Overview
Embrace the Alpine charm of this 4-bedroom wooden chalet perfectly positioned between Lake Annecy and the Aravis mountains, just over a 10-minute drive from the lakeside beaches of Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires.
The owner spent his childhood at Vue Des Pentes following his parents’ move to the region for their love of the nature, fishing, mountains and skiing. Having undergone a recent renovation, the chalet exudes authentic character alongside contemporary style. The cosy lounge opens up to a brand new kitchen and dining area with two sets of doors leading to the garden terrace, a lovely place to spend time with family and friends.
The chalet sleeps up to 8 guests across four double bedrooms (three of which can be made up as twin beds) including two attractive doubles beneath the eaves upstairs, an en suite double bedroom on the main floor and one downstairs with its own shower room.
The garden is a delight at any time of year whether making snowmen in the winter or making the most of the lawn and children’s slide in warmer months. Serve delicious Savoy feasts on the terrace, laze back in the outdoor lounge and enjoy the hot tub overlooking the verdant garden.
There is a little village within 1.5km an auberge serving good home-cooked food for lunch and some evening meals. Drive down to Lake Annecy with the pretty village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard just over a 10-minute drive away or head further inland to the picturesque mountain town of Thônes, 8km by car, for shops, restaurants, supermarkets and a Saturday morning market.
You have good access to winter skiing with La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand around half an hour away, both also wonderful in the summer with amazing hiking, rock-climbing and mountain biking alongside gentler walks through the glorious scenery.
Back down to the lake, discover waterside restaurants, summer watersports, boat taxis, a beautiful golf course and the 43km-long cycling loop around Lake Annecy. Furthermore, spend the day experiencing the historic beauty of medieval Annecy, known as the ‘Venice of the Alps’ with its canals, ancient bridges, atmospheric markets and impressive architecture.

Location
About the surrounding area of Vue Des PentesOnly 8km from lakeside Menthon-Saint-Bernard and its fairytale château, Vue Des Pentes benefits from being close to Lake Annecy and the Aravis mountains in the beautiful Haute-Savoie region of France.
There is an auberge in the small local village (1.5km) within walking distance following a country road (no pavement) or a wider choice of shops, restaurants, supermarkets and a delightful Saturday morning market in the mountain town of Thônes (8km). The gateway to the Aravis mountain resorts, Thônes is a great place for hiking and cycling as well as snowshoeing/cross-country skiing as the snow arrives. Try the delicious Reblochon cheese in local farms dotted across the countryside alongside other regional gastronomic delights.
In the other direction, the charming Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires are gorgeous places to explore with lakeside beaches, summer watersports, boat taxis and pretty restaurants overlooking Lake Annecy. Play golf in wonderful surroundings at the 18-hole Golf du Lac d'Annecy (10km) and follow sign-posted trails through the natural landscapes of Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère.
The magnificent lakeside town of Annecy (12km) is a must-visit during your stay, a joy to explore with its medieval architecture, canals, photogenic bridges and rich heritage. Not to mention so many shops, restaurants and museums including the fascinating 13th century Le Palais de I'Île in the heart of the old town. Stroll around Les Jardins de L’Europe for magnificent views of Lake Annecy.
Back to mountain activities, La Clusaz (20km) is a superb spot for winter skiing and remains an Alpine playground in the summer months with tobogganing, hiking, mountain biking and more. Le Grand-Bornand (20km) is another fantastic skiing resort with a wealth of other outdoor activities once the snow clears from canyoning, paragliding, horse-riding, rafting and more.

Region
With stunning Alpine scenery and serene turquoise waters, Lake Annecy is a fine destination throughout the year whether you are visiting for winter skiing in the mountains or summer watersports on the glistening water.
Known as the “Venice of the Alps”, Annecy town is located at the northern tip of the lake. Wander by its charming canals in the medieval town, stroll across the famous Pont Perrière before reaching the lakeside promenade with the most magnificent vistas throughout the year. Wintertime brings enchanting Christmas markets and the town’s ice-rink, then there’s the vibrant Venetian carnival and spring marathon before the weather allows you to make the most of Annecy’s summer café terraces and gorgeous parks.
In the summer months enjoy a range of lakeside activities such as swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding and boat rides, all in spectacular surroundings. Cyclists of all abilities will love the voie verte that loops around the lake again passing breathtaking scenery.
Wherever you stay around the lake, explore pretty villages and lakeside beaches. Pick up regional specialities at Saint-Jorioz’s Thursday morning market, cycle through the old railway tunnel to medieval Duingt, dine in one of Talloires’s highly regarded restaurants and admire the majestic Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard.
Head into the mountains for authentic market towns, farms, incredible hikes and a great range of wintersports. Thônes is the gateway to the Aravis mountain resorts such as La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, both a superb place for skiing in the winter and home to a wealth of alpine activities in the summer. On the other side of the lake, appreciate the beauty of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park and admire the magnificence of the Semnoz mountain.
Whether relaxing by the lake or venturing into the mountains, experience hearty Savoyard cuisine. The region enjoys a rich culinary heritage – try fondue, raclette and tartiflette in authentic hôtels or fish from the lake accompanied by fine regional wine in high-end restaurants overlooking the idyllic shores.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren will love the garden at Vue Des Pentres with its little play area and plenty of room to run around or throw snowballs as grown-ups watch on from the terrace. There are board games inside for cosy evenings whilst baby equipment such as a highchair, cot, baby bath and changing mat can be provided on request.
This is the best of the lake and mountains. In just over a 10-minute drive are the shores of Lake Annecy. Discover seasonal watersports and pretty beaches in Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires alongside lovely sign-posted trails through the Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère. There are some fantastic cycling opportunities around the lake alongside a tree-trop adventure centre near Talloires.
In the other direction, venture towards the Aravis mountains with fantastic skiing - La Clusaz is half an hour away. If staying in warmer months, families will appreciate beautiful walks alongside mountain biking, hiking, indoor ice-skating and even tobogganing. Les Confins Leisure Park also offers all sorts of activities such as inflatables, trampolining and zip wires, usually open mid-May to early November, whilst seasonal tree-top trails at Aravis Parc d'Aventures (8km) are even closer to home.

Great stay!
Great stay! The chalet is extremely clean. The jacuzzi is a real bonus. Magnigod ski slope 20-30 minutes away by car. Chalet in a quiet location close to Thônes and all shops.
-
Wonderful
Well-equipped and very comfortable chalet in beautiful surroundings close to Annecy. We had a wonderful week's holiday here - hiking, paragliding, paddleboarding, canoeing, and swimming in the lake at Menthon St Bernard and Talloires. The views from the top of Semnoz were fantastic. Dog-friendly, although the garden is not fully enclosed, this wasn't a problem for us. We also made good use of the hot tub. We will miss the lovely views of the mountains and beautiful Lake Annecy but hope to return.
