skiers who can make use of the thermal spa treatments which can be booked as week courses or as individual treatments – relax and enjoy!
