There are plenty more shops and restaurants in Thônes, which is just a 10-minute drive away.

Whenever you decide to visit Chalet Chamallow, you'll receive a warm welcome, and you certainly won't have time to be bored.

Please note that parties are not permitted at Chalet Chamallow, and for the consideration of the neighbours, please do not use the hot tub after 10pm.

About the property ...

The wonderful Chalet Chamallow has been designed as the ideal holiday base for several families or a large group of friends.

The main living area on the ground floor has an open plan kitchen with a dishwasher and all the equipment you could need to cook for a hungry crowd. In the warm and welcoming living area, cosy sofas and armchairs are arranged around the woodburning stove and the large screen HD TV, with a DVD player. There's also a large dining table, where you can all sit down to eat together. The dining area opens on to the large terrace and lawn beyond - there's another large dining table here where you can eat out in good weather.

The large hot tub on the terrace is the ideal place to relax and take in the wonderful views.

There's a games area on the ground floor too, with a Nintendo Switch games console, a DVD player for movie nights, and table football. There's also a useful laundry room.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, all of which can be arranged with twin beds or a kingsize bed - just let us know what you would prefer. All of the bedrooms have an en suite shower room, and there are two separate toilets.

The two bedrooms on the second floor can each accommodate three people, and have their own bathrooms. There's also a lovely reading room which, being at the top of the chalet, has the best views.

There is parking space at the chalet.

About the area ...

The family-friendly ski station of La Croix Fry (altitude 1500m) is just 4km from Chalet Chamallow, and parking is free. There’s an ESF ski school at La Croix Fry and the nursery slopes are perfect for youngsters to learn on, but there is also plenty of challenge for more experienced skiers, who can ski the circuit around to La Clusaz. There are also several bars and restaurants where you can refuel before moving on.

Your Aravis/La Clusaz ski pass gives you access to 95 lifts and 220km of pistes, so there’s always somewhere new to discover.

Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails to choose from, and non-skiers are not forgotten, with a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, ice skating rink and cinema at La Clusaz, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides all nearby.

After a busy day exploring the mountains, Chalet Chamallow is the perfect retreat - you can watch the sunset from the hot tub, or perhaps even spot shooting stars over the Manigod valley.

In the summer, you can explore the mountains and the pine forests by foot or by bike. There are quite a few marked footpaths criss-crossing this beautiful farming valley, but if you want to make the most of the altitude, put your bike on the ski lift at La Clusaz and come back down at your own pace, or pack a picnic and explore the Beauregard plateau.

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, or white-water rafting within a few miles of Manigod. Via ferrata is another great family day out, with adults and children able to explore the mountains on iron walkways, secured to a harness. If you'd prefer to take life at a slower pace, why not go on a donkey trek in the Col des Aravis - the donkeys will even carry your picnic.

For a complete contrast to the mountains, head to the medieval lakeside town of Annecy. Less than 40 minutes away by car, explore the beautiful canals and shops or head for the lake, where you can try a range of water sports, enjoy a cruise, hire a boat or just have a lazy day on one of the many beaches dotted around the waterline.
