Chalet Mahouet

There is parking for several cars at the chalet.

About the property ...

The accommodation at Chalet Mahouet 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.

About the area ...

When you stay at Chalet Mahouet 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 Mahouet 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 Mahouet as the sun sinks behind the peaks.
