About Chalet Flocon Magique ...
This fabulous spacious chalet in St-Jean-de-Sixt will make the perfect base for two or three families looking for a great base in the mountains.
Sitting above the village, Chalet Flocon Magique has fabulous views on all sides, and is surrounded by fields where children can play safely. Halfway between the Lake Annecy ski resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, you really couldn’t pick a better location for a great holiday.
There’s plenty of room for up to 12 people (9 adults), and two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, making it suitable for those with limited mobility.
Facilities, too, are second to none - there's a fabulous spa room with a sauna and state-of-the-art 5.5m counter-current pool, which is powerful enough to give even the most serious athlete a challenging workout, while still allowing families to relax in the jacuzzi section. It even filters and cleans its own water, changing the entire contents of the pool at least twice an hour!
The property ...
The focus of this luxury chalet is the double-height living area, which has fabulous views down the valley towards Thônes.
A lot of thought has gone in to making this area perfect for a large group, with modular sofas that you can arrange however you like, under-floor heating, and a huge dining table so that you can all sit down to eat together. The kitchen has a range cooker and everything you need to cook up a feast.
There's a TV room on the mezzanine level, leaving the ground floor seating area for those who want to relax around the fire or for a different TV program. The chalet also has a Bluetooth sound system with great BOSE speakers, so that you can listen to your favourite tracks during your stay.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible too - there are five bedrooms including 3 double beds which can be separated into twins, 1 double bed, 1 single bed and 3 pull-out beds. Five bathrooms, four of them en suite, mean you won't have to queue in the morning.
There is even a dedicated kit room, which means that at the end of a hard day on the hill, everyone can remove all of their wet kit, set boots to dry on the boot warmers, gloves on the glove warmers, there's a washing machine, tumble drier and sink. Everything can be ready to go again the following morning without mountains of boots, jackets and other gear cluttering up the rest of the chalet.
About the area ...
Chalet Flocon Magique is ideally placed for skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities. Just grab your gloves, boots and skis from the chalet’s heated ski store and head for the snow-sure resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand, just a few minutes drive away.
These resorts are linked to Manigod by a regular ski bus and an Aravis ski pass covers all of them, giving you more than 200km of pistes to explore. There’s great terrain for cross-country skiers too.
Non-skiers will find plenty to keep them occupied, with a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, ice skating rink and cinema, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides.Thrill-seekers should head for the Bun-J-Ride in St-Jean-de-Sixt!
Recharge your batteries at the end of the day in the sauna and swim-spa pool at Chalet Flocon Magique, where you can enjoy the fabulous view as you relax or work out.
If you are visiting in the summer, why not start the day with a sauna or an invigorating swim in Chalet Flocon Magique’s counter-current pool, then plan your day over breakfast on the sunny south-facing terrace.
There’s no shortage of walks from Chalet Flocon Magique, from mountain trails to hiking on the Glières plateau, the scene of the Resistance’s campaign in World War II.
Adrenalin junkies are well catered for too, with paragliding, canyoning, climbing, via ferrata, mountain-biking ( there are four bikes available at the chalet) and white-water rafting just some of the activities on offer within a few miles of St-Jean-de-Sixt.
After a fun-filled day, kids can let off steam in the fields, while the adults enjoy a quiet drink and watch the sun sink behind the mountains...

The OVO Network Review
A contemporary chalet for 12 (max 9 adults) with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, Flocon Magique has 270m2 of floor space spread out over two floors plus a mezzanine level TV room.
There are many extra features and facilities at Chalet Flocon Magique including a fabulous spa with a 5m long pool/ jacuzzi with counter current, sauna and shower, that overlooks the garden towards the Aravis mountains. There's a kit room with boot and glove warmers, 4 mountain bikes for guests to use, a Bose sound system, modular seating in both lounges (which can be easily and swiftly reconfigured to suit your group), and an open fire, all on top of the minimum equipment supplied by all owners of OVO Network properties.
There are lots of extra touches to help guests enjoy this property to the maximum, as the owners frequently use and enjoy the property themselves!
St Jean is just over 3km from La Clusaz and Grand Bornand, so for groups containing skiers and non skiers who prefer calm, serene unspoilt views, and walks from the door, this property is perhaps the one for you. It is equally as appealing in the summer months too when the garden space really comes into it's own.

From the owner
Régine & Patrick
“December 2004, Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, and our first visit to La Mouille.
An amazing thing happened.
The sun was shining and everywhere was green - and then a snowflake landed on the tip of my son's nose. Then 2, 3, 4 - in two hours, the scene was transformed - a blanket of snow covered the fields and forest.
Magic! Since that day, we've not been able to stay away from this place, whatever the season. Saint-Jean-de-Sixt is a busy working village.
The pharmacy and the lovely shopkeepers are there all year, even in low season.
The ski slopes of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand are just five minutes away by car. La Mouille itself is peaceful, but there's plenty to do: you can go sledging in the fields; take the footpath opposite the chalet and walk or snowshoe to Danay, or just spend a quiet evening in front of the fire, admiring the magnificent view of the mountains and the valley. There's something for everyone here.
We find Chalet Flocon Magique enchanting, and we hope that you, like us, will find peace here during your holidays.
