Chalet 65bis

About the property ...

Up to six people will find a great level of comfort at two-storey Chalet 65bis, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

An external staircase takes you to the first-floor entrance, which leads straight into the open-plan living area with an impressive beamed ceiling. A sofa and several chairs are arranged around a group of tables, with a television hung on the wall. There's also a work station which is perfect for those who want to work remotely during their stay.

The other end of the room is devoted to a bright and well-equipped kitchen with a central island and breakfast bar and a view of the mountains. There is plenty of room for six people at the dining table, which separates the kitchen from the seating area.

The first of the bedrooms is on this floor - it's a double room with an en suite shower room and separate WC.

There are two more bedrooms on the lower floor - a double room with an en suite shower and WC, and a twin room with an en suite bathroom.There's also a utility room on this floor, with a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer. All of the bath and shower rooms are well-appointed and recently fitted.

Outside, you'll find a large flat garden which is laid to lawn. It's a great place to soak up the sun while the children play. In the winter, it's sure to be the scene of some great snowball fights! There's also a furnished terrace and another shady area with a dining table.

There is a parking area at the side of the house for up to three cars, and a separate room for storing ski equipment and bikes.

About the area ...

Chalet 65bis is in a great location to make the most of the winter sports offered in the Aravis ski resorts. Just 20 minutes (12km) from the ski stations of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, you can ski somewhere new every day. Your 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. Parking is available at the ski stations, or use the network of ski buses, which are free with your Aravis ski pass or the Carte d’hote.

Cross-country skiers will discover a great variety of trails from nearby St-Jean-de-Sixt - pick up a map from the village tourist office.

With the charming town of Thônes on your doorstep, non-skiers are particularly well catered for at Chalet 65bis. The town has plenty of shops and restaurants and a cinema, as well as a packed programme of entertainment in summer and winter. If you fancy exploring the mountains, try snow-shoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides.

In the summer, a holiday at Chalet 65bis offers you the best of both worlds - mountain adventure and lakeside relaxation.There are great walking and biking trails in the mountains around Thônes, or you could drive to the beautiful village of Menthon St Bernard on the banks of Lake Annecy in 20 minutes. Annecy itself is just a little further away.

St-Jean-de-Sixt is one of the few places where you can try Bun-J ride, a cross between ski jumping and bungee jumping. Other more traditional pastimes are available too - marked footpaths crisscross the mountains, or you can explore by mountain bike or on horseback.

There are indoor and outdoor swimming pool complexes in Thônes, Le Grand Bornand and La Clusaz, or if you're looking for something a little more challenging, there are climbing schools, via ferrata routes, tree-top adventure parks, canyoning, white-water rafting and paragliding all nearby.
