"La Bal Eteillaz", was first built around 1930 and was the first chalet to be built on the Chavanne hill. In 1936 the top half was destroyed by fire and re-built. We believe it remained untouched and unloved until we bought the chalet in May 2004.

We have retained as much as possible of the original character - including the Boisery (woodwork) in the lounge, the hand carved beams, and the end grain flooring.

This picture was taken in May 2004, before any work began. First improvements were:

Connection to mains services, Bathrooms, Kitchen, Decoration

This is our home - a never ending project. Now all bedrooms are ensuite, fully double glazed, the roof is insulated!, additional balconies and patio doors. New kitchen installed and lounge floor redone.

Next jobs will be.... Landscaping the garden and driveway.
