This superb chalet offers comfort and a cosy atmosphere, surrounded by balconies and a terrace. Spread over 3 levels, with its 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sauna and ski room, this bright chalet will dazzle you with its magnificent view of the mountains, where every season has its charm: the magical atmosphere of snow on the fir trees, the colours of autumn, summer: you can have lunch outside and enjoy the cool evenings with aperitifs and sumptuous sunsets. This is a paradise for hikers and cyclists, with walks starting from the chalet, not forgetting the chance to take a dip in Lake Annecy, early in the morning or late at night to avoid the crowds!
We love the cosy living room with its view of the mountains peaks, which opens onto the elegant, sober kitchen and dining area with its bench seat, which was refurbished this winter and is perfect for an afternoon of games or cards by the wood-burning stove.
