OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Parakima is an OVO Network property. This recently-built chalet can comfortably welcome up to 15 guests (maximum 14 adults) over 230m2 of floor space split across three levels. The OVO Network team’s opinion - The chalet has eight bedrooms. The main living space is full of light and spacious, the open plan space means that the chef is able to join in with conversations and dinners are relaxed informal affairs as the table is next to the kitchen. Those who prefer to snuggle in and relax around the fire can do so, while others can head off to the adjoining multimedia space/ games room.   With a jacuzzi, a home cinema, comfortable interior spaces, and lovely outdoor spaces we think Chalet Parakima has those special extra elements that will mean your group will enjoy a great holiday in Manigod in the Aravis mountains. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

With the ski bus stopping almost outside Chalet Parakima you’ve got the whole of the La Clusaz/Le Grand Bornand ski area at your disposal. Equipment can be hired in Manigod, and there’s a handy ski store back at the chalet. Floodlights on some of the pistes mean you can ski until 1am in La Clusaz,  on certain dates throughout the year, and the weekly torchlit descent is an experience you’ll never forget. Of course Manigod is home to the largest floodlit ski area in this part of the Alps, which is open until 9pm throughout school holidays and also every Friday and Saturday until mid March. Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails to choose from, and non-skiers are not forgotten, with a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, ice skating rink and cinema, as well as sledging, show-shoe walking, dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides. For the ultimate in winter fun, try paragliding on skis or ski joering – skiing while towed by a horse! In the summer, you’ll love the beautiful terrace at Chalet Parakima - perhaps lounge in the hot tub or enjoy a barbecue as you admire the stunning views over the Manigod valley. But if you can tear yourself away, you’ll find plenty to do in the La Clusaz region. There’s no shortage of hiking or biking options, from mountain trails to gentler paths on the Gliéres plateau. Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, mountain-biking or white-water rafting - just some of the activities on offer within a few miles of Manigod. Via ferrata is a great family day out, with children as young as eight able to explore the mountains safely on iron walkways, secured to a harness. Less than an hour from Geneva, and just 30 minutes from the beautiful lakeside town of Annecy, Chalet Parakima is the perfect year-round base from which to explore the region.
