La Ferme de Mila

Despite its quiet location, the chalet is not far from the main road which links La Clusaz to Le Grand Bornand, so you've got easy access to great skiing in both directions. It's just a 30-minute drive to Annecy and less than an hour to Geneva airport.

It's a short drive (or a 15-minute walk) to the village of Saint Jean de Sixt, where there are several shops, including a popular bakery, sports hire shops, delicatessen, post office, supermarket, bar and restaurants.

About the property ...

This superb three-storey farmhouse has been completely restored to provide luxurious accommodation for up to 14 guests, in six bedrooms with six bathrooms.

You'll enter on the lower ground floor, where you can leave your outdoor equipment in the ski and bike room. You could take a dip in the beautiful indoor counter-current pool, work out in the well-equipped gym, sweat it out in the sauna or step out onto the sunny terrace and enjoy the views from the hot tub.

There's also a laundry room, a shower and a WC on this floor.

Five of the six en suite bedrooms are on the first floor. There are four double bedrooms, two of which open on to the covered terrace and another with balcony access. There is also a room with two sets of bunk beds ideal for children - this room has an en suite shower room and also opens on to the covered terrace.

The final bedroom - a double room with an en suite shower room - is on the top floor, where you'll also find the huge, open-plan living area. A glass screen separates the well-equipped kitchen from the dining area, where there's room for everyone to enjoy meals together. In the spacious seating area, two large sofas are positioned in from of the three-sided fireplace, and there's another seating area where you can watch TV, play board games or curl up with a good book. This huge space opens on to a large balcony, where you can enjoy the wonderful views of the Aravis mountains over an aperitif, or perhaps a hot chocolate before bed.

There's a games and TV room on the mezzanine floor - a great place for children to make their own.

About the area ...

La Ferme de Mila is right in the heart of some great skiing - halfway between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand ski resorts (both just 10 minutes drive away), you can ski somewhere new every day. And if you've got beginners in your party, this is the perfect place to help them find their ski legs.

The Aravis ski pass also covers the Manigod area, giving you 220km of pistes of varying levels to explore, as well as extensive off-piste action. Nordic skiers will discover plenty of trails from St Jean de Sixt - in fact there's a 7km trail which passes just behind the chalet.

There's a free sledging run behind the town hall too! Non-skiers can go ice skating or swimming in La Clusaz, where the heated indoor and outdoor pools are open all year round, or try snowshoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides and the exciting ski-joering - skiing while being towed by a horse! After all that excitement why not enjoy some pampering at one of the two spas in La Clusaz or relax by your own private pool - you've earned it!

There's plenty to do here in the spring and summer too. St Jean de Sixt is one of only two places in the world where you can try Bun-J ride, a cross between ski jumping and bungee jumping! It's open all year round. Other more traditional pastimes are available too - marked footpaths crisscross the mountains, many starting right from your front door, or you can explore by mountain bike - take the lift to the top of the mountain then come back down at your own pace.

There are a number of mountain farms within a walk of the chalet, where you can see Reblochon cheese being made - you'll come away with a delicious treat for the walk back! If you're looking for something a little more challenging, there's a climbing school, via ferrata routes, tree-top adventure parks, canyoning, white-water rafting, horse-riding, karting and paragliding all nearby.
