Frequently Asked Questions

Arrival & Parking

How many parking spaces are available at Chalet Tontine, and where should I park?

Chalet Tontine provides 2 outdoor parking spaces for guests. One spot is located directly in front of the main entrance, making it highly convenient for loading and unloading your car. The second spot is located in front of the first garage door right by the EV charger (please note there is currently no indoor garage space available for parking).

Important Parking Etiquette: Please do not block the private access road to the other half of the building, and do not park in front of the second garage door. Keeping this road completely clear is absolutely imperative when it snows so that the snowplow has unobstructed access all the way to the end of the private road.
