Madame Vacances Les Chalets du Berger Premium***
Heated pool and balconies above the Bauges slopes
About this hotel
Chalets du Berger Premium plays the quiet card. The units are aparthotel-style, each with a kitchenette, a private bathroom, a balcony and parquet floors underfoot, so it feels more like a small flat than a hotel room. The heated indoor pool is the anchor of the place: come in from a morning on the Bauges slopes, drop the boots at the door, and swim while the cold sets in outside. Free WiFi covers the whole building and parking is included, so there is no juggling a car outside in the snow. Chambéry-Savoie Airport sits around 30 km away, which makes arrival day painless for anyone flying in rather than driving up from Lyon or Geneva. Couples in particular rate the location highly, and the mood stays calm rather than crowded, chalet-style rather than corporate.
- Heated indoor pool
- Kitchenette aparthotel units
- Balconies with parquet floors
- Free on-site parking
Our take
This suits couples and anyone chasing a calm base near the Massif des Bauges pistes rather than a lively one. The kitchenette and balcony units work well for longer stays, and the heated pool earns its keep after a cold morning outside. Families after ski-in convenience or dedicated ski storage should look at Les Balcons d'Aix instead, since that side of things is not what this address is built around.
- Book a balcony unit facing away from the car park, the outlook makes the extra cost worth it in daylight hours.
- Use the heated pool right after your last run, it is the fastest way to warm up before dinner.
- Land at Chambéry-Savoie Airport if you can, the 30 km transfer beats the longer drive from Lyon or Geneva.
Why we love it
- A genuinely heated indoor pool, not just tepid
- Kitchenette units for real self-catering flexibility
- Parquet floors and balconies in every unit
- Free parking a short drive from Chambéry
Why guests love itWhat stands out at Chalets du Berger Premium is how little effort the mornings take. Skis stay close, boots come off at the door, and the heated pool turns a cold Bauges afternoon into something worth lingering over. The kitchenette means dinner does not have to mean a drive back into La Féclaz after dark. It reads as a base for couples or two families sharing space, more than a solo skier's crash pad, and the calm pace is deliberate rather than a compromise.
