Couples’ cosy hideaway perfectly placed for a great La Clusaz holiday
Three couples looking for a luxury base in the La Clusaz area could do no better than to choose Chalet Lombardes Le Virolet. This stylish two-storey apartment, which is part of a beautifully restored farmhouse, has been imaginatively designed to provide a practical yet unique place for an unforgettable holiday. With built-in furniture handmade out of reclaimed wood, decorated in neutral tones and furnished with lots of cushions and fur throws, you’ll love the cosy Alpine feel. The apartment is well placed too, just a short walk from the shops and restaurants of St-Jean-De-Sixt and between the popular ski villages of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand.
Designer apartment is the perfect base for an Alpine holiday with friends
Sleeping up to six people, Chalet Lombardes Le Virolet is a chic duplex apartment which makes a great base for couples looking for a La Clusaz ski base. The two bedrooms each have a sunny private balcony for evening stargazing or greeting the morning sun, and one of the beds is curtained, making a romantic hideaway. There’s a shower room on each floor. Downstairs, the kitchen/dining area is a great place to get together for meals, with cosy bench seating piled high with cushions. There’s also a spacious terrace, where you can eat out and drink in the fabulous views. Beds are made up for your arrival, and fluffy towels and bathrobes are provided - just move in and enjoy yourself!
Perfectly placed to enjoy the wide variety of winter activities on offer
This luxury apartment could hardly be in a better location. Just a short walk from the bustling village of St-Jean-de-Sixt, the apartment is halfway between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, so you’ll never have to ski the same route twice! A single Aravis ski pass covers both areas, as well as Manigod, giving you access to more than 200km of pistes and 95 lifts. Cross-country skiers will discover trails from St-Jean-de-Sixt, and when you get back to the apartment, just put your boots and skis in the heated ski store, ready for the next day. Non-skiers are well catered for too, and can go ice-skating or swimming in La Clusaz, where the heated indoor and outdoor pools are open all year round, or try snowshoeing, sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides.
Explore the mountains by foot, bike or on horseback or seek out a challenge
If you’re looking for an action-packed summer holiday you’ll be spoiled for choice at Chalet Lombardes Le Virolet. St-Jean-de-Sixt is the only place in the world where you can try Bun-J ride, a cross between ski jumping and bungee jumping! But other more traditional pastimes are available too - marked footpaths crisscross the mountains, many starting from the village, or you can explore by mountain bike or on horseback. There’s a fantastic swimming pool complex in Le Grand Bornand, but 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. Back at your apartment, live like the locals and indulge in a game of petanque on the chalet’s own piste.
Chalet perfectly placed to discover the highlights of mountains and lake
Under an hour from Geneva airport, Chalet Lombardes Le Virolet is ideally placed for discovering the French Alps. There’s a good choice of shops and restaurants in St-Jean-de-Sixt, and more in La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand. These villages also have weekly markets where you can pick up fresh local produce and Reblochon cheese. There are larger supermarkets in Thônes, just 10 minutes drive away. The medieval town of Annecy, 30 minutes by car, is a must for a day out, whatever the season. It offers a unique mix of shops, restaurants, galleries and museums, and Lake Annecy, said to be the cleanest lake in Europe, is a great place for watersports, swimming, cycling or just relaxing on the beach.
