Chalet Le Meridien Etale is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Savoyard life.

This traditional Alpine property takes up the lower two floors of a superbly restored chalet, with furniture and finishing touches chosen carefully to reflect its location.

Sleeping 10, it can also be rented together with Chalet Le Meridien Tournette, on the floor above, to accommodate up to 20, although both properties are self-contained, have their own entrances, parking and outdoor spaces, and are sound insulated.

The property is just a short walk from Manigod village, where you can pick up fresh bread from the boulangerie or enjoy a traditional meal at Val Sulens restaurant, and is perfectly placed to enjoy all the activities the La Clusaz area has to offer.
You'll appreciate the comfort and warmth of Chalet Le Meridien Etale when you return to it after an energetic day in the mountains.

The door opens straight in to the fabulous farmhouse kitchen, with a range-style double oven and a huge pine table, where everybody can get together for a fondue or a raclette and discuss the highlights of the day. In good weather, there's a large covered terrace with a big dining table, so you can all eat al fresco, and there is also a new enclosed games room with table tennis and table football.

After dinner, retire to the cosy living room, with its woodburning stove, to continue the conversation, or the separate TV room - there's a place for everyone.

On a clear night, you'll love to sit out on the large south-facing balcony and watch for shooting stars, perhaps before heading to the terrace for a hot tub session, or downstairs for a sauna to ease aching limbs.

Chalet Le Meridien Etale sleeps 11, in four comfortable bedrooms. There are two double rooms, a family room with a double and a single bed, and a children's room with two sets of bunk beds. There's a shower room on the main floor and a bathroom on the lower floor with the sauna and laundry room.

ABOUT THE AREA ...

Chalet Le Meridien Etale is just a few minutes' drive from the Croix Fry ski station, so you'll be able to make the most of every minute on the slopes.

Parking there is free, but if you don't want to take the car, the ski bus stops just 100m from your door. From Croix Fry, your Aravis ski pass covers 220km of slopes and 95 lifts, from La Clusaz to Le Grand Bornand.

Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails on the nearby Beauregard plateau, and non-skiers are not forgotten, with an ice skating rink and cinema in La Clusaz, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides.

For the ultimate relaxation, let your cares float away at the heated indoor/outdoor pool at La Clusaz, as the snow falls gently around you!

Just as in winter, the summer fun centres around Chalet Le Meridien Etale's stunning Alpine location.

Explore the mountains on foot, either from the door, or take the ski lift to higher altitudes and come back down at your own pace. You can take your bike too - pick up a route of graded mountain bike trails at the tourist office in La Clusaz. Gentler walking and glorious views can be found on the Beauregard plateau - take a picnic and plenty of water!

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, via ferrata or white-water rafting - just some of the activities on offer within a few miles of Manigod. Adventure parks at Le Grand Bornand and Thônes provide tree-top fun for all ages.

A day out to the beautiful lakeside town of Annecy is a must. Explore the shops and museums in the morning, lunch at a lakeside restaurant, and you've got the rest of the day to swim in the crystal-clear waters, hire a boat or try some of the water sports on offer.

If you would rather stay closer to home you will really appreciate the spacious covered games room with table tennis and table football.

Please note: Etale is a ground floor apartment in the converted farmhouse Chalet Meridien. There is another apartment (Tournette) on the first floor. Larger groups can rent both together and there are two dining tables in Tournette which can be fitted together with enough chairs so that groups of up to 21 people can eat together in one space. Chalet Etale, in keeping with the style of local properties of this age, has low ceilings and small windows.

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