Chalet Encrenaz is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain chalet set on over 3,000m² of protected natural land. The chalet's position offers complete privacy and some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Roc d'Enfer and Aravis mountain ranges. Quietly nestled along a popular hiking trail, this unique chalet provides year-round tranquillity and instant access to nature — the perfect escape from the everyday.
The chalet is arranged over three levels, with the main living space, kitchen, bathroom, and one bedroom on the ground floor, all opening onto a sunny terrace. Upstairs is a bright master suite with its own bathroom. On the garden level, a professional kitchen, shower room and WC occupy a separate space with independent access — ideal for conversion into a guest apartment or for adding a third or fourth bedroom. A restaurant previously operated on the property and it may be possible to re-establish such use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. While vehicle access is seasonal (approximately 800m off-road), year-round parking is available at the nearby Col de l’Encrenaz car park.

Our opinion
This is one of those rare finds. The setting is genuinely special — completely private, with expansive grounds and captivating views you won’t tire of. It will appeal to buyers seeking a true mountain retreat, away from the crowds and with potential for further development. Yes, access requires a short walk in winter, but for the right buyer, that’s part of the charm: peace, space, and natural beauty, with skiing and Morzine within easy reach.Agency fees
