Chalet Management

At Châtel Chalets we provide a variety of services for owners whose principal residence is not in the Vallee d’Abondance, making owning and running a second property easier and less stressful.

Key holding
Our keyholding service offers property owners the peace of mind that, should the need arise, the property can be accessed at any time.
If the property is for sole use of the owner we keep one set of keys.
If guests are using the property we will require two or three sets of keys. We can arrange for additional sets to be cut as necessary.
The keyholding service offered in our basic monthly management fee includes:
- Regular property checks. Checking for any problems or signs of intrusion by insects or animals
- Heating turned on and off before and after visits
- Mains and hot water turned on and off before and after visits. If the gap between visits is less than two weeks we advise leaving water and heating on to save money, especially during colder months.
Meet and greet
We meet your guests upon arrival, furnish them with keys and explain all relevant information about the property e.g. where to store skis or the Wi-Fi code for the internet
