Homely Chalet Chenavray is a traditional alpine chalet only 5 minutes drive from the mountain village of Manigod, with panoramic views across to Charvin, Val Sulen and La Tournette mountain ranges. You can quickly unwind in this spacious and beautifully furnished chalet. Kick off your shoes in front of the cosy woodburner or catch a nap on one of the comfortable sofas. The chalet has its very own sauna for some cleansing and relaxing 'me time'. It also has a rejuvenating jacuzzi bath, WIFI, flat screen TV, DVD, English and French satellite and many other features to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible. It even has a dressing room, laundry room and balconies. Every detail has been considered in this lovely property.
Manigod village has a fantastic boulangerie that makes mouth-watering breads, pastries and the essential croissants and the excellent Val Sulens restaurant serves fresh, local dishes such as Raclette and Tartiflette. Less than an hour from Geneva, the region provides a superb all-season base.
In winter there's a huge ski area to enjoy with a fabulous snow record. La Clusaz and Grand Bornand share a single Aravis Ski pass that provides 220km of skiing and 95 lifts with slopes suitable for all levels including extensive off-piste areas. You can be on the La Clusaz pistes in under 10 mins and enjoy free parking - alternatively the ski bus stops just outside the chalet.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy in summer too ranging from mountain-biking, alpine walking and horse-riding through to mountaineering, climbing and paragliding. There's also high-wire forest adventure centres for the whole family to enjoy. With such a vast expanse of tracks, trails, paths and sky across fragrant alpine meadows you'll never run out of fresh challenges to go for.
Whatever the season, Medieval Annecy with its pretty network of canals and picturesque lake is just 30 minutes away. Soak up the carnival atmosphere, browse the quaint shops and markets or escape the city's hubbub onto one of the many international-standard golf courses. The lake itself has some fabulous beaches and offers kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, waterskiing and fishing for water-lovers. And what a backdrop! There's much more to explore in the region besides. No matter which outdoor activities you're into, you're sure to have a fantastic holiday at any time of the year.
