About the property ...

This bright and modern chalet has plenty of space for nine guests, with accommodation arranged over three floors.

Head down to the lower ground floor from the main entrance, and you'll find three bedrooms: two double rooms with doors to the lower terrace and a single room with a desk. There's also a WC and a bathroom with a bath, a separate small shower, and a washbasin.

On the ground floor, the front door opens into the spacious hall with a WC. On your right steps lead down to the elegant and seating area, where two L-shaped sofas covered in cushions and throws are the perfect place to watch TV or enjoy a cosy conversation in front of the fire. There's also a home office area for anyone wishing to work remotely. Glass doors on two sides of this area fill the room with light and open on to the balcony - the owners have thoughtfully provided binoculars so that you can make the most of the stunning view.

The sleek and stylish kitchen has everything you need to cook up a delicious meal. There's also a breakfast bar, a cooking island and a walk-in pantry with plenty of fridge and freezer space. The dining table overlooks the living area and doors to the large upper terrace, a lovely place to eat when the weather permits.

This floor also has a sauna, a shower and a laundry room.

An elegant wooden, spiral staircase (challenging for very young children and seniors) leads to the first floor, which has access to the former garage - now a games and play room with a pool table, fitness equipment, a sofa and a television. There are also two bedrooms on this floor - a large double room with doors to a small balcony overlooking the terrace and another bedroom with two single beds. These rooms share a shower room with a washbasin and WC.

There's plenty of room to park up to four cars outside the chalet.

About the area ...

You'll have an great choice of winter and summer sports right on your doorstep when you stay at Chalet Paravis

The ski bus stops just 300m the chalet, making this a superb base for families and groups of friends who ski at different levels and want to visit different ski areas. There are nursery slopes, gentle blues and cross country trails on Beauregard, while more experienced skiers and boarders will find plenty of challenge at the popular La Balme area.

Even if you're not skiing, you can use the ski bus to visit cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops or try activities such as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides. There's also an ice rink in La Clusaz and a cinema which shows films in French and English.

If you're looking for the ultimate in relaxation, let your cares float away in the heated outdoor pool at La Clusaz, while the snow falls gently around you.

There's just as much to do at Chalet Paravis if you visit in the spring, summer and autumn, when the pistes are transformed into lush pastures criss-crossed by hiking and biking trails.

Take a hike into the Col des Aravis, or to the base of the via ferrata, and you may spot chamois or marmots. Enjoy the magnificent views across to the Mont Blanc chain from various points along the Col.

If you don't fancy the long climb, some parts of the ski lift system open across the summer to ferry you and your bike into the mountains of La Clusaz or Merdassier, then you can descend at your own pace. For a really special day out, you can hire donkeys from a farm on the Col des Aravis for a day's trekking, or try horse-riding, climbing and paragliding.

Just 35 minutes from Chalet Paravis, the medieval town of Annecy offers a great choice of shops, restaurants, galleries and museums, as well as swimming, boating, golf and watersports on the cleanest lake in Europe.

At the end of the day, relax over a meal in a local restaurant, or perhaps enjoy a barbecue and a glass of wine on the terrace of your chalet as the sun sinks behind the peaks.
