Catherine Breese
I am from Yorkshire originally and after doing a Sports Studies Degree in Newcastle, I decided it was time to improve my skiing, so I decided that I would do one season. As with so many other people one season goes into another and another… I was lucky and worked for several tour operators and worked in many resorts in France and Canada.
I spent 7 years working in ski resorts in the winter and travelling for the rest of the year. After doing a season in Chamonix, I realised that this was the place for me and so began Ski Breezy offering catered accommodation.
I managed to find the chalet in 2001 which was ideally suited for me, as it sleeps 10 people and with this size I knew I could easily run it on my own. Being from a Yorkshire family I have been brought up in a very sociable household, emphasis always on a warm welcome, plenty of excellent home cooking and flowing wine, which has helped in creating the atmosphere you will find in my chalet.
I have always been very actively involved in all sports and outdoor activities. I still continue to be able to enjoy these activities and love skiing, ski touring, rock climbing, mountain biking, tennis and walking. More recently I married Al who I met in Chamonix over 10 years ago. He is now my chief assistant in the chalet and like me he knows the Chamonix Valley extremely well.

Chalet D'Ile is a beautiful chalet set in its own private garden with plenty of private parking. It is a 10 minute flat walk along the river into Chamonix town centre so it has all the benefits of being in a quiet residential area and being able to access town by foot.
The chalet has wonderful views of Mont Blanc and the Aiguille.
The chalet has a relaxed and "home from home" feel about it. Run by Breezy and Al who will make sure you get the most out of your stay. Fantastic home cooking provided and Breezy's infamous cakes when you return from the slopes.
The chalet has an open plan living and dining area with open log fire and great views of Mont Blanc. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
There is a ski locker with heated boot warmers too.
Chamonix is a beautiful town at the base of Mont Blanc. If you are active people then Chamonix could well be the place for you?

The famous Aiguille du Midi is just over 5 minutes walk from the chalet.
