Chalet Chamaline

Children will love the play area in the lower half of the garden, while the sunny patio is the perfect place to enjoy a meal or simply admire the view from the hot tub.

Inside, the chalet has been beautifully designed with holidays in mind - spacious living areas, cosy bedrooms, stylish bathrooms and a useful home office where you can work remotely. Well-chosen art and finishing touches reflect the mountain location and add to the holiday feel.

About the property ...

Chalet Chamaline is a charming detached chalet for eight guests, with accommodation set over three, split-level floors.

As you enter on the ground floor, you'll find a large ski room with a heated boot rack and plenty of storage. There's also a useful laundry room and a shower room with a WC.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a hearty meal, and there's a large fridge-freezer with an ice and water dispenser. An island unit provides extra workspace and a breakfast bar, and there's plenty of room at the dining table for everyone to get together over dinner with views of the garden.

Two comfortable sofas and chairs make the seating area a comfortable place to get together for a catch-up after an active day in the mountains, or perhaps to watch a film. Doors open from this area on to the large terrace - there's a dining table for outdoor meals and a comfortable seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The garden has a level lawned area where children can plan, and there's a swing set in the lower garden.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor - a double room which can be arranged with a kingsize or twin beds, a room with two single beds and a master suite with an en suite shower room. There's also a separate bathroom.

There's another bedroom on the top floor with two single beds, as well as a play area for children and a home office, for those who'd like to work remotely while they are at Chalet Chamaline.

There is parking space for two for three cars just off the road outside the chalet.

About the Area ...

When you stay at Chalet Chamaline, you're less than 1km from the pistes and just a short walk from the ski bus stop.

The bus, which links Le Grand Bornand to the other Aravis resorts of La Clusaz and La Croix Fry, runs every 15 minutes between Chinaillon and Le Grand Bornand, and is free to use with your Aravis ski pass. This covers more than 220km of pristine pistes, in the resorts of Le Grand Bornand, La Clusaz and Manigod, so there's plenty of challenge for skiers and boarders of all abilities.

There are also plenty of cross-country trails - Le Grand Bornand is renowned for its cross-country and Nordic trails and skiers will appreciate being able too join and leave the trails directly from Chalet Chamaline.

Non-skiers won't be bored either - try hiking or snowshoeing, paragliding, hot-air ballooning, ice-skating or ice-climbing. Le Grand Bornand boasts the Famille Plus mark, ensuring that there is always plenty of entertainment and activities for even the youngest visitors.

In the summer, a network of walking and biking trails criss-cross the slopes, and you can pick up a route map for either at the tourist office. Le Grand Bornand has a beautiful nine-hole golf course with a great driving range, and on those very hot days, why not head for the fantastic swimming pool complex, with a restaurant and grassy areas for picnics.

If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, there’s a climbing school, via ferrata routes, a tree-top adventure park, canyoning, white-water rafting and paragliding all nearby.

August sees the international children’s festival - Au Bonheur des Mômes - in Le Grand Bornand, a week of magic shows, circus acts, theatre, games and workshops, with a grand firework finale. It’s always hugely popular, so make sure you book Chalet Chamaline early to guarantee a holiday you’ll never forget!
