The Chalet has a wonderful views, our room was a little small for two, but the house is well located. The attention is perfect. The bathroom is downstairs, that is a litte uncomofortable.
I will recommend this place.

About La Source Backpackers Chalet
Bringing budget chalet accommodation to an exclusive resort. Unique in Chamonix, we have integrated hostel-style ambience and guesthouse hospitality within a traditional alpine setting, a short walk from the centre of town. The small group of chalets in which La Source is located, were built before the surrounding forest was declared a National Park - making them the only secluded and forested Chalets this close to Chamonix town. This also gives them arguably the best views of the Mt.Blanc peaks opposite. However, La Source is the only Chalet geared for the adventurous traveller and independant backpacker, where we have direct links with the best local mountain guides and activity providers
This is a quaint and rustic chalet set for comfort, without the expense of unnecessary luxuries. The kitchen and bathroom were recently refurbished and equipped with NEW Induction stove, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. And you connect to our unlimited WiFi.
The communal living and dining area is furnished with a lounger, bean bags, reclining chairs and a mixture of other seating to help you relax and admire the peaks opposite. We don't have a TV! It's not the spirit of the chalet - instead there is a soundsystem you can connect your laptop or iPod to. There are plenty of books and games too. Wonderful views of the Chamonix peaks. Heated ski & boot room. BBQ & hammocks in the garden.

This place is in a fantastic location with stunning views of the surrounding mountains..the views could not be topped. It's about 10 minute walk to town, but this makes the location even better as it is very peaceful and tranquil. Great access to hikes
The rooms were very small, and the matress that I had dipped severly in the middle. The kitchen is tiny but due to the fact few others cooked it was sufficient. The toilet and bathroom are also very small.
The living area is a nice space with windows opeing onto a small verandah where you can eat your meals or have a quiet wine or beer.

This chalet has only 3 rooms so there's a really friendy atmosphere in the evening where you can chat to the others staying there. It is about 10 minutes walk from town but has a fantastic view of the mountains from the lounge (and a sofa to sit and watch them from). Oliver who looks after the place knows the area really well and is happy to answer/help with any queries. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time at Chalet La Source. Great atmosphere in the chalet with big windows and balcony view over the town and Mont Blanc - spectacular! Communal area has lounges, bar fridge, stereo and a big table for meals. Great for a book, a beer or a party! Oliver is a natural host. He made everything easy for us - cooked some great food and has all the tips for Chamonix.
Simple but comfortable rooms upstairs - everything is clean and well maintained. Good little kitchen if you want to cook. Brilliant value for money!! I would thoroughly recommend La Source and hope to get back myself.
La Source Chalet was a fantastic place to stay! It is in a great location with fantastic views over the valley towards Mont Blanc. An excellent place to see the sun and moon rise over the mountains! It was great to be able to get breakfast if you wanted and the 'honesty' bar system was good. Oliver made our stay very comfortable and he gave lots of great information about the local area. It is a small chalet and you will get to know your fellow visitors. Highly recommended!
