Chalet Ours Rouge ...
Relax in the sauna or hot tub after a day in the mountains when you stay at this contemporary 4 star chalet for 11 in the wonderful French Alps. There's also an impressive cinema with a full projection system where you can get together to watch a film after dinner.
Chalet Ours Rouge is conveniently situated between the villages of Le Grand Bornand (2.5km) and Chinaillon (3.2km), both of which have access to great skiing, hiking and biking. And if you don't want to use your car, you can hop on the shuttle bus, which is free with your Aravis ski pass.
Whenever you decide to visit, you won't be short of things to do. Le Grand Bornand and Chinaillon are part of the Aravis ski area, along with La Clusaz and Manigod. You'll have 220km of pistes to explore on one ski pass. And there's still plenty to discover when the snow melts, with a network of mountain trails as well as other activities such as climbing, via ferrata, canyoning and paragliding.
Le Grand Bornand has been awarded the Famille Plus label, so there's always a great programme of activities for children.
About the property ...
There's plenty of room for up to 11 guests (nine adults) at Chalet Ours Rouge - a three-storey property with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a cinema, a sauna and an indoor hot tub.
You'll enter on the ground floor, into a hallway with plenty of storage for outdoor gear and a separate WC. Continue into the spacious, open-plan living area, where cosy sofas and chairs invite you to relax in front of the television and stylish suspended fireplace. There's even a piano for musical evenings!
The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a hearty meal for a hungry crowd, including a double oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The breakfast bar is the perfect place for a quick snack, but there's room for everyone to eat together at the large dining table in front of the doors to the covered balcony.
There's a cosy reading room on this floor with plenty of cushions - it's a great place for young children to play or to get away from it all with a good book. It's next to a double bedroom which has a television, an en-suite shower room and doors to the balcony.
There are four more bedrooms on the first floor, three of which are double rooms, all with televisions. One also has an en-suite shower room and two have access to the balcony. The fourth bedroom is ideal for children, with three single beds, one of which are on a mezzanine floor accessed via a ladder. There's also a large bathroom with a bath and a large separate shower.
Head back down to the lower ground floor, where you'll find the impressive cinema room with a full projection system, a sauna, hot tub and shower, as well as an exercise area with a treadmill and an exercise bike. There's also a ski room with a heated boot rack and a utility room with a washing machine and dryer. And at the end of the day you can choose a bottle of wine from the cellar, to enjoy over dinner or perhaps on the sunny balcony as the sun goes down.
The chalet has a covered parking space with additional space for two more cars in front of the chalet. Pets are welcome at Chalet Ours Rouge.
About the area ...
You'll have great skiing, hiking and biking in every direction when you stay at Chalet Ours Rouge. And with the shuttle bus stopping just a few steps from your door, you won't need to use your car.
The bus also links you to La Clusaz and Le Croix Fry, in Manigod, so you’ll never be stuck for a lift home. There are plenty of cross-country ski trails in the area, and beginners in this sport will love the Evo Nordic Park, which has a circuit featuring a variety of terrains. Any boarders in your group will appreciate the Snowpark.
Non-skiers can try ice-skating, sledging, Nordic walking, or even paragliding and ice climbing - there's no shortage of adventures in this area.
But the mountains aren't just for winter - there's plenty to do and discover in the summer too. A network of walking and biking trails cover the mountains, and you can pick up a route map for either at the tourist office. There’s a fantastic swimming pool complex in Le Grand Bornand, 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 and white-water rafting nearby.
Le Grand Bornand has Famille Plus status, and prides itself on a great programme of activities for young families. August sees the International Children’s Festival in the village - a week of puppet shows, circus acts and workshops, with a grand firework finale.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Ours Rouge is a three-storey chalet for 11 with five bedrooms and three bathrooms between the Aravis ski resorts of Le Grand Bornand and Chinaillon.
And with an indoor sauna, hot tub, exercise area and home cinema with a full projection system, it has all the ingredients for a memorable Alpine holiday.
The bright and spacious living area has plenty of space to get together over a meal, cosy chats around the fire or even a singsong around the piano! There's also a home cinema for film evenings or, if you'd prefer some quiet time, a comfortable reading room with a raised floor covered with throws and cushions.
The well-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar with stools, and there is a large dining table where everyone can get together for dinner. In warmer weather you might prefer to eat on the covered terrace.
There are four double bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and has an en-suite shower and doors to the wraparound terrace. There are three more double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has an en-suite shower room.
The fifth bedroom has a single bed as well as two more single beds on a mezzanine floor, which are accessed via a ladder - this a great room for children, who will love the cabin-style beds. There's also a spacious bathroom with a large shower and a bath, as well as a separate WC.
The wellness area on the ground floor has a sauna, shower and a hot tub, as well as an exercise area with a stationary bike and a treadmill. There's also a ski room with a heated boot rack, a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, and a wine cellar.
This is a wonderful chalet for a holiday with family and friends, and with pets welcome too, nobody gets left behind!

We'd like you to discover Le Grand Bornand, this charming village in the Haute-Savoie region - we've been coming here every holiday season for many years with our children, friends..
and animals!
Summer or winter, autumn or spring, we enjoy unspoilt nature, wonderful landscapes and unspoilt countryside - in short, it's our version of paradise...
In winter let yourself be carried away by the warm and cosy atmosphere of our chalet after a day's skiing: the wood-burning stove, sauna, jacuzzi and children's play area are waiting for you.
In summer, enjoy our sunny terraces and balconies, a large barbecue, and a garden with views of the forest and the Aravis mountains. Our cycling friends can train on the stationary bike and climb the famous Col de la Colombière, where the chalet is located.
On rainy days, there's a cinema room where you can watch a film together.
Chalet l'Ours Rouge has been designed in a spirit of sharing, generosity and conviviality - an opportunity to gather as a family, with your friends or your pets, to share precious moments that you will remember for a long time to come.
We sincerely hope we can pass on our love of Grand Bornand, the Aravis and the mountain pastures to you, and offer you a wonderful experience at L'Ours Rouge.
