Embrace the Alpine charm of this 4-bedroom wooden chalet perfectly positioned between Lake Annecy and the Aravis mountains, just over a 10-minute drive from the lakeside beaches of Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires.

The owner spent his childhood at Vue Des Pentes following his parents’ move to the region for their love of the nature, fishing, mountains and skiing. Having undergone a recent renovation, the chalet exudes authentic character alongside contemporary style. The cosy lounge opens up to a brand new kitchen and dining area with two sets of doors leading to the garden terrace, a lovely place to spend time with family and friends.

The chalet sleeps up to 8 guests across four double bedrooms (three of which can be made up as twin beds) including two attractive doubles beneath the eaves upstairs, an en suite double bedroom on the main floor and one downstairs with its own shower room.

The garden is a delight at any time of year whether making snowmen in the winter or making the most of the lawn and children’s slide in warmer months. Serve delicious Savoy feasts on the terrace, laze back in the outdoor lounge and enjoy the hot tub overlooking the verdant garden.

There is a little village within 1.5km an auberge serving good home-cooked food for lunch and some evening meals. Drive down to Lake Annecy with the pretty village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard just over a 10-minute drive away or head further inland to the picturesque mountain town of Thônes, 8km by car, for shops, restaurants, supermarkets and a Saturday morning market.

You have good access to winter skiing with La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand around half an hour away, both also wonderful in the summer with amazing hiking, rock-climbing and mountain biking alongside gentler walks through the glorious scenery.

Back down to the lake, discover waterside restaurants, summer watersports, boat taxis, a beautiful golf course and the 43km-long cycling loop around Lake Annecy. Furthermore, spend the day experiencing the historic beauty of medieval Annecy, known as the ‘Venice of the Alps’ with its canals, ancient bridges, atmospheric markets and impressive architecture.
