Ski touring heaven, endless!

Mountain biking (VTT), Tour de France, sailing, canoeing, pedalos, water chute, bike hire, Bauges Geoparc Mondial UNESCO, paragliding (world championship venue), waterfalls, fresh water lake swimming (several with bar/restaurants and play parks), Lac Noire, Echappe Belle, golf, WAM Park, Parc Walibi, motorbike touring over the cols...

The chalet itself is in a relatively unknown (and unspoilt) part of Savoie - on the mountain paths behind the chalet you will see wild flowers, mushrooms, deer, wild boar, small red/black squirrels, foxes, lizards and pine martens (the list is endless) which are testament to the local ecosystem. And of course the domestic cows, sheep and chickens..

Periodically golden eagles grace the chalet - they are more regularly seen further up the Maurienne valley, along with the Lammergeiers.

For the more adventurous you can hike to the shepherd's hut above the tree-line above the chalet, on the way to the summit of Le Grand Arc 2484m with its breath-taking views of Mont Blanc and across the Beaufortain and Vanoise massifs. You are unlikely to see the marmots unless you are ski-touring.

OTHER INFO

The chalet rents out easily on AirBnB (4.96 5* rating) - most common visitors are large extended families, enjoying the plentiful relaxed space and beauty whilst being well placed for connections and activities.

There is a daily bus from Bonvillaret to Aiguebelle but everyone who visits has a car for ease. Taxi service in nearby Randens. Good bus service Chambery to Geneva.
