Perfect stay in the middle of the nature
The place is marvellous! We stayed for 1 week and wish we would return there. Now our future travel is complicated -- to find something at the similar level of Jean-Luc's chalet is really challenging.
There are two chalets: Chalet du Bucheron for 5 pers, located lower, and Chalet du Schlitteur for 4 pers, located higher. Each chalet is rented independently, and there is enough space around the house to not to feel to close to the other guests.
About the sauna: it is adjacent to the lower chalet (Bucheron), but it has a separate entry. It takes time to heat the sauna to the normal 80ºC - 90ºC. I'm not an expert, and it took me 4 hours to reach the temperature, then 1 hour more to let it dry. It took me about two crates full of wood to get it done. Don't repeat my mistake I did the first time, and start heating the sauna early, ideally around 1pm - 2pm. We stayed in the upper chalet, and the lower one was free during our stay. If you want to make a sauna and you're not alone there, you'll need to coordinate with other guests.
Jean-Luc is master of wood, and the chalet he built are the unique houses.
