Chalet Parakima

Larger groups of up to 23 can book this chalet with the neighbouring chalet, Chalet Chocolat, which sleeps up to 8, so that you are all in the same area.

The property ...

With accommodation over three floors, this large chalet has more than enough room for 15 people (max 14 adults), with eight bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Entrance is on the lower ground floor, where you can drop off your outdoor gear before heading upstairs.

The first floor is where you'll find the main living area - a light and bright sitting area with a huge corner sofa around a wide screen TV and a woodburning stove. There's also a large dining table with plenty of bench seating for everyone, and an open-plan, well-equipped kitchen  including 2 dishwashers for large groups. All this is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and doors to the large wrap-around terrace, where you can breathe in the crisp mountain air and enjoy the views from the hot tub.

The games room that includes a Home Cinema is also on this floor, as well as a double bedroom with access to the terrace, en suite shower room, and a separate toilet.

On the ground floor, you'll find a bedroom with two bunk beds and a sofa bed, en-suite shower room and separate toilet, two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, one with a double bed and the other with two twin beds, both with direct access to the jacuzzi.

On the upper floor, you'll find two double bedrooms, a twin bedroom, a family bathroom and a large master suite with spacious bathroom and dressing room.

Chalet Parakima is a great choice for a group or a family who want to make the most of the mountain activities in the Aravis area. With plenty of storage for outdoor gear, a beautiful spacious terrace and the Alps on your doorstep, everything is in place for a great holiday!

About the area ...

With the ski bus stopping almost outside Chalet Parakima you’ve got the whole of the La Clusaz/Le Grand Bornand ski area at your disposal.

Equipment can be hired in Manigod, and there’s a handy ski store back at the chalet. Floodlights on some of the pistes mean you can ski until 1am in La Clusaz,  on certain dates throughout the year, and the weekly torchlit descent is an experience you’ll never forget. Of course Manigod is home to the largest floodlit ski area in this part of the Alps, which is open until 9pm throughout school holidays and also every Friday and Saturday until mid March.

Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails to choose from, and non-skiers are not forgotten, with a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, ice skating rink and cinema, as well as sledging, show-shoe walking, dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides.

For the ultimate in winter fun, try paragliding on skis or ski joering – skiing while towed by a horse!

In the summer, you’ll love the beautiful terrace at Chalet Parakima - perhaps lounge in the hot tub or enjoy a barbecue as you admire the stunning views over the Manigod valley. But if you can tear yourself away, you’ll find plenty to do in the La Clusaz region. There’s no shortage of hiking or biking options, from mountain trails to gentler paths on the Gliéres plateau.

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, mountain-biking or white-water rafting - just some of the activities on offer within a few miles of Manigod. Via ferrata is a great family day out, with children as young as eight able to explore the mountains safely on iron walkways, secured to a harness.

Less than an hour from Geneva, and just 30 minutes from the beautiful lakeside town of Annecy, Chalet Parakima is the perfect year-round base from which to explore the region.
