Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Summer or winter, this chalet makes a great base for exploring the French Alps. Set in the charming village of Manigod, you'll be treated to stunning views across the Aravis mountains – best enjoyed with a glass of bubbly or a mug of hot chocolate on the balcony. It's got everything you need for a relaxed getaway, from a revolving fireplace to boot warmers and ski storage in the garage. Though it can sleep ten with the bunk beds in use, we think it's best for eight adults and two children. Location-wise, you're just ten minutes from the Croix Fry ski station, so you can hit the slopes with ease.
The Plum Promise
