Chalet Fernuy

This spacious chalet has been cleverly designed, resulting in a stunning contemporary interior with some unique features, and is decorated to make it a wonderfully relaxing space where you can wind down at the end of an active day in the mountains.

Chalet Fernuy is a great base for groups of friends or families with older children who want to make the most of the mountain activities on offer in the French Alps, but with easy access to all the  shops, restaurants and bars of La Clusaz.

About the property...

The spacious Chalet Fernuy is set over three floors. The open-plan, double-height living area on the ground floor is filled with light, thanks to large windows and patio doors. The seating area around the woodburner has plenty of cushions and throws, there are doors to the balcony where you can make the most of the late sunshine. A lovely leafy tree canopy frame makes the view extra special from this floor. The compact kitchen is fully equipped, and has a breakfast bar where guests can sit and chat with the chef, or help prep dinner. The dining table seats 10, so you can all sit down to eat together. There's a double bedroom on this floor, with an en suite shower room, and a separate toilet.

The four remaining bedrooms are upstairs: a master suite with a dressing room and en suite bathroom; a twin room with a Jack and Jill bathroom, ie shared between two bedrooms, with doors entering from each room. One of the twin rooms can be prepared as a single or a twin room, and is probably best suited for one or two children. The final bedroom looking out to the rear of the property is a large double room, which can be made up with a king-size bed or two singles, and a sofa. There's also a fabulous office space on this floor - if you have to work while staying at the chalet, you will at least be rewarded with the most amazing views!

There's a fantastic extra living area on the lower ground floor, which has rather a "clubhouse" feel to it - squishy leather sofas, a bar, TV, board games, table football and darts make it a great place for kids of all ages to hang out!

The utility room is a good space for drying outdoor gear. There is a heated rack for five pairs of ski boots, and plenty of space to store skis, bikes, golf clubs etc in the garage.

There's a terrace for outside dining off the main living floor, seating and sunbathing areas and the stunning nordic hot tub terrace. There is also plenty of space for children to let off steam in the meadow behind the house. Chalet Fernuy is one of the last properties in a quiet cul de sac, so there is very little passing traffic.

About the area... 

When you stay at Chalet Fernuy you're in a perfect location, just minutes from La Clusaz and overlooking the popular La Balme ski field - a favourite with our visitors and French freeride world champion Candide Thovex.

It's just a short drive back from La Balme and parking is free, if you’d rather not drive, the ski bus stops just 100m from the chalet, putting the whole of the Aravis ski resorts at your disposal. Be aware that at certain times of the winter the commune make the section of road between Chalet Fernuy and the parking at La Balme one way, so you will have to drive or take the bus around the circuit. Your Aravis ski pass will give you access to more than 220 km of superb pistes and 95 lifts in the stations of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Manigod.

Cross-country skiers and snowshoe walkers will find great terrain at the nearby Lac des Confins and the Beauregard plateau.

If you fancy a break from the pistes, La Clusaz has an outdoor ice rink, heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a spa centre, and a cinema. If you’re looking for a something different, try sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides, all within a few miles of your holiday home.

Chalet Fernuy is also the perfect base for the Défi Foly competition at the end of April, when skiers round off the season by seeing how far they can ski across the normally partially frozen Lac des Confins!

If you are visiting in the summer, there is no shortage of fun and adventure within a few minutes of Chalet Fernuy. Take the lift up into the mountains for some high-altitude hiking or biking, or try white-water rafting, canyoning, via ferrata and para-gliding in the La Clusaz area.

There are plenty of gentle walks in the Lac des Confins area, where you will also find a tennis club, golf course, driving range, fishing and a riding centre.

The crystal-clear waters of Lake Annecy are just 40 minutes drive away, making it a great place for a day out - you can swim and fish in the lake, windsurf or just hire a boat and explore the lakeside beaches.
