About this property
Cosy property in stunning Bauges National Park, French Alps. Ski cycle hike
Situated in a small family ski resort at an altitude of 1000m with views over the valley, a 2 bed 2 bathroom self contained apartment in a mountain chalet with a private south facing terrace and garden. Free high speed Fibre internet. Well equipped with a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine, oven & hob, microwave, pressure cooker, fondue & raclette sets, TV, DVD player, selection of board games & books, garden furniture, parasol and BBQ. A high chair, travel cot and baby bath are also available on request.
All bed linen is included in the rental. You will just need to bring your own towels. All beds have duvets and there are extra blankets and pillows in the wardrobe should you need them.
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed and 2 bunk beds (suitable for children only), bedroom 2 has a double bed, in addition there is a single sofa bed in the sitting room. Ideal for 4 adults and 2 children. Two shower rooms and an extra separate WC. Secure ski & bike storage is available in the attached garage.
A well stocked small supermarket with fresh bread and croissants is just a 10 minute walk. A larger supermarket at Le Chatelard is a 20 minute drive. In addition there is a popular Farm Shop a short walk from the property.
An all year round destination: Skiing, both downhill and cross country, sledging, snow-shoeing, husky dog sledding, fat biking in winter. Spring/summer/autumn activities include hiking the many marked trails, via ferrata, tree top adventure course with zip lines, fishing, off-road electric scooters, mountain and road biking, pot holing, heated public outdoor swimming pool, a 3 leisure lake complex for swimming, fishing and water sports is just 15 minutes away. Wonderful signposted routes for walkers and cyclists, including the GR96 Tour du Massif des Bauges which passes close by. And dark night skies perfect for star gazing.
Skiing at Aillons-Margeriaz 1400 is a 12 minute drive, or at Aillon 1000 less than 5 minutes. The ski resort is a well kept secret by the French and has slopes to suit skiers of all abilities as well as a snow park. It is perfect for beginners and superb for intermediates and families with small children. Lift pass prices are very reasonable. There are 2 further ski areas locally - Le Semnoz, overlooking Annecy, and Savoie Grand Revard, the largest cross-country ski resort in France.
An ideal base for visiting Annecy, a medieval city with cobbled streets and winding canals, and its beautiful lake, Aix les Bains and the Lac du Bourget - the deepest and largest natural lake in France, and Chambery, the largest city in the region.
The Bauges National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty and an International Geopark UNESCO, a hidden gem yet close to major towns and airports, Geneva International Airport being just 75 minutes away.

About the host
Hosted by Sue Booth
We are Sue & Jeremy and we live near Oxford, England. We enjoy travelling and being outdoors, especially walking in the mountains with our dog. We have 3 grown up children who also enjoy spending time in France - skiing, mountain biking, and hiking the mountain peaks.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to be able to ski in winter, but not to be in a big resort. Just as important were the activities on offer for the rest of the year, the proximity to lakes for swimming and fishing opportunities as well as fantastic mountain walking and spectacular views. Aillon le Jeune is a small traditional farming village which just happens to have great skiing too. We like that there are many people who live here all year as well as others, mainly French, who have holiday homes here too.
What makes this property unique
Wonderful walks from the door, traditional farm shop in the village selling, amongst other produce, local Tome de Bauges cheese made from the pretty brown cows which graze the surrounding meadows clanging their bells as they move. Family friendly skiing, very reasonable lift pass rates. Plenty of summer activities, an active and helpful tourist office. A hidden gem in the French Alps, yet close to Annecy, Aix les Bains and Chambery.
