Petit Bois is a cosy but charming, stand alone chalet, with a private garden and saua, that comfortably sleeps up to six guests in three small bedrooms. Thoughtfully designed within the unique constraints of its origins, this much-loved retreat has become a guest favorite.

Practical & Cozy Spaces

Welcome to the first stop of your stay—our beloved “dumping ground!” This spacious entrance is where boots get kicked off, ski jackets are shed, and all the gear from your mountain adventures finds a home. It’s not fancy, but it’s practical, and it means you won’t have to worry about dragging snow and clutter into the cozy living spaces beyond.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a Jack & Jill en-suite bathroom shared by the two double bedrooms.  The twin room has direct access to the hallway, where you’ll find a lovely antique dresser for storage, a desk for those who need to catch up on work, and the staircase leading upstairs. Tucked neatly under the stairs, you’ll also find a washing machine and microwave.

It’s important to note that since the Jack & Jill bathroom is accessible only through the double bedrooms, at night, guests staying in the twin room will need to use the upstairs bathroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find the main living space—an inviting, open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area designed and built (by me!) for relaxing and socializing. The kitchen was carefully planned to maximize functionality, fitting in a fridge, oven, dishwasher, three bins, a hob, and even a small double sink.

I built the sofas myself too. They’re designed to be low to the ground, offering plenty of space to lounge, sit up, and comfortably gather around after a day on the slopes.

The second bathroom is also upstairs, featuring a bathtub – perfect for soaking tired muscles after skiing or letting the kids enjoy a splash. Do note that this bathroom has restricted head height, a quirk that comes from the chalet’s original purpose.

A Unique Backstory & Thoughtful Design  

Petit Bois wasn’t originally built as a chalet—it started as a garage, constructed by my husband and our digger-driving friend, Nico. Because of this, there are some spatial quirks, but we’ve put a lot of love and creativity into making it as functional and cozy as possible. While the second bathroom might not have ideal head height, we’re glad we managed to fit a second one in at all!

Bedrooms & Comfort

Each bedroom has its own storage, and every bed is topped with a luxurious mattress topper and feather duvet to ensure a really good night’s sleep, (a must have, in my view, if you want to make the most of your holiday).

Outdoor Space – A South-Facing Alpine Escape

Outside you’ll enjoy a sunny south-facing garden, complete with outdoor dining furniture, a BBQ, and a barrel sauna—perfect for unwinding after an active day. To access the garden, you can take the long way around… or climb out the window if you’re feeling adventurous!
