OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Paralpin is an OVO Network property. It is a three-storey chalet for 12, with five en suite bedrooms. The OVO Network team’s opinion - It's in a great location, with the beautiful village of Manigod 3.5km in one direction, and the Croix Fry ski station 3.5km in the other. There's no better way to end a day in the mountains than with a soak in the hot tub - and the view of the Aravis mountains from the tub at Chalet Paralpin has to be one of the best! The chalet has two double bedrooms, two family rooms each with a double and a single bed, and a twin room. We love the fact that all of the rooms have en suite shower rooms, and there's a WC on each floor. The two seating areas are also a great idea - a fixed sofa and bench seating by the fire in the main living room, and another TV/games room on the top floor, where younger guests can play or watch a film. The kitchen is open to the dining area, but has everything you need if you're cooking for yourselves. There's good storage too - the double garage has a ski store and boot rack and there's room for other outdoor gear. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

The nearby ski station of La Croix Fry (altitude 1500m) is just 3.5km away, and parking is free. From here, experienced skiers can ski the circuit around to La Clusaz. There’s an ESF ski school at La Croix Fry and the nursery slopes are perfect for youngsters to learn on, but there is also plenty of challenge for more experienced skiers.There are several bars and restaurants where you can refuel before moving on - your Aravis/La Clusaz ski pass gives you access to 95 lifts and 220km of pistes, so there’s always somewhere new to discover. 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 at La Clusaz, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides all nearby. In the summer, you can explore the mountains and the pine forests by foot or by bike. There are quite a few marked footpaths criss-crossing this beautiful farming valley, but if you want to make the most of the altitude, put your bike on the ski lift at La Clusaz and come back down at your own pace, or pack a picnic and explore the Beauregard plateau. Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, or white-water rafting within a few miles of Manigod. Via ferrata is another great family day out, with adults and children able to explore the mountains on iron walkways, secured to a harness. If you'd prefer to take life at a slower pace, why not go on a donkey trek in the Col des Aravis with a picnic in the large baskets carried by the donkeys? Annecy is a great destination for a complete contrast to spending time in the mountains. Only 30 minutes away by car, there's a beautiful medieval town and canals to explore as well as the lake, where you can try a range of water sports, enjoy a cruise, hire a boat or just have a lazy day on the beach.
