Chalet Manoe

It's so quiet, it's sometimes hard to believe it's just 4km to the village of Manigod, where you will find a bakery, as well as a restaurant, and a concept cafe. Geneva airport is just an hour away.

The property ...

The traditional look of this lovely chalet hides a sleek and stylish interior that is the perfect base for a carefree mountain holiday.

With accommodation set over four floors, Chalet Manoe sleeps up to 12 (maximum 8 adults) in three double bedrooms and a fabulous children's room, with two sets of bespoke bunk beds, each with an extra drawer bed beneath.

There's a ski store with electric boot warmers for 12 pairs of skis, accessible from the parking. On this floor you'll also find a beautiful children's bedroom, and a very smart bathroom with a freestanding bath and double hand basins, and wc. One floor up there are three double bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room) and a stylish family bathroom with a gorgeous new double shower cubicle. All of the bedrooms have their own thermostats, so that you can have the temperature just as you like it, and there are reading lights and USB points beside each bed so that your phone is always fully charged.

The main living area is on the second floor, where you'll find a large open plan area with a sleek kitchen, dining area and comfy leather sofas around the large open fire. Underfloor heating throughout means you will always come back to a cosy house. There's another living room on the mezzanine under the eaves, with a flat screen television, which is a great place for younger guests to do their own thing.

Either side of the fireplace are patio doors which open on to the balcony - it's the perfect place to enjoy the fabulous views. In the winter, retreat to the cosy living area and enjoy a drink with friends.

About the area ...

When you stay at Chalet Manoe, you'll feel like you're a million miles from the hustle and bustle of larger ski resorts. In fact, you're just a short drive from the glistening pistes at La Croix Fry and La Clusaz.

Parking in La Croix Fry and Merdassier is free and plentiful. You can ski the whole of the Aravis ski area on one ski pass - 220km of perfect pistes linked by pistes and ski buses. Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails on the Beauregard plateau, and there's plenty to keep non-skiers busy too. Choose from sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides, or let your tensions float away in the beautiful heated outdoor/indoor swimming pool complex at La Clusaz, as the snow falls around you.

Back at Chalet Manoe, the sauna is the perfect place to chill out after all that action all year round!

The summer months are a great time to appreciate the tranquility of Chalet Manoe.

Sitting out in the garden, or perhaps enjoying a dip in the pool, all you can hear are birds singing and cowbells tinkling. But if you're looking for adventure, you'll be spoiled for choice in the beautiful Aravis mountains. Pack a picnic and enjoy walks from the door, or take the ski lift up into the mountains before walking or cycling back down.

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, or white-water rafting within a few miles of the chalet. For a family day out, try one or both of the Adventure Parks at Thônes or Talloires where you can experience the thrill of climbing on graded courses amongst the treetops whilst receiving information and training about security and having the support of trained guides.

Or take the next step, and have a go at via ferrata, a cross between hiking and climbing, where even children can safely explore the mountains via permanent routes built into the rock faces with cables, ladders and bridges to make sure you are always safe. There are via ferrata courses for a variety of ability levels at Thones, La Clusaz, and Chinaillon.

A day trip to medieval Annecy is a must. Set on the edge of the cleanest lake in Europe, this beautiful city has a good selection of unique shops, restaurants and galleries, as well as a wide range of water sports.

The less energetic might prefer to just people-watch from the beaches which dot the shores of the lake, enjoy a round of golf or hire a boat and explore the pretty lakeside villages.
