WHY CHAMONIX Fast transfer times from Geneva means more valuable ski time on the slopes making Chamonix an ideal short break location. We can arrange a private luxury transfer with a ski fitting en-route and from there our drivers will be waiting to whisk you to the slopes. Chamonix is an authentic French town with heaps of tradition and history yet it is not shy about encompassing its illustrious Swiss and Italian neighbours. The flexibility for skiing throughout the valley makes this an incredible resort where each day can provide interesting and new challenges for all levels whilst emerging yourself in different cultures.
PERFECT LOCATION Think of fantastic skiing and you think of Chamonix. The Chamonix valley is 16km’s long, made up of five major ski stations and our chalets are perfectly positioned central to them all, with The Vallee Blanche and Courmayeur within easy reach.

PEOPLE SAY THE NICEST THINGS “Thank you to the thoughtful, kind and attentive staffing by Cragganmore you made our stay most enjoyable. The house and arrangements were perfect we had a great vacation in Chamonix and hope to be back to Cragganmore soon! Thanks again to all” Feb 2013 “Loved our stay at the wonderful Chalet Cragganmore! Amazing views, great company and helpful staff. Special kudos go to Alex - the talented young chef. His canapés were among the most innovative I’ve had - especially liked the Mini English Breakfast and Deconstructed Beef Wellington! Great wines too and the whisky tasting was a clever touch - I learned something new!” Bob Preston 2012 “We had an amazing week at Cragganmore. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. We are heading back to London determined to return one day. (Barney, thanks for the skiing tips!!) Simon, Daniela, Stella, Silvia Jan 2013 “We stayed in Cragganmore back in December and one of the main things that stood out for me was the quality of the food produced by the Chef Alex. It was like dining in a Michelin start restaurant but in the comfort of your own home. Superb food, excellent service and all-round memorable stay. We will be back!” D.Frith, Dec 2012 “Dalmore is truly a spectacle. From the stylish bedrooms to the wooden lounge features built from trees felled outside the property, every detail is crafted to perfection. A modern, yet comfy chalet, Dalmore is certainly one of the best places to stay in the whole of Chamonix. Our group had an unforgettable time staying at the Chalet and with a view onto the beautiful Alps from every angle Dalmore is surely the pinnacle of skiing accommodation. The addition of a personal chef who cooks and bakes for you every day is simply the icing on the cake! Many thanks again for an incredible holiday!” Mike Battle Jan 2014 “Had a fantastic time at chalet Dalmore! Chamonix’s a great resort and the drivers at Dalmore allow you to discover its full potential. That chalet itself is incredible; the hot tub and sauna are both great fun and relaxing.

Thanks to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable.” Aidan Scannell Jan 2014 “thank you for everything! the kids loved the attention you girls great. We had such a good time :) We wish you happy 2014!” Cassaro & Pinninta Family Dec 2013 “Beautifully located, nested in the mountains of Chamonix with quick and easy access to the slopes, the ambience of Chalet Dalmore was relaxed yet luxurious.
