Property tour
Chalet Backflip ...
This beautiful apartment for 10 guests is one of two that have been carefully created in this old farm building, just minutes from the slopes in the peaceful Gotty area of La Clusaz. Both of the apartments are completely independent.
You can walk to the Piste de l'Envers, just 350m away, and the ski bus stops 100m away, giving you easy access to the 220km of the Aravis ski area.
In the summer, there are fabulous walks from your doorstep, and the centre of La Clusaz is just a walk or cycle away (1.5km). There you'll find a great selection of bars, restaurants and shops.
There is parking for several cars at the chalet. Please note that there is no garden and no terrace for this property.
Groups of up to 24 people can book this chalet with the neighbouring apartment, Chalet Frontflip, which sleeps 10, and the Chalet Sideflip, which sleeps four.
IMPORTANT: The Backflip rental is in a chalet consisting of two apartments, in a residential area. To preserve the comfort of all and respect the neighbourhood, parties are not allowed on the property. This property is best suited to families.Thank you for your understanding.
About the property ...
The accommodation at Chalet Backflip is set over two floors, with four bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms.
On the ground floor you'll find the double garage, a ski room where you can leave your outdoor gear and a useful laundry room with a washing machine and dryer. There's also a WC, a shower room and a sauna where you can relax at the end of an active day in the mountains.
Stairs lead up to the second floor, where you'll find a beautiful open plan living area opens on to a balcony. A cosy L-shaped sofa and chairs are arranged around the television, the perfect place to get together after dinner to plan your next exciting day in the mountains.
A central fireplace and original beams separate this area from the dining area, where there is room for everyone to sit down and eat together. The well-equipped kitchen is off to one side, and has everything you need to cater for a large group.
The four bedrooms lead off from the living area. At the front of the chalet are two double rooms, each with a shower room (one with a WC) and access to the balcony. There's another smaller double room with a shower room and a children's room for four, with two single beds and a set of bunk beds. There's also a separate shower room with a WC.
Please be aware that the apartment offers no view over the mountains, no garden and no decked terrace.
About the area ...
When you stay at Chalet Backflip there's a great choice of winter sports just minutes from your doorstep.
The ski bus stops 100m away, making this a superb base for families and groups of friends who ski at different levels and want to visit different ski areas. There are nursery slopes, gentle blues and cross country trails on Beauregard, while more experienced skiers and boarders will find plenty of challenge at the popular La Balme area.
Non skiers will also be able to take advantage of the ski bus to visit cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops or try activities such as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides. There's also an ice rink in La Clusaz and a cinema which shows films in French and English.
If you're looking for the ultimate in relaxation, let your cares float away in the heated outdoor pool at La Clusaz, while the snow falls gently around you.
There's just as much to do at Chalet Backflip if you visit in the spring and summer, when the pistes are transformed into lush pastures criss-crossed by hiking and biking trails.
Take a hike into the Col des Aravis, or to the base of the via ferrata from the front door, and you may spot chamois or marmots. Enjoy the magnificent views across to the Mont Blanc chain from various points along the Col.
If you don't fancy the long climb, some parts of the ski lift system open during the summer to ferry you and your bike into the mountains of La Clusaz or Merdassier, then you can descend at your own pace. For a really special day out, you can hire donkeys from a farm on the Col des Aravis for a day's trekking, or try horse-riding, climbing or paragliding.
Just 35 minutes away, the medieval city of Annecy offers a great choice of shops, restaurants, galleries and museums, as well as swimming, boating, golf and watersports in the cleanest lake in Europe.
At the end of the day, relax over a meal in a local restaurant, or perhaps a barbecue and a glass of wine on the terrace of chalet Backflip as the sun sinks behind the peaks.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Backflip is a four-bedroom, five bathroom apartment for up to 10 guests.
The location, opposite the chapel in the Gotty area of La Clusaz, is perfect for skiers in the winter, as it's just 350m from the nearest slope and the ski bus stops 100m away. Chalet Backflip is just as convenient in the summer, when you can hike or bike into the Aravis mountains, or stroll into La Clusaz to visit the market, pick up some shopping or enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants.
The majority of the accommodation is on the second floor of the building, with two flights of stairs, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
We love the ground floor ski room, laundry room and sauna - after a day on the slopes, you can leave your outdoor gear in the ski room, jump in the shower and head for the sauna to relax before dinner.
The beautiful living area of Chalet Backflip invites you to get together for a chat on the squishy sofa or enjoy a meal at the huge dining table. The three double bedrooms each have their own stylish shower room, and younger children will love their bunk room, which sleeps four - they get their own separate shower room.
There's plenty of parking at the chalet, as well as a double garage, but the proximity to the bus stop and the village means you won't have to use your car if you'd prefer not to.

From the owner
Alexandra
I discovered La Clusaz 30 years ago and totally fell in love with it! You will find plenty to do here, even if you don't ski.
I wanted to make my home a friendly, pleasant and comforting place where you can feel at home.
I hope that you will experience, like me, moments filled with love and joy.
Have a wonderful holiday.

Guest reviews
“Luxury in the mountains”
Chalet Backflip is splendid! We loved the deco and the quality of the equipment.
“A really beautiful chalet”
Perfectly equipped. We had a great stay practicing biathlon.
“A perfect family weekend getaway”
An excellent weekend spent with family in an impeccable chalet, superbly equipped and decorated. We were welcomed by Céline who showed great kindness. She is very dedicated and available. We enjoyed the sauna, the spacious living room, an ideal place to spend warm evenings in front of the fireplace, 3 cozy bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The large garage allowed us to take our little girl out of the car away from the cold.
