OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked high-end properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet 1703 is an OVO Network partner property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Chalet 1703 is a five-bedroom, five bathroom chalet for 12 people - 10 adults and two children. The unusual layout sees accommodation over three floors and mezzanine areas, spread over the main house and a 'mazot' which is set slightly apart from the main house and accessed via a glass corridor. The interior design at Chalet 1703 is really unique - the owner has really gone to town on bespoke lighting, wonderful patterns and stylish bathrooms, while retaining the wonderful beams and charm of this ancient building. And with a separate TV room, a games room with table football and a pool table, a reading area and a wonderfully relaxing spa area, there's plenty of room for everyone to find some privacy, or to get together at the bar or over a meal. You'll need a car when you stay at Chalet 1703, as it's a drive to the nearest skiing or walking areas, but there are restaurants, a grocery store and a bakery just 500m. WIFI, cleaning, towels & linen included.

Chalet 1703 is just a 15 to 20-minute drive from La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand - two of the Aravis ski stations which offer 220km of great skiing for all levels. If you are looking for more variety you can get to Megeve, Chamonix or Courmayeur in under an hour. Cross-country skiers have a choice of trails on the Glieres plateau, scene of the Resistance campaign in World War II. There is plenty to do for non-skiers too - try horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice-skating, paragliding or hot air ballooning or just relax in the heated indoor/outdoor pools at La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, as the snow-covered mountains tower above you. In the summer, there are plenty of hiking and mountain bike trails, and if you prefer to make things a little easier, the ski lifts will whisk you up to higher ground so that you don’t have to put in the hard work! Pack a picnic of some local bread and cheese, or eat at one of the many mountain restaurants, which offer good food and spectacular views. Thrill seekers can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, via ferrata or white-water rafting, and at the end of the day you can reflect on the day’s fun over a cold beer and a barbecue around the pool. The medieval lakeside town of Annecy is less than an hour away by car and is a must for a day out, whatever the season, with its unique mix of restaurants, shops and museums. In the summer it’s a great place for golf and watersports, or you could hire a boat and explore some of the quiet lakeside beaches.
