The neighbourhood
The forest of the Brevent serves as the Chalet's back yard, with large fir trees and raspberry bushes just outside the door. Generations of climbers and skiers from all over the world have stayed here, some of whom are now written about in mountaineering books and others simply spent a memorable holiday in a friendly and sporting atmosphere.
