Chalet Antigone

The chalet has a good-sized garden, which is great for snow fun in the winter and for games and sunbathing in the warmer weather. The sheltered terrace, with a beautiful view of the Aravis mountains, means you can sit out, or even eat in the garden, whatever the weather. If it's too cold, gather inside around the fire.

Chalet Antigone is a great choice for guests with young families - the level, secure garden and a TV/games room on the second floor will be enjoyed by children.

About the property ...

Chalet Antigone sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms with two bathrooms, set over two floors.

The cosy open-plan living area on the ground floor is filled with light, thanks to the full length windows and doors overlooking the terrace and garden. Comfortable sofas and chairs are arranged around the fireplace, and there's a large dining table where everyone can sit down to eat together. A breakfast bar with stools separates this area from the well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you need to cook for a large group.

The first bedroom is also on the ground floor - a spacious room with a kingsize bed or twinable beds and an en suite shower room. There's also a useful laundry room and a separate toilet.

There are three more bedrooms on the first floor as well as a beautifully sunny TV and games room, with a picture window, where children can play or watch a film on Netflix. One of the bedrooms have kingsize bed and the others have twin beds. There's also a family bathroom on this floor with a separate WC.

There is parking in front of the chalet, as well as a garage with room to store bikes, skis and pushchairs etc.

About the area ...

Whether you've got young or older beginners in your ski party, St Jean de Sixt is the perfect place to help them find their ski legs, as weather allowing, it has its own small ski slope where novices can practice and gain confidence.

But there's plenty of challenge for skiers of all levels on the main slopes, and Chalet Antigone is well placed to make the most 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.

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 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.

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 pleasant walk of the chalet, where you can see the local Reblochon cheese being made - you'll come away with a delicious treat for the walk back! Cool off at the swimming pool complexes in Le Grand Bornand, La Clusaz and Thônes, or 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.
