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.

Chamonix is a large town and quite unlike
any other European ski resort. It is by no
means a purpose built resort, and the region
is steeped in history. While the area is famous
for it’s skiing, Chamonix is widely regarded
as being one of the best resorts in Europe
for non-skiers as there is a huge amount of
things to see and do off the slopes.

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. Great food, great staff, great chalet, great
holiday! 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. The staff were
attentive and friendly, and the food phenomenal. Would return in a heartbeat!” Lara
