Chalet Tekoa

A bakery and restaurant (which also offers takeaway food) can be found just a few minutes away in the charming village of Manigod, and there are more restaurants in Merdassier, although these may be closed out of season.

Larger groups of up to 19 can book Chalet Tekoa with another OVO Network property, La Grange à L'Ours, which is just across the road and sleeps up to 11.

About the property ...

Accommodation at Chalet Tekoa is set over three floors. As you enter on the ground floor, there's a useful ski room, shower room and sauna on your right - you can dump your outdoor gear here and jump straight in the sauna to chill out!

The kitchen on your left opens on to the dining area, where you can all get together over a meal while you enjoy the views of the Aravis valley and La Tournette. There's a double-ended living room, separated by a suspended metal fireplace - you can gather around the TV at one end, or sit down with a book or a game at the other. There's a door to the balcony from the dining area, and another from the living area to a secluded terrace if you're looking for a little more shade.

Three of the four bedrooms are on the first floor. Two doubles at the front of the chalet have access to a small balcony - bring your morning coffee up here and ease yourself into the day with some deep breaths of fresh mountain air! There is also a twin room on this floor (the beds can also be arranged as a double) and a full bathroom.

The fourth bedroom is on the lower ground floor - it's a double with a stylish shower room, which also contains a washing machine and dryer, and a separate toilet. There's also a games room with a reading area on this floor - it's a great area for teenagers who would prefer their own space.

About the area ...

Chalet Tekoa couldn’t be better placed to enjoy everything the La Clusaz area has to offer. You’re just a five-minute drive from the pistes at La Croix Fry (altitude 1500m). Here novice skiers can learn the basics with an ESF instructor, while the more experienced will enjoy the 220km of pistes that link the area to La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand.

Parking at the pistes is free, but if you’d rather leave the car at home, the ski bus stops just 50m from the chalet and will have you on the slopes in no time.

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

In the summer, you can fill your days with activities or take it easy - you’ll be spoiled for choice in the Aravis region. There’s no shortage of walks, from mountain trails to hiking on the Gliéres plateau.

If road or mountain biking is more your style, the chalet overlooks the route of the Tour de France when it passes through Manigod on the way to La Clusaz. In summer some of the ski lifts become bike lifts - take the easy way up and come down at your own pace.

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, or white-water rafting - just some of the many activities on offer within a few miles of Manigod.

Lake Annecy is only 30 minutes away and offers lots of watersports including waterskiing, wake-boarding, sailing, and diving. If this all sounds too energetic, why not just take a cruise, or hire a boat and find yourself a quiet lakeside beach? Whatever you do, you’re sure to have a holiday you won’t forget.

What next?

If you think Chalet Tekoa is the perfect place for your next holiday in the French Alps, why not check your dates against our availability calendar? We can hold the dates for you for 24 hours so that you can confirm it with the rest of your group. But don't leave it any longer - we think Chalet Tekoa will be a great choice for OVO Network guests.
