Au Sommet sleeps up to 11 guests (10 adults and one child) across the main chalet and its annexe. Step into the spacious open-plan lounge and dining area with its stylish kitchen island and breakfast bar alongside windows sliding open to the balcony with vistas of Lake Annecy. On the mezzanine level above, a stunning master bedroom awaits with a king-size double and striking glass-doored shower.
There are two further doubles (one with an extra single bed) on the lower floor, plus a wellness area with a hammam, spa-bath and fitness equipment. The wine cellar with barrelled tables and bar stools is a charming spot for a glass of wine after a hard day’s exploring.
The separate annexe features a chilled out games lounge and two en suite double bedrooms – this could be a great option for a family seeking a little privacy from the main chalet or perhaps as a hideaway for grandparents!
Outside, as well as a decked terrace for al-fresco dining and an outdoor lounge, the hot tub enjoys views towards the lake. Furthermore, from spring to autumn you can make the most of the heated swimming pool which features a cover in March, April, October and November allowing you to swim in cooler or even rainy weather. As summer arrives, play pétanque in the garden as youngsters adore the little play area with swings and a slide.
There is so much to explore across Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. Discover hiking paths and winter skiing around a 20-minute drive away or spend the day soaking up the enchanting ambience of Annecy’s old town, often referred to as the ‘Venice of the Alps’, only 10km away by car (or follow the voie verte cycling trail, part of the iconic Lake Annecy cycling loop).
Even closer is the pretty village of Saint-Jorioz with its weekly market, lakeside promenade and sandy beach, great for summer watersports, lake swimming and boat rides. Look out for other historic gems along the coast from Duingt to Talloires, always appreciating the incredible lake and mountain landscapes of this enchanting region of France.
