PRESENTATION
Imagine a place quite different from the others: you are on the edge of a hamlet of fifteen houses, no more. It overlooks the valley. Everything is calm and peaceful. Unless the woodcutters prepare the winter wood or the deer roar disturbs the autumn evenings ...
You are at Le Petit Chalet, quite exclusive accommodation, in the sense that you are alone there: there is no semi-detached, no other tenants and no vis-à-vis disturbs the magnificent view of the rocky bar called Roc des Boeufs, opposite.
Le Petit Chalet is an old and authentic mazot, that is to say a traditional hay loft of the region. Around, the vegetation of gardens of which one is reserved for you, while the other welcomes you.
The situation - in the opinion of all those who have given us the pleasure of coming to spend a few days here - is ideal: while you are staying in the heart of nature, on the flank of the Semnoz, you are in the center of everything possible, between the Annecy basin and that of Aix-les-Bains.
Unless you want to go for a high mountain race, there is no need to make long preparations to organize your day. As everything is just a few minutes away, you can decide according to your mood at the moment: walks, visits, swimming, paragliding, cycling, idleness, the choice is yours… The possibilities are endless.
Want to go north? You inevitably fall on the magnificent Lake Annecy, in a good ten minutes. You can stop there or, for example, take the small coaster boat which will take you to the heart of the old town for a pleasant and informative ride. You can also extend your route to the Massif des Aravis and its breathtaking landscapes. You can even, during the day, push as far as Chamonix ...
Do you decide to go south? One place stands out: the summit of Semnoz, with its winter and summer activities. The 360 ° view is simply magnificent. Mont Blanc is revealed in all its splendor. The bravest can go up there on foot, directly from the Petit Chalet. The others will drive by a pretty little mountain road which will take them barely 13 minutes: it is not uncommon to come across a deer, a fox or a badger.
In the east, the hike is a little rougher, but remains accessible to all. From the summit of Roc des Bœufs, the view of Lake Annecy is breathtaking.
The west opens onto the Bauges Regional Park, still very well preserved in its balance between tradition and modernity. You will not have time to walk all the paths available to you for a multitude of hikes that have the charm of places protected from overcrowding.
You understand: at Le Petit Chalet, you will not know where to turn your head and your legs. And that’s very good: you will leave it with a taste of too little that will no doubt make you want to come back to it sooner or later.
So, see you soon at the Petit Chalet?
