About this property
Nice chalet on the heights of Annecy
PRESENTATION
Imagine a place quite different from the others: you are on the edge of a hamlet of fifteen houses, no more. It overlooks the valley. Everything is calm and peaceful. Unless the woodcutters prepare the winter wood or the deer roar disturbs the autumn evenings ... You are at Le Petit Chalet, quite exclusive accommodation, in the sense that you are alone there: there is no semi-detached, no other tenants and no vis-à-vis disturbs the magnificent view of the rocky bar called Roc des Boeufs, opposite. Le Petit Chalet is an old and authentic mazot, that is to say a traditional hay loft of the region. Around, the vegetation of gardens of which one is reserved for you, while the other welcomes you. The situation - in the opinion of all those who have given us the pleasure of coming to spend a few days here - is ideal: while you are staying in the heart of nature, on the flank of the Semnoz, you are in the center of everything possible, between the Annecy basin and that of Aix-les-Bains. Unless you want to go for a high mountain race, there is no need to make long preparations to organize your day. As everything is just a few minutes away, you can decide according to your mood at the moment: walks, visits, swimming, paragliding, cycling, idleness, the choice is yours… The possibilities are endless. Want to go north? You inevitably fall on the magnificent Lake Annecy, in a good ten minutes. You can stop there or, for example, take the small coaster boat which will take you to the heart of the old town for a pleasant and informative ride. You can also extend your route to the Massif des Aravis and its breathtaking landscapes. You can even, during the day, push as far as Chamonix ... Do you decide to go south? One place stands out: the summit of Semnoz, with its winter and summer activities. The 360 ° view is simply magnificent. Mont Blanc is revealed in all its splendor. The bravest can go up there on foot, directly from the Petit Chalet. The others will drive by a pretty little mountain road which will take them barely 13 minutes: it is not uncommon to come across a deer, a fox or a badger. In the east, the hike is a little rougher, but remains accessible to all. From the summit of Roc des Bœufs, the view of Lake Annecy is breathtaking. The west opens onto the Bauges Regional Park, still very well preserved in its balance between tradition and modernity. You will not have time to walk all the paths available to you for a multitude of hikes that have the charm of places protected from overcrowding. You understand: at Le Petit Chalet, you will not know where to turn your head and your legs. And that’s very good: you will leave it with a taste of too little that will no doubt make you want to come back to it sooner or later. So, see you soon at the Petit Chalet?
In summary, the strengths: • In the Massif des Bauges Regional Natural Park, a marvelous region preserved from mass tourism and characterized by its calm and beauty, the chalet is ideally located at the entrance to the Annecy lake basin.
• Leaning against the eastern flank of the Semnoz mountain, it is located in the hamlet of La Touvière. It faces the rocky massif called Roc des Boeufs on which it gives a magnificent view. If you are looking for nature, calm and rest, the place is ideal, in any season. (Sale of farm products and restaurants nearby)
• But it is not its only attraction since it is close to tourist attraction points in the region. Lake Annecy is 10km away; that of Le Bourget (Aix-les-Bains), 35km.
• In summer, it can be the starting point for several hikes and walks.
• Many activities are available to you: water sports on the lake, paragliding (30 'from the base of Dossard), road cycling or mountain biking. The Col de Leschaux is a Mecca for cycling trips in the region and Lake Annecy, a Mecca for paragliding. The possibilities for mountain outings are endless.
• In winter, for alpine skiing, the first ski lifts are 10km away, at Semnoz; Margériaz station is 26km away; that of La Clusaz, 47km. For cross-country skiing, the Semnoz area is 11km away; that of the Grand Revard at 16km. All these stations offer possibilities for snowshoeing, sledding, etc.
• The city of Annecy is 15km away; that of Aix-les-Bains, 31 km away (it is possible to carry out a thermal cure). • The closest shops are in Saint-Jorioz (9km) and in Sévrier (11km). • Annecy train station is 17km away • Annecy airport is 23km away; that of Geneva, 69 km; that of Lyon, 122km.

A super little chalet. Fantastic tranquil location with superb views over the valley.
A warm welcome from the owners who generously gave us private use of their lower terrace overlooking the mountains for the week. This was a fantastic place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Annecy and the lake - whilst only being a 20minute drive away. The location offers much in walking locally and short drives to stunning places above and around the lake.

Niki et Nick ont été des hôtes de rêve: d'une discrétion telle que nous avons été frustré de n'avoir pas eu plus de contacts avec eux (L'humour très british de Nick nous manque!).
Ils nous ont laissé les lieux dans un état de propreté parfait. Merci pour cette belle semaine.
The chalet has a great view towards the mountains. There is a nice spot next to the chalet to sit outside and enjoy meals. It is quiet and not too hot in the summer, almost no mosquitoes. About 20min to lac d‘Annecy by car. You can hike to the mountain Le Semnoz directly frombthe chalet. Guy and Sandie are very friendly hosts, who live next door and are helpful. We had a great time up there!
Nous avons passé un peu plus d’une semaine dans ce charmant chalet, idéalement situé : au calme, tout en restant proche d’Annecy et de nombreuses activités. Très bien équipé, il offre en plus une superbe vue sur les montagnes. L’accueil de Guy et Sandie a été particulièrement chaleureux, et leurs conseils toujours précieux.Nous y reviendrons très certainement.
Inmitten einer majestätischen Bergkulisse und wunderbarer Natur haben mein Mann und ich eine Woche Urlaub genossen. Das Chalet ist ein hochgelegener, ruhiger Rückzugspunkt vom quirligen Treiben am See und von Stress überhaupt, ideal zum Runterkommen. Vom Haus aus gehen direkt Wanderwege los, die auch für Anfänger geeignet sind. Zudem ist man nicht weit enfernt vom Semnoz,einem beliebten Berg und Wanderziel. Das Chalet ist gemütlich, urig, stilecht und die Gastgeber sind sehr symphatisch und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns bestens erholt. Es war magnifique et très jolie!
Ein wunderbarer toller Urlaub in schöner Umgebung. Sehr netter und hilfreicher Vermieter. Originelles Chalet an ruhiger Lage. Perfekter Urlaub. Vielen Dank.

Danke, Jürg. Es war mir eine Freude, Sie kennenzulernen.
Der Wochenaufenthalt war einmalig. Das Chalet ist urgemütlich, gut ausgestattet, sehr sauber und liegt einfach ideal : absolute Ruhe, Nähe zu den Wanderwegen und zum See von Annecy. Die Aussicht auf die Berge ist fantastisch. Wir haben das Auto kaum benutzt. Guy hat uns herzlich begrüßt und uns alles gezeigt. Darüber hinaus haben er und Sandie eine sehr ausführliche Beschreibung für Praktisches vorbereitet. Seine Tipps für unsere Ausflüge haben genau gepasst. Wir haben eine fantastische Zeit dort verbracht und werden sicher wiederkommen.
Merci tout d'abord à Guy pour son accueil chaleureux et ses conseils précieux !
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable sur les hauteurs d'Annecy.
Chalet dans lequel il fait bon vivre.
Multiples randonnées à faire dans le coin, la nature est magnifique, le lac d'Annecy offre de multiples possibilités (baignades, vélo, sports nautiques...).
On aurait aimé prolonger le séjour !
Le chalet est très agréable pour 2 adultes, bien équipé et confortable. Le jardin ombragé et au calme. A proximité en voiture des commerces, et plusieurs départs de rando à pied directement du chalet. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et conseillés par Guy !

Merci Eva pour votre avis. Malheureusement, votre texte ne correspond pas à la seule étoile que vous avez cochée. Si, comme je le pense, il s'agit d'une erreur, Merci de la rectifier.
Bonne continuation.
Bonjour à Vito et à Louise.
Accueil très sympa de Guy qui nous a très bien renseigné sur les lieux à visiter et activités à faire. L'emplacement est parfait pour les amoureux de la nature sans être loin d’Annecy
Un très bon camp de base pour découvrir Annecy et les alentours du lac. L'accueil de Guy et Sandie a été top, avec le tour du propriétaire mais surtout tous les conseils détaillés de balade dans la région : randonnée au Semnoz, tour du lac a vélo, les navettes gratuites tres bien organisées pour ne pas se mettre dans les bouchons, les plages, la luge d'été, le paddle... Nos 2 garçons souhaitaient découvrir la montagne en été, ils en gardent un super souvenir. Nous avons pris tous nos repas en extérieur, sur une terrasse qui surplombe la vallée, au son lointain des cloches des vaches. Pour ne rien gâcher, le champion de france du fromage Abondance n'est qu'à 1.5km, nous avons donc refait nos stocks... :). Sandie, Guy, encore merci pour votre accueil.
Très beau coin de paradis hors de la ville avec superbe vue et calme sérénité et les propriétaires très gentils avec de bons conseils et près à vous aider si possible encore merci à eux pour ce séjours et à bientôt

Très bon accueil.
Chalet fonctionnel et petite terrasse très agréable avec une vue magnifique.
Très bon emplacement, dans la montagne, proxhe du lac. On aimerait y revenir
Très bonne semaine passée en famille dans un cadre magnifique. Endroit calme et reposant. Accueil très chaleureux avec de très bons conseils pour visiter la région.
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Wir wurden bestens von Guy begrüßt und erhielten viele Tipps für unsere Wanderungen und Radtouren. Diese Ruhe ... für beste Erholung. Nur Kuhglocken aus der Ferne und das tägliche Vogelkonzert bei uns im Garten. Was will man mehr ...
Wir kommen gerne wieder
