Chalet Kandahar
An 1833 farmhouse directly on the Kandahar World Cup run, facing the whole Mont Blanc massif

- 350 m²
Built in 1833 and fully renovated with great taste, Chalet Kandahar is a former farmhouse in one of the most sought-after spots in the Chamonix valley. It is also one of the very few chalets to offer genuine ski-in, ski-out access in both directions: the house sits directly on the celebrated Kandahar World Cup downhill run, known locally as La Verte des Houches, just above its famous Saut de la Route.
Spread over 350 square metres, the chalet welcomes up to twelve guests. There are four double or twin bedrooms and one large room with four adult-sized bunk beds, well suited to younger skiers or groups of friends. The living spaces are vast and open-plan, arranged around a central fireplace, with a very large open kitchen overlooking the lounge and dining area, designed for sociable evenings with a chef at work. A mezzanine offers a media and chill-out space for quieter moments.
The wellness area brings together a sauna, a hammam and a shower, ideal after a day on the slopes. Outside, very large terraces hold a seven-seat jacuzzi with sweeping panoramic views over the entire Chamonix valley, the whole Mont Blanc massif and the magnificent Fiz range. Chalet Kandahar is the ideal place for mountain lovers who want to unwind in a beautiful, private setting, in winter as in summer: the slopes at the door in the cold months, and the high peaks of the valley all around once the snow has gone.
