chalet en Savoie Maurienne

Bonneval-sur-Arc: hibernate in a box-bed

Overlooking Bonneval, one of the most beautiful villages of France, you will find an authentic dry-stone chalet, complete with traditional box-beds, located behind the church. Ideal to discover or re-discover the cosy warmth of hibernation. The chalet has 3 holiday homes, for 4 to 5 persons each.

Les Abeillos - 73480 Bonneval-sur-Arc.
Tél. : (0033) (0)4 79 05 96 08

Domaine des Sybelles: wake up on the ski-slopes

Skis and a chair-lift are the only means to reach the chalet, at an altitude of 1,400 metres, at the heart of the Sybelles massif (310 km – about 190 miles- of trails). A stack of firewood, a fire place, one bedroom and a little dormitory under the wooden roof… The ideal place for the whole family – or tribe - where you can admire the snow-covered vista over breakfast.

L'Auberge du Coin - 73130 Saint-Colomban-des-Villards.

Aussois: spend an evening in the barn

The Cairn, an ancient Aussois house, has been restored in traditional style. Just a few steps away from this holiday home, you can enjoy an evening in the company of Yves Berneron, an incredible storyteller from the valley, proudly sporting his impressive sideburns. French comedian Laurent Gerra, honorary citizen of Val-Cenis, is one of his fans.

Montsapey: appreciate an exhilarating Scandinavian bath

The Relais du Lac noir, a charming guest house in the valley, has introduced an innovative pastime, the Scandinavian bath. Indulge yourself: a dive into hot steaming water (40°C – about 104°F!) followed by a roll in the beckoning snow… Christophe Perny’s cuisine is of the refined variety. His specialities include knuckle of lamb, glazed for 4 hours in mountain honey. All three beautiful bedrooms bear the name of the three daughters of the house.

Le Relais du Lac noir - Tioulévé - 73220 Montsapey.

Saint-Martin-de-la-Porte: sleep at the mill

In the typical village of Saint-Martin-de-la Porte, this former mill, decorated in simple mountain style, has a touch of idyllic charm. Its 50 m² 2-bedroomed apartment guarantees a peaceful atmosphere. There are ibexes literally standing at the entrance to the village. Taste some vanilla flavoured foie gras and the gratin de crozets (baked pasta).
