Whether you are looking for a winter base, from which you can ski the 220km of Aravis pistes, or a summer retreat for mountain sports such as hiking, climbing and mountain biking, you couldn't make a better choice. There is plenty of space for two families or a group of friends, and guests with limited mobility are well catered for with a lift connecting the three floors. Set over three floors, this stunning ski lodge has everything you need for a very special holiday. Enter on the first floor, where you'll find three beautiful en suite double bedrooms, one of which has a single bunk above the double bed. All of the bedrooms have access to the terrace - the perfect place for that morning cuppa. This floor is also where you'll find the cinema room, complete with big screen and reclining sofas. Stairs lead down from here to the double garage and the spacious ski room, which has a boot warmer and room to dryyour kit, or up to the large open plan living area. Here there is a well-equipped modern kitchen and a spacious dining area with an extending table, where everyone can enjoy a meal together at the end of the day.
After dinner, read or relax with friends on the glass mezzanine floor, which is furnished with large floor cushions, or on the cosy sofas around the modern fireplace. On clear nights, take a glass of wine on to the south-facing terrace where you can enjoy a jacuzzi as the sun sets over the Aravis mountains. There's another double en suite bedroom on this floor, but all the floors are connected by a lift, making it suitable for guests with limited mobility. PRA 0320 overlooks the popular La Balme ski area in La Clusaz in the Hameau de la Morraz, just 2km from the ski lift. Parking at the lift is free, but if you'd rather leave the car at home, you can catch the ski bus just 300m from your door.
The ski bus will also take you in to La Clusaz, as well as to Le Grand Bornand and the Col de La Croix-Fry in Manigod, where more fabulous skiing awaits you. The great value Aravis ski pass covers 220km of pistes and 95 lifts - more than enough to keep skiers and boarders of all abilities busy. Cross-country skiers and snowshoe walkers will find great terrain at the nearby Lac des Confins and the Glieres plateau, scene of the French Resistance campaign in World War II. In La Clusaz village, you'll will find an ice rink, heated indoor and outdoor pools, spa centres and a cinema, as well as a wide choice of shops, bars and restaurants. If you're looking for a challenge away from the pistes, try sledging, dog-sledding and sleigh rides, all within a few miles of your luxury chalet. In the summer, pack in the sporting action or relax in the jacuzzi on the balcony of your luxury La Clusaz chalet. There are plenty of walks from Sweet Nest Lodge, or you can take the lift up into the mountains for some high-altitude hiking or biking.
There's a tennis club and riding centre just up the road at Lac des Confins, and other activities within easy reach of La Clusaz, include white-water rafting, canyoning, via ferrata and para-gliding. The beautiful medieval town of Annecy, with a wide selection of unique shops and restaurants, is less than 30 minutes drive away. Its lake, the cleanest in Europe, is a great place for swimming and water sports, or you could just hire a boat and explore some of the peaceful lakeside beaches.
