Purchased in the 1980's by Ann and John Lenton, and with only one floor completed, Chalet Benison began as an idea for a retreat for a busy family. As a sanctuary from John's travel-heavy career with a clear purpose for rest, restoration, and togetherness, Chalet Benison has been at the heart of countless family holidays and special moments.  Since purchasing, completing and upgrading the property, Ann and John have enthusiastically shared their special place with countless others.  Many of us have been enriched by their ever-flowing generosity and care - which has always felt particularly special at the chalet.  From simple meals to extravagant feasts, or a sympathetic ear and sage advice to book recommendations and competitive ping pong, we've been treated and included in the memory making with the breathtaking backdrop of the French Alps and with the most excellent company.

Benison means "blessing", and it has certainly meant that for so many of us for several decades. Now, the time has come for us (Phil and Ali) to "give it a go", and it is our hope to continue that open house tradition for many more years to come.  Whether you want to adventure in the snow, gather around the table, or simply "be", you are invited to use this home and continue to build memories and recuperate the Chalet Benison way. Please join us in our little Facebook community page (link to come!) to share ideas or local recommendations and do message us to see if we can accommodate your booking requests.
