About this chalet rental
WELCOME TO CHALET TRUMAN
Welcome to Chalet Truman, our much-loved alpine home in the peaceful hamlet of Les Albertans, just a short walk from beautiful Lac de Montriond and only a five-minute drive from the Ardent gondola. Whether you're planning a winter ski holiday, a summer adventure, or simply somewhere to relax and enjoy the mountains, Chalet Truman is perfectly placed to explore everything the Portes du Soleil has to offer.
We believe the chalet is over 200 years old and was originally built as a goat shepherd's retreat. It has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its original character, so expect exposed beams, cosy spaces and authentic alpine charm rather than a modern purpose-built chalet.

ABOUT US
We're Steve and Annie, and together with our three grown-up children we've spent many happy years exploring this beautiful valley in every season. We were fortunate enough to become the custodians of Chalet Truman in 2025 and have loved carefully restoring this wonderful former goat shepherd's retreat while preserving its unique character.
The recommendations in our guide are all places we or our friends have enjoyed and are the ones we'd happily suggest to our own family and friends. We hope you'll enjoy making your own mountain memories here, whether that's skiing in winter, swimming in the lake during summer, or simply sitting outside listening to the cowbells with a morning coffee.
Chalet Truman isn't about polished perfection—it's about authentic alpine living. It's a place for long days outdoors, cosy evenings by the fire, and making lasting memories with family and friends. If you're looking for a characterful mountain home in an exceptional location, we'd be delighted to welcome you.
