Brand new for Summer 2024! Chalet Rufo - Apartment 1 is an impressive 3 bedroom apartment boasting a desirable location just 200m from the high speed 10 seater ski lift in the quaint hamlet of Vercland, Samoëns

Situated in a converted 18th century barn consisting of three other apartments (one of which is for occasional use by the owner), Chalet Rufo - Apartment 1 has been meticulously renovated and finished to a high standard by its owners to create an impressive 86m2 property. The apartment delicately balances modern style and comfort with a splash of luxury, while maintaining hints of the building's agricultural past. Gorgeous original wood hand-crafted by local carpenters, exposed beams, and intricate stonework, in combination with modern comforts such as a quality bespoke kitchen, comfortable beds, quality linen and soft furnishings, underfloor heating, and a warm welcoming ambience.

The apartment boasts a highly desirable location in a peaceful and scenic hamlet, just 200m from a lift and 300m from a ski bus. It remains just a short drive from Samoëns village, where a world of year-round amenities, and attractions await.

To the front of the property, a garden with lawn is the ideal spot to enjoy the mountain environment whether in winter or summer.  You will also find an EV charger next to the parking area and you need to bring your own cable and charging card.

The property has the environment at its core with a heat pump providing efficient underfloor heating in winter, and cooling in summer. The renovation project used 60% original wood, and a high level of insulation makes for a cosy stay.

Breakfast deliveries can be provided by the chalet managers, and a mid-week clean is included in the weekly price.

Chalet Rufo - Apartment 1 can be combined with Chalet Rufo - Apartment 2, located directly above, and sleeping an additional 2/4 people in one bedroom.

Please note that the Vercland ski lift is subject to a closure date one week prior to the Samoëns ski lifts, with a replacement ski bus service in place to the Samoens telecabine.

This property is privately owned and has been carefully selected to be in Alps Accommodation’s premier portfolio. It has a Sunday changeover day, however in low season and for last-minute bookings, flexible arrival day and length of stay may be available. Contact us for more information.

Upon entering the apartment, Chalet Rufo - Apartment 1 benefits from a great space to store outdoor clothing and footwear. Carrying on into the property, you arrive into the wonderfully light and spacious living, dining, and kitchen areas, illuminated by large windows looking towards the garden.

In the living area, two quality sofas are positioned around a gorgeous wooden coffee table, while a smart TV and Wi-Fi provide entertainment.

Property reviews

“Chalet Rufo is beautiful, you have renovated it with great care and attention to detail. It's very comfortable and well appointed. We have really enjoyed the quiet setting, the cool but cosy feel of the chalet, a retreat from the village life. There is so much to do from here in such a beautiful place, we will miss it greatly."
