Chalet J'Elage

The property ...

This comfortable chalet sleeps 10 (maximum 8 adults) and is perfect for a young family (or even two!). There's a lovely flat garden and plenty of books, DVDs and games to keep everyone entertained when you're not enjoying the great outdoors, which is right on your doorstep.

As you enter the lobby area, there's a ski room and utility room with washer and dryer, where outdoor gear can be left to dry ready for the next day.

In the living area, cosy sofas piled with cushions are arranged around the large wood-burning fire, built in local stone. Patio doors open on to a large decked area and garden, which has an unusual semi-circular seating area perfect for enjoying the sunset or a barbecue. The kitchen and dining area are also open plan, so cooking and eating together is a sociable affair. There's a shower room here too, and a bedroom with two sets of bunks and a nautical theme that kids will adore.

There are three more bedrooms upstairs, one with a super king size bed. The other two rooms each have a king-size bed, which can be turned into a set of 2 singles, plus a double bed settee so that families can all be together if they prefer. Two of the bedrooms open on to a spacious balcony with a table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy the view of the Aravis mountains, while the third bedroom looks out towards the beautiful Plateau de Glieres.The large family bathroom has a bath with shower over and two basins, and the toilet is separate.

About the area ...

Whether you've got young or older beginners in your ski party, Chalet J'Elage is the perfect place to help them find their ski legs.

Chalet J'Elage is right in the heart of some great skiing. Halfway between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand ski resorts (both just 10 minutes drive away), you can ski somewhere new every day.

The Aravis ski pass also covers the Manigod area, giving you 220km of pistes of varying levels to explore, as well as extensive off-piste action. Nordic skiers will discover plenty of trails from St Jean de Sixt - in fact there's a 7km trail just behind the chalet.

There's a free sledging run behind the town hall too!. Non-skiers  can go ice skating or swimming in La Clusaz, where the heated indoor and outdoor pools are open all year round, or try snowshoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides and the exciting ski-joering - skiing while being towed by a horse! After all that excitement why not enjoy some pampering at one of the two spas in La Clusaz - you've earned it!

There's plenty to do here in the spring and summer too. St Jean de Sixt is one of only two places in the world where you can try Bun-J ride, a cross between ski jumping and bungee jumping! It's open all year round. Other more traditional pastimes are available too - marked footpaths crisscross the mountains, many starting right from your front door, or you can explore by mountain bike - take the lift to the top of the mountain then come back down at your own pace.

There are a number of mountain farms within a walk of the chalet, where you can see the local Reblochon cheese being made - you'll come away with a delicious treat for the walk back! Cool off at the swimming pool complexes in Le Grand Bornand, La Clusaz and Thônes, or if you're looking for something a little more challenging, there's a climbing school, via ferrata routes, tree-top adventure parks, canyoning, white-water rafting, horse-riding, karting and paragliding all nearby.
