Chalet Serbijanka

Chalet Serbijanka is situated on the main road from Manigod to the pistes at La Croix Fry. Road noise might be an issue when you're sitting on the terrace, but the upside is that with the road regularly cleared of snow, you'll have quick and easy access at all times.

As mentioned, the owner runs a health spa on the ground floor of the chalet, although this is completely separate from the chalet. Spa guests have a separate parking area and entrance, so chalet guests should not be disturbed.

About the property ...

Chalet Serbijanka is a three-storey chalet for 14 guests, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms as well as a sauna, steam room and hot tub.

There's an outdoor ski room and bike store, where you can leave your outdoor gear when you return from a busy day in the mountains before heading for the sauna and steam room on the chalet's lower ground floor. There's also a WC, a range of cupboards and a laundry area on this floor.

Take the stairs up to the open-plan living area on the ground floor, where you'll find two seating areas. The first has a huge sofa, chairs and a coffee table in front of the windows, and is the perfect place to enjoy the view and a chat at the end of the day. Next to this is a smaller area, with another sofa and two chairs in front of the electric fire and guests can curl up with a book or watch television.

There's plenty of room for everyone to eat together at the large dining table, but if you just want to grab a quick snack before heading out for the day, there's a handy breakfast bar in the well-equipped kitchen. Doors open from here on to the wraparound terrace, which has another dining table in a covered area, chairs for sunbathing and the hot tub, which is perfectly placed to enjoy the incredible view of the mountains.

The first of the bedrooms is on this floor - it's a double room with a king size bed, a shower room and an office area. There's also a separate WC.

There are four more bedrooms on the top floor. The main room is a double with a king size bed, a freestanding bath, a desk area and an en suite shower room. There are two more double rooms, both with a king size bed, an en suite shower and WC. The final room is designed with children in mind - it has three sets of bunk beds, a television and an en suite shower room. Younger guests will also appreciate the games room on this floor, which has table football beanbags and doors to the balcony.

There are parking spaces for guests in front of the chalet.

About the area ...

Chalet Serbijanka is well-placed to enjoy everything the La Clusaz area has to offer. You’re 2km from the village of Manigod and just a five-minute drive from the pistes and restaurants at Croix Fry (altitude 1500m). Here novice skiers can learn the basics with an ESF instructor, while the more experienced will enjoy the 220km of pistes that link the area to La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand.

Parking at the pistes is free, but if you’d rather leave the car at home, the ski bus stops just 150m from the chalet and will have you on the slopes in no time.

Cross-country skiers will find plenty of trails to choose from, and non-skiers are not forgotten either, with a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, ice skating rink and cinema, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides all just a short drive away.

In the summer, you can fill your days with activities or take it easy - you’ll be spoiled for choice in the Aravis region. There’s no shortage of walks, from mountain trails to hiking on the Gliéres plateau.

If road or mountain biking is more your style, the chalet overlooks the route of the Tour de France when it passes through Manigod on the way to La Clusaz. In summer some of the ski lifts become bike lifts - take the easy way up and come down at your own pace.

Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, or white-water rafting - just some of the many activities on offer within a few miles of Manigod.

Lake Annecy is only a 30-minute drive away and offers lots of watersports including waterskiing, wake-boarding, sailing, and diving. If this all sounds too energetic, why not just take a cruise, or hire a boat and find yourself a quiet lakeside beach? Whatever you do, you’re sure to have a holiday you won’t forget.
