The luxurious 5 star Chalet Altï may have all the charm of a traditional mountain chalet, but it also boasts all the comfort of modern living and the latest in green technology, including solar panels and geothermal heating.

Up to 14 people (13 adults) can be accommodated comfortably in this three-storey chalet, and children are particularly well catered for, with their own mezzanine floor!

South-facing to make the most of the sunshine, there are fabulous views of the Aravis mountains and the beautiful village of Le Grand Bornand, which is just a few minutes walk away. Here you'll find a good selection of shops and restaurants as well as banks, ski hire etc.

There's a ski bus stop just 200m from the chalet, but in the right conditions, experienced skiers can ski down to the Rosay gondola.

Enter Chalet Altï on the top floor and you'll find a ski store with a boot warmer and the entrance to the double garage.

The rest of the floor is strictly for the younger members of your party, who have their own sitting room with a television, Wii console and board games. There is also a bedroom with a pair of bunk beds and a single bed, and a skylight perfect for star-gazing. This room also has a glazed wall which over looks the downstairs living area, so that you can keep an eye on them (or they can keep an eye on you).

Take the central wooden staircase down to the main living area, where floor to ceiling windows fill the room with light and make the most of the breath-taking views. A cosy seating area and a large dining table which seats everyone are either side of a modern floating fireplace, and doors open on to one of three terraces. Those seeking a little quiet can head for the library, which has a good selection of books and games as well as doors to the west terrace.

The well-equipped kitchen has an island unit and a breakfast bar as well as a dishwasher, oven and steam oven - preparing meals will be a pleasure.

here are two double bedrooms on this floor, both with en suite showers, and one of which has doors to the east terrace where you'll find the large jacuzzi - grab a bottle of wine from the wine cellar and relax in the bubbles under the stars! And recently a new sauna for 4 poeple has been added.

The remaining three bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, all of which face south and have access to a terrace - two doubles, one of which can be arranged as a twin room, and a family room with a double bed, a single bed and en suite shower. The large bathroom on this floor has a shower cubicle, two sinks and a beautiful oval bath. There is also a separate toilet and a useful laundry room with a washing machine, dryer and room to air clothes.

ABOUT THE AREA ...

Confident skiers can ski from Chalet Altï down to the foot of the Rosay gondola in Le Grand Bornand. The village has a good choice of skiing for all abilities, with more in nearby Chinaillon.

The ski bus, which stops 200m from the chalet, links the village with La Clusaz and Manigod, together they offer more than 200km of pistes, which are all covered by the Aravis ski pass. There are also plenty of cross-country trails.

Non-skiers won't be bored either, try hiking or snowshoeing, paragliding, hot air ballooning, ice skating or ice-climbing.

Le Grand Bornand boasts the Famille Plus mark, ensuring that it there is always entertainment and activities for even the youngest visitors. There's a ski room and boot warmer at Chalet Altï, so you can be sure you will always be ready to hit the slopes.

At the end of the day, share your adventures and a drink or two with friends in the fabulous jacuzzi - you might even spot a shooting star.

Summer thrill-seekers need look no further than Chalet Altï for mountain adventure.

A network of walking and biking trails criss-cross the slopes, and you can pick up a route map for either at the tourist office.

In Le Grand Bornand there is a beautiful nine-hole golf course with a great driving range, and on those very hot days head for the fantastic swimming pool complex, with a restaurant and grassy areas for picnics. If you're looking for something a little more challenging, there's a climbing school, via ferrata routes, a tree-top adventure park, canyoning, white-water rafting and paragliding all nearby.

August sees the International Children's Festival in Le Grand Bornand - a week of puppet shows, circus acts and workshops, with a grand firework finale. It's always hugely popular, so make sure you book early to guarantee a holiday you'll never forget!

There are larger supermarkets in Thônes, just 20 minutes drive away, and the medieval town of Annecy, just beyond Thônes, is a must for a day out, whatever the season. It offers a unique mix of shops, restaurants, galleries and museums, as well as the beautiful Lake Annecy, said to be the cleanest lake in Europe.

Please note: although competent skiers can ski down the garden to access the telecabin at Grand Bornand, guests would normally take the ski bus to get to and return from skiing. Even if you ski down the garden at the beginning of the day, the walk back up to the chalet at the end of the day is quite steep. IMPORTANT: Pets are NOT welcome at the chalet. PLEASE NOTE : Use of Jacuzzi : Children under the age of 12 must not use the jacuzzi for safety reason.Children aged between 12 and 18 must always be accompanied by an adult who will be responsible for them.For optimum safety, the protective cover should be replaced between every use of the spa to avoid a child getting into it unseen.
