OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. La Ferme du Cortet is an OVO Network property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - La Ferme du Cortet is a beautiful stone farmhouse for 12 guests, with four bedrooms and three shower rooms. It has been carefully renovated to preserve its unique character while providing guests with all the space and facilities they need for a wonderful Alpine holiday. The property is just 2km from Thônes and 12km from the Aravis ski resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Manigod, making it a great base for a winter ski holiday but also a great base for a summer holiday with 15km from Annecy's lake. Inside, there's a great choice of communal spaces - let off steam in the games room, enjoy a drink in the bar area, enjoy a quiet conversation or a book in the mezzanine reading nook or watch a film in the TV room. Of course you can all get together to eat around the dining table! With four bedrooms (two en suite) and a third bathroom, there's plenty of room upstairs too. Children will love the bunk room for six, although it's equally suited as a family room. We think La Ferme du Cortet offers something quite unique for a group of friends of families looking for a real taste of the Alps! Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

La Ferme du Cortet, just 2km from Thônes, is in a great location to make the most of the winter sports offered in the Aravis ski resorts. Just 20 minutes (12km) from the ski stations of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, you can ski somewhere new every day. Your Aravis ski pass also covers the Manigod area, giving you 220km of pistes of varying levels to explore, as well as extensive off-piste action. Parking is available at the ski stations, or use the network of ski buses, which are free with your Aravis ski pass or the Carte d’hôte. Cross-country skiers will discover a great variety of trails from nearby St-Jean-de-Sixt - pick up a map from the village tourist office. Non-skiers are also well catered for. Thônes has plenty of shops and restaurants and a cinema, as well as a packed programme of entertainment in summer and winter. If you fancy exploring the mountains, try snow-shoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides. In the summer, a holiday at La Ferme du Cortet offers you the best of both worlds - mountain adventure and lakeside relaxation.There are great walking and biking trails right from your door, or you could drive to the beautiful village of Menthon St Bernard on the banks of Lake Annecy in just 20 minutes. The medieval town of Annecy itself is just a little further away. A day out in this medieval town is a must - spend the morning exploring the shops, markets and canals, enjoy lunch at a lakeside restaurant and then spend the afternoon on the beach or hire a boat and visit some of the beautiful villages around the lake. St-Jean-de-Sixt is one of the few places where you can try Bun-J ride, a cross between ski jumping and bungee jumping. Other more traditional pastimes are available too - marked footpaths crisscross the mountains, or you can explore by mountain bike or on horseback.
