Our chalet, which is being renovated (though not fundamentally changed) in Spring 2024, is five minutes from the resort of La Clusaz and ten minutes from the resort of Le Grand Bornand. It is one of 14 traditional chalets in private landscaped grounds, with a swimming pool, play areas for small children and parking - all for the exclusive use of residents and their guests. We are surrounded by hills, valleys and mountains that offer winter and summer activities - or just peace, but we are also 15 minutes from our local market town of Thones (the capital of Reblochon cheese), and 30 minutes from the lake and city of Annecy.
Accommodation at Chalet le Meleze comprises:
- A sitting-cum-dining room, with an open fire and a pretty view across to Mont Lachat.
- Two double bedrooms (one with a king sized bed that can also convert to two singles, one with a standard sized double bed). The larger bedroom has an en-suite bathroom; the smaller double room has an en-suite shower room. There is a separate loo.
- A mezzanine bedroom above the sitting room, accessed by a narrow spiral staircase, with two single beds. This room is only for children of six years old and over as it has an internal balcony.
- The kitchen is small but ergonomic and includes a dishwasher, as well as plenty of cooking equipment including fondue and raclette sets .
- An entrance which includes a rack for skis in winter and hanging space for outdoor clothes, as well as a cupboard for cleaning equipment and a washing machine.
Outside
We have a terrace and a small garden with table and chairs in summer and also a small barbeque.
The Aravis region, which includes the two mountain resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, is still very much an unspoiled French farming area, home to Reblochon cheese, although both resorts have been developed over the years to offer everything most skiers or hikers could want in the winter and summer seasons.
Our little village of St Jean de Sixt is within 5 minutes' drive of both La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand and has all essential shops and a mini supermarket. Our local market town, Thones, is typically Haute-Savoyard and has a Saturday morning market all year round, along with numerous 'fetes' and two good museums: one on local life and one on the famous WWII resistance battle on the nearby Plateau de Glieres, which can also be visited in summer.
Annecy, "the Venice of the north", is about 25 minutes drive. The city itself is beautiful and the small towns along the shore of Lac d'Annecy offer sailing and swimming, as well as delicious ice creams! A little further afield, for half day or full day outings, are Aix les Bains/Lac du Bourget, Chamonix, Megeve, Lac Leman and Yvoire. All around us, there are plenty of restaurants, fresh food markets (mostly in summer), small shops and, on the outskirts of Annecy, two hypermarches.
In winter, both La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand offer a wide range of pistes for skiers and boarders of all levels; La Clusaz also has a cross-country ski-ing area. There are also skating rinks and, in Thones, there is go-karting on ice - enormous fun between a day's ski-ing and a dish of the local Tartiflette!
In summer there is wonderful hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, canyoning, golf, horse riding, bird watching, and more - and, as above, sailing and swimming on Lac d'Annecy or Lac du Bourget.
