Heidi country

I helped my mate move into his new place this morning, and wow. Proper Heidi country it is. He’s renting the top floor of a chalet from a friend of ours, Andy. Andy bought the place earlier this year and has a plan to convert the place into a top shelf holiday chalet over the next few years. It’s something he and his girlfriend have already done before with this place;

They are currently living in the bottom floor of the new place with their 3 dogs, and my mate has taken on the top floor for a wile. It’s a really beautiful thing, this chalet, right out the back of Les Houches, up the hill and looking down onto the valley below you can see right down into Chamonix and the Houches. It’s secluded, and remote – the steep winding road up there is going to need snow-chains at least in the winter, but it might even only be accessible by 4×4.

I’m jealous. I want one of those! I’ve got my current place until June next year, but when that comes up, I’d really like to be in the position to buy a chalet like that. I don’t think I want to convert it into a ski-chalet for punters though – I want to live there.
