About this chalet rental
The "1898" is a beautiful and very comfortable independent alpine chalet in a small hamlet surrounded by nature and located 400m from the center of Valmeinier 1800 resort. It has been completely renovated in 2017 with care. The cottage is rated * * * * for 9 people by the Ministry of Tourism. Very sunny, in the summer it is at the start of the treks of the Neuvache Valley classified Natura 2000 and the tour of Mount Thabor. In winter, it enjoys direct access, ski-in ski-out, on the slopes of the Galibier-Thabor ski area (160 km of slopes, between 1430 and 2750m above sea level) and snowshoe trails. In winter, it can be accessed on skis or on foot via the ski slope and a snow-covered path (400m, 8 minutes downhill).
The chalet combines traditional architecture and aesthetic quality with the principles of the circular economy and the latest techniques of insulation. The stones of the ruin were recovered and admirably rested one by one and by hand. All the craftsmen who have been renovated are from the valley, possessing a precise and unique knowledge.
Spacious and comfortable, this chalet accommodates up to ten people. Skier or not, in winter as in summer, its mountaineer offers many opportunities to relax.

The house is great, fully furnished, nearby the slopes and in a very quiet area (located in a natural reserve). Carrying the luggage and groceries/waste up&down is a bit of a hassle but we knew this in advance… cleaning between guests could be a little more thorough

We had a very nice week at the chalet du desert d'en haut. We loved the skiing area and the chalet was very practical for us as we could ski from and back to the chalet directly.
Unfortunately the hammam did not work and a few items in the kitchen were broken or absent. The wifi code had to be obtained from the owner directly - a bit of a fuss but in the whole it is a very modern and well thought chalet. We loved our stay.

The Chalet is modernly renovated and has a beautiful view on the mountains. You can see the people go down the pistes! Nice fireplace and well equipped kitchen.In winter you have to carry your luggage down piste and over a small snowy path. This trip is far more than 30m, it’s 400-500 meter. So think well about this before booking! Also we thought the furniture is not so comfortable, the couch too small for 9 and the dining table is also just for 7.But loved the scenery and skiing!
