Chalet Genepi and chalet Sara Marie are beautiful alpine chalets set in stunning scenery in Les Menuires, situated close to Val Thorens, St Martin de Belleville and Meribel. Their ideal location allows easy access to the vast Three Valleys which, with over 600km of piste, is the largest ski area in the world. In the summer, the Three Valleys transforms into a playground for summer activities, ranging from mountain biking and walking to white water rafting and kayaking to parapenting and fishing.
 

The chalets are about 1 hour 45 minutes’ drive from Chambery Airport, and 2 hours 30 minutes’ drive from Lyon and Geneva airports, and are also particularly well placed for self drivers.

The atmosphere at Silver Lining Chalets is informal and friendly, with an average of 20 - 25 guests in the winter in our two chalets. Imagine relaxing with friends around an open log fire after a delicious dinner prepared from fresh local produce by our chefs.

A spiral staircase leads up to four large bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and two have three single beds in each. The sauna is on the ground floor.

The chalet is detached so children and adults can make as much noise as they like, and there is plenty of outdoor space for playing in the snow! The chalet is non-smoking. Ashtrays are provided on the balconies.
 

Food is important to us and we aim to spoil you during your stay. Our chefs offer a variety of traditional British food and introduce some regional French dishes. Your chalet hosts are experienced cooks with a passion for great food and we hope you will enjoy the meals they prepare for you in the evenings as much as you do your daytime pursuits.

Our chalets are catered to a high standard and your holiday price includes full English cooked and continental style breakfasts, afternoon homemade cakes or scones with coffee, tea or hot chocolate, four course evening meals including cheese and wine on six evenings and a fruit bowl everyday. In order to maintain the informal and relaxed dinner-party atmosphere, we also eat with our guests.

Lunchtimes you are out on the slopes so you can choose to eat in one of the many mountain restaurants.

At your request the chalet hosts will provide children with a simpler evening meal at the earlier time of 6pm. Unless requested otherwise, the main evening meal will be served at 7pm.
