Chalet Tissières, is truly a unique place, which is set in a spectacular location close to Chamonix town centre (1 hour's drive from Geneva airport). At the foot of Europe's largest descending glacier, we are in the heart of the Chamonix valley.
Built in 1552, our chalet started life as a traditional French Alpine farm. Recently it has been lovingly renovated and converted into what it is today; a beautiful large chalet, with attention paid to detail, maintaining its original features, whilst offering all the modern luxuries.
Our Chamonix chalet is very close to the major ski lifts in the valley. Our central location offers Chalet Tissières a spacious surrounding, with stunning views of the entire valley. All of Chamonix's main transportation facilities are on our door step.
We can guarantee your stay in the chalet will be an unforgettable one, allowing you to relax and unwind, whilst soaking up the stunning views of Mont-Blanc. At sunset from our hot tub, the mountains and glaciers glow orange, a most spectacular view!

As soon as this deposit has been received by us, a binding contract between us comes into existence. French law governs this contract and all matters arising out of it. In the unlikely event of any dispute arising between us, we both agree that the courts of France will deal with this.
3. FINAL PAYMENT
The remainder of your holiday payment should be made 6 weeks prior to your holiday start date. If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain the deposit and recoup any additional charges.
You may pay through online banking or credit card.

However we do reserve the right to make these changes if appropriate. Once a refund has been credited we will be under no further liability outside the cost of your stay at Chalet Tissières (including previously arranged transportation, carriage and/or accommodation).

We also do not accept any responsibility for injury, illness or death caused by your own actions or omissions, or by any unforeseeable or unavoidable event.
Information about Chamonix and its services contained in our website, is accurate to the best of our knowledge.

You are responsible at all times for all your personal belongings, documents and ski equipment (including hired). Due to the nature of chalet holidays, we cannot always guarantee that bedroom doors will be lockable.
Ice & Orange will not arrange your travel by sea, rail or air and accordingly Ice and Orange cannot accept responsibility for injury or loss suffered as the result of the acts or omissions of the providers of such services.

Hire periods start at 4pm on the date of arrival and end 10am on the date of departure.
On the date of arrival (indicated on your invioce) we will endeavour to have your room ready by 4pm. However, this may not be guaranteed and in this case we will provide you with an area of the chalet until such time.
Your room must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure, regardless of the time of transfer. We will however provide space for the storage of baggage, should you either arrive before 4pm, or wish to leave after 10am.
The Client must use the Chalet Tissières for the purpose of a private holiday residence only and not for any other purpose.
10. GROUP BOOKINGS
Ice & Orange reserves the right to have other parties staying in the chalet during your holiday unless you specify at the time of booking that you want to book the chalet for the sole occupancy of your party.
