About this property

Gîte in the heart of nature, swimming pool, lake

The Lac des Estives holiday village is located in the Parc des Volcans in Haute Auvergne, on the Cézallier plateau on the border between Cantal and Puy de Dôme. Its central position will allow you to easily visit Auvergne, its lakes and volcanoes.
It is an atypical environment that awaits you at the end of the road: the holiday village is in the middle of summer pastures at an altitude of 1220 m. You will be immersed in a setting close to Scottish lands and Mongolia. The panorama is magnificent with the view of the Sancy massif and the Cantal mountains.

The Canada chalet is ideal for an unusual stay. Alone at the edge of a 3ha lake where you practice fly fishing, nestled in the fir trees, you will stay in a peaceful natural environment. You can stroll there, rest, admire the sunset over the lake and taste this Zen atmosphere, far from our civilizations.

This 24m² chalet is made up of a living room with kitchenette (gas stove, oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, dishes), dining area and double sofa bed, 1 bedroom with 2 beds bunk beds (pillows, duvets and mattress covers provided), a bathroom with shower, sink, wc and a terrace with garden furniture, deckchairs and barbecue.
We only rent it from May 1 to September 30 by the night or by the week.

For your activities with family or friends, you can enjoy the heated indoor pool (open from April 13 to September 30), the pétanque field and the games room (billiards, table tennis, table football) , wooden games). At the reception, Wi-Fi access, a library and a toy library are available.

Summer:
Bread delivery 3 days / week, Auvergne dishes to take away.
Free activities: boat trip on the lake, crayfish fishing, screening of a film in our cinema.

The Lac des Estives can be the center of your green holidays, nature is magnificent and unspoiled (Zone Natura 2000), walks and hikes are numerous: Mont Chamaroux, the Saillant waterfall, the PR3, the PR5 and the GR30, Puy du Sancy and Puy Mary.
It is also a starting point for visiting cheese farms, castles, the medieval city of Besse, strolling on the bicycle-rail, discovering mountain lakes or spending a day at the Vulcania amusement park.
This territory is idyllic for astronomy: the high plateaus of Cézallier offer total darkness without light pollution.

Beau domaine !

Parfait pour nous qui étions avec notre petite fille âgée d'un an : jeu, équipements, etc ! De plus le très beau lac de trois hectares m'a permis de belles pêches de truites à la mouche (poissons très combatifs entre 1 et 2 kg). Les gites sont fonctionnels et l'accueil est très sympa ! On y retournera !

En recherche de nature

Petite cabane en bord de lac, pour des personnes en recherche de nature et de silence. Nous avons apprécié le cadre magnifique, c'est réellement enchenteur et très reposant. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques. Bref, nous avons adoré !

Ô temps ! suspends ton vol ...

Le chalet Canada porte bien son nom ; on a l'impression d'être seul au monde, car on se trouve dans un environnement naturel paisible, au bord d'un lac bordé d'une forêt de sapins et de cèdres et entouré de pâturages de montagne. Sur le domaine, à quelques minutes à pieds du chalet se trouvent une grande piscine couverte, une salle de jeux (billard, pingpong, babyfoot et vieux jeux en bois) et une fois par semaine il y a même une séance de cinéma. Il y a une petite rivière où les enfant peuvent pêcher des écrevisses et une plaine de jeux pour les tout petits. L'accueil des responsables du site est très sympa. Ils sont à votre écoute et vous conseillent sur toutes les visites et activités à faire. De plus, ils vous prêtent documents et matériels (par exemple, une paire de rames très utile si vous souhaitez faire un tour de barque sur le lac). Ce village vacances est situé dans le Parc des Volcans de Haute Auvergne, dans le Cantal, ce qui veut dire de belles randonnées, des descentes en canoë, de l'air pur et des dégustations de fromages, entre-autres ... Pour le ravitaillement, vous avez une supérette et un boulanger à Marcenat, à un peu moins de 8km (10mn en voiture) et vous avez un excellent producteur de fromage Saint Nectaire à l'entrée du village de Montgrelex. Bref, vous l'aurez compris, nous avons passé une excellente semaine ! A refaire ...
