Location
Chalet Les Pelerins is set back from Route des Pelerins, a quiet, tranquil part of Chamonix with stunning views of both Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi. Despite the peaceful surroundings the Chalet is only a pleasant 15 minute walk from Place Balmat (the very centre of Chamonix).
All five Chamonix ski areas are easily accessible from the chalet using the local Chamonix bus service. Line 2 which services the route between neighboring village Les Bossons and the furthest ski area, Le Tour, stops opposite the hospital, which is only 50 meters from Chalet Les Pelerins. The Line 2 bus runs every 30 minutes between 06:30am and 8:00pm Monday to Saturday, all year round. During the season the bus runs once an hour on Sundays and bank holidays. Line 2 will take you to the ski areas in Les Praz/Flegere, Argentière and Le Tour.
To get to Brevent ski area you will have to take Line 14 from Chamonix Sud.
In order to encourage people to take the bus and make your trips in the valley easier, the use of Chamonix Bus is completely free (except Chamo'Nuit and special buses).
The nearest bar (800 meters) is the “Jeckyll” – always a nice atmosphere, great selections of beers and good food. The nearest restaurant is the excellent “l’Impossible” and is next door to the Jeckyll.
The main bakery of Chamonix “Fournil Chamoniard” is just 3 mins walk away. It opens from 6:00am so you can get your baguettes & croissants – be warned though, the cake selection is highly addictive!
