OVO Network is the market leader in premium chalet rentals in authentic mountain destinations. Chalet La Chandelle is an OVO Network property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Chalet La Chandelle is a three-storey property for up to 12 guests. It's situated in Bionnassay, a small village above the busy resort of Saint-Gervais (8km), but you'll feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere! The open-plan living area on the first floor has a well-equipped kitchen with a large range cooker. The large dining table overlooks the terrace and the garden beyond, and there's a cosy sitting area with a wood fire. The furnished terrace has a dining table, a barbecue and a pizza oven, and there are several places where you can sit in the garden and admire the views - why not light the fire pit and make a night of it! The chalet enjoys a secluded position at the end of a 200m track, just off a communal road. Although the communal road is cleared of snow daily in the winter, it might be difficult to access after heavy snow. The owners have two 4x4 cars which they rent out - please check at the time of booking if you would like to use these. Groups of more than 10 people can book Chalet La Chandelle with the Grand Mazot La Chandelle (2-4 guests) and/or the Petit Mazot La Chandelle (two guests), giving a total capacity of up to 16 guests. The chalet is in a preserved location, 200 metres from the main road. It is accessible via a tarmac road which is cleared daily in case of heavy snowfalls in the winter season, however winter tyres and/or snow chains are still mandatory. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended. If required, the owner offers one small 4x4 vehicles for hire. Please contact us for more information. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

Saint-Gervais, as well as nearby Combloux and Megève, are part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, and a 30-minute drive to the Espace Diamant, which comprises Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Voland, Flumet, and Les Saisies. Experienced skiers looking for some stunning night skiing should head for the Vallée Blanche - do hire a guide for this 23km run which, with a 2,000m drop, will take you from the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace, an almost surreal experience under a full moon. It's also possible using touring or hybrid skis to ascend from the chalet to the Col de Voza, where you can ski in the Les Houches area. For a change from skiing, why not try dog-sledding or snow-shoe walking, which are both available within a short drive of Chalet La Chandelle. For a little more adventure, why not try ice climbing, via ferrata or paragliding? In the summer, the mountains become the domain of walkers and cyclists. There's so much to see in this varied landscape, explore the Bionnassay or Argentière glacier or perhaps the Baroque footpath, a 20km trail from Combloux to Les Contamines-Montjoie, which takes you past some of the area's finest baroque buildings. Look out for marmots along the way! Fancy a swim? Head for Lac de Passy where you can relax in the pure waters fed by mountain streams, surrounded by wildflowers and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Take a picnic and relax while the kids enjoy the great play area. There's also a treetop adventure course, pedalos and mini-golf, as well as windsurfing, paddle boarding and fishing - it's a great family day out. And at the end of an exhilarating day, return to soak in the Nordic hot tub at Chalet La Chandelle, enjoy the sunset from the garden, get together on the cosy sofas and plan your next mountain adventure.
