This family-friendly chalet near the village of Manigod is just 1km from the pistes and the ski bus stops just across the road, so you’ll waste no time getting on the slopes.

It was built by the owners’ grandparents, after whom it is named, and the present owners have renovated it using the original materials. Their work now takes them all over the world, and the decor of the chalet reflects that, with a wealth of souvenirs from their travels.

There are two young children in the family, so it’s no surprise the chalet was designed with them in mind - there’s a flat garden bordered by shrubs on the road side with swings and a petanque piste to the rear of the chalet, and a play area complete with toys indoors. However, there are some steep open stairs, which may not be suitable for toddlers.

The chalet is right on the road, which is regularly cleared of snow, so access isn’t a problem, and the views are incredible - look across the Manigod valley to Etale, Val Sulens, Mont Charvin and Tournette. There is a garage where you can store skis, bikes etc and outdoor gear, as well as parking for four cars. Plus there’s an extra special surprise in the mazot in the garden...

This much-loved home is a perfect base for a large family group. Enter on the ground floor where you'll find the kitchen, a dining area, a living room with a large central stone fireplace and a library area, which was made from the manger in the original farmhouse.

Glass doors open on to the sunny wooden deck and flat garden, which has incredible views over the valley There is also a large bathroom with walk-in shower and a double bedroom on this floor. An open staircase leads to the first floor, which is a large open plan room divided into several "zones" - curl up on the sofas in front of the television while the children keep themselves busy in the play area.

There's a double bedroom with an en suite shower room, dressing room and doors to the garden, and above this there's a cosy mezzanine bedroom with two single beds which can be joined to form a double bed. Finally, there are bunk beds in a cabin-style bedroom which children will love.

Outside in the garden there's a surprise waiting in the mazot - an authentic Scandinavian sauna. Follow it with a roll in the snow for best results!

Skiers will love this chalet, just a few minutes’ drive from the lifts at Croix Fry. If you’d rather not drive, the ski bus stops just outside your door.

There’s an ESF ski school base at Croix Fry, where beginners will love the gentle nursery slopes. Those with more experience can ski from here or explore the 220km of pistes between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, which are all covered by the Aravis ski pass.

Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails to choose from on the nearby Beauregard plateau, as well as snow shoe trails, with a view across to Mont Blanc.

If there are non-skiers in your party, there are heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools at La Clusaz as well as an ice-skating rink and cinema. You could also try snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides. You’ll be ready to relax after an action-packed day - the sauna back at Chalet Arsene et Lea is the perfect place to soothe those tired muscles!

Please note that Chalet Arsene & Lea is situated on the main road to the Col de la Croix Fry (where the ski fields are), which makes it very convenient in winter but does mean that in busy periods there can be a fair amount of traffic noise.

NOTE: Free wifi. Cleaning, linen and towels included!
