Great location and stunning interior make this a perfect family choice
Beautiful interior design combines with the perfect location to make this apartment in a converted farmhouse a very desirable holiday choice for a family. Sleeping up to 6, every square inch has been well used, with handmade built-in furniture adding to the sense of space. As you would expect in such a high specification property, it is also very well equipped, with quality bedding, kitchen utensils, and tableware. Chalet Lombardes is a practical choice too, ideally situated just a short walk from the centre of St-Jean-de-Sixtes, and halfway between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, so you’ll never be short of somewhere new to discover.
Modern convenience and luxury with traditional Alpine feel
Natural wood, fur and neutral tones have been used to stunning effect in this cosy family apartment, giving every room a luxury feel while retaining that mountain chalet ambiance. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious evening meal with fresh local ingredients, and the large table, with bench and corner seating, means you can all come together to eat. After dinner, move to the spacious terrace for coffee or a nightcap, before retiring for a good night’s sleep. Kids will love the built-in bunk beds, while the curtained alcove bed is a romantic hideaway for mum and dad. Fluffy towels and bathrobes are provided in the stylish luxury shower room.
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, Chalet Lombardes 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. 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.
Chalet perfectly placed to discover the highlights of mountains and lake
Under an hour from Geneva airport, Chalet Lombardes 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.
