Chalet Trusquin

Both Chinaillon and the neighbouring village of Le Grand Bornand (5km) have the Famille Plus label, so if you're travelling with young children, you can be certain that there will always be plenty going on to keep them entertained.

About the property ...

This contemporary, three-storey chalet sleeps up to 14 people in five en-suite bedrooms.

The main entrance takes you through the hall into a spacious open-plan living area. There's a spacious well-equipped kitchen with a cooking island and breakfast bar, as well as a separate pantry with a second freezer and a dishwasher. There's also a WC on this floor.

When dinner's ready, there's room for everyone to eat together at the large dining table or, in good weather, on the furnished terrace overlooking the mountains. After your meal, you could relax in the hot tub on the terrace or get together on the cosy sofas in front of the television.

There's a second seating area in the games room on the lower ground floor, which also has table football, darts, games and a pool table which can be easily converted for a game of table tennis. There's also a laundry room and a bike/ski room with a heated boot rack and plenty of storage, which is accessible from the outside. The first of the five bedrooms, a double room with an en suite shower room and a separate WC, can also be found on this floor.

There are four more bedrooms on the first floor, all of which have en suite shower rooms. There are two rooms for three people, each with a double and a single bed. One of these rooms also has a door on to the balcony. There's another spacious double room and a room with two bunk beds and two single beds, which is ideal for children. There's also a separate WC on the landing.

There's parking for one car in the garage and several more outside the chalet.

About the area...

Chalet Trusquin is about 1.2km from the ski lift at Chinaillon. The ski bus stops 150m from the chalet every 15 minutes, and it's just two stops to the pistes.

With your Aravis ski pass, you're free to explore the ski resorts of Le Grand Bornand, La Clusaz and Manigod - more than 200km of perfect pistes. Even closer is a great sledge run and the start of the cross-country ski piste. Beginners in this sport will love the nearby Evo Nordic Park, which has a circuit featuring a variety of terrains, while boarders will appreciate the Snowpark.

Non-skiers can go ice-skating in Le Grand Bornand or La Clusaz, or try snowshoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides.

At the end of a busy day, head back to your cosy chalet where there's nothing more magical than unwinding in the hot tub while the snow falls around you.

In the summer, a network of walking and biking trails cover the mountains around Chalet Trusquin, and you can pick up a route map for either at the tourist office in Chinaillon. For those who want to test their cycling stamina, the nearby Col de la Colombiere regularly features in the Tour de France. The stunning swimming pool complex at Le Grand Bornand has a lovely grassy area where you can enjoy a picnic, or try the cafe on site.

If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, there’s a climbing school, via ferrata routes, a tree-top adventure park, canyoning, white-water rafting and paragliding all nearby.

The medieval town of Annecy is a must for a day out, whatever the season. It offers a unique mix of shops, restaurants, galleries and museums, and Lake Annecy, said to be the cleanest lake in Europe, is a great place for watersports, swimming, cycling or just relaxing on the beach.

August sees the International Children’s Festival in Le Grand Bornand - a week of puppet shows, circus acts and workshops, with a grand firework finale. You’re in the heart of Reblochon country, so on your travels don’t forget to pick up some of this delicious cheese from a local farm or market!
