An Aravis ski pass will access 220km of ski runs covering the resorts of Manigod/La Clusaz/ Col de Balme/Le Grand Bornand/Saint Jean de Sixt. Ski shuttle buses operate between all the resorts. Please note the AI generated Google map indicators are not to be relied on, for example Google shows us to be within 0.8km of the nearest ski lift, which is correct in that we are below the Merdassier lift but there is no road access only a 500m steep climb!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by CLIVE PAYNE
The Aravis Mountains captured our imagination over 20 years ago, and we were fortunate enough to secure a plot of land in the much coveted Manigod Valley. The chalet was built to our specifications, as a family home. It is rewarding to hear our children, 25 years on, refer to l'Homme de la Lune as 'home'. Indeed, they have grown up spending all their holidays here, summer and winter; and have enjoyed to the full everything the region has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Clive and Kim say 'We never tire of the views from our chalet, from every window - breathtaking. Mont Charvin rears up majestically overlooking the rural vista of the valley below, tiny chapels and hamlets of ancient chalets undisturbed with time. We enjoy the many routed walks that start from close by us , sometimes lucky enough to bring back some chanterelle or myrtilles. The children have always enjoyed a short climb up the hill to the local cheese farm to collect the local Reblochon. Perhaps the most valued treasure of our chalet is the peace - it is a friendly little hamlet with barely any through traffic to disturb the tranquillity. In summer we often visited the local trout fishery to fish for our supper in the lake near Thones. The the fun of BBQ- the 'plat de jour' and sitting on the deck with a bottle of wine watching the mountains turn pink as the sun goes down. Equally, in the winter, there are many gatherings of friends around our generous dining table with a raclette meal and the log fire crackling away. It's near the village and a short drive from the pistes. We love it as much in winter as in summer. There is always something to do around here, and it's always a pleasure to enjoy the warmth and comfort of our home away from home after a long day of activities outside.'
What makes this property unique
Its ideal location, in a calm and spectacular landscape across the towering Aravis mountain range. In our humble opinion one of the best views in Comburce. Easy access by vehicle to the family ski resorts of Croix/Fry/Merdassier (11km) where our children started their first ski lessons, progressing to the popular resort of La Clusaz (20km) but so lovely to return to a peaceful evening around the fire away from the busy bustle of resort life. Sundowners on the generous deck with friends around the BBQ is unbeatable. Many routed walks and hikes for all abilities, the local cascades are a favourite. We welcome well behaved pets, if they are reliable around summer grazing livestock. The local area also boasts a wide range of MTB and E bike routes, pick up maps from the Office of Tourism in Manigod Village
