Opening period
All year round.
Description
Nestling amid green mountain pastures at 1,000 metres above sea level, the 200 year-old walls of La Chavane stand in the peaceful hamlet of Plan Montmin. Nearby, the Forclaz Pass offers an exceptional panoramic view over Lake Annecy.
Catherine and Benoît are pleased to welcome you all year round in the Massif des Bornes-Aravis, not far from the Massif des Bauges, in an old mountain farm typical of the region.
Four spacious and cosy rooms, each with private bathroom and separate toilet, can accommodate up to 3 people (one of them 4). A large common living room with a large work or game table and a cosy reading corner with numerous books and board games is available to guests.
A table d'hôtes meal is occasionally possible for groups and on reservation.
Only 5 minutes away, the Col de la Forclaz, a paragliding and hang-gliding paradise, also well known to cyclists and hikers, offers an unforgettable view of Lake Annecy.
Mountain walks and hikes, canyoning, paragliding and hang-gliding from the Forclaz pass, swimming and water sports on Lake Annecy... The most beautiful outdoor activities are within easy reach of La Chavane du Plan.
And when the snow is there, you can go snowshoeing from the house or try your hand at downhill skiing on the gentle slopes of the charming resort of Montmin at the foot of the Col de la Forclaz.
Summer or winter, whether you are a fan of board sports, in the air, on the snow or on the water, an experienced cyclist, a mountain walker or simply in search of peace and quiet, La Chavane will seduce you.
Your hosts
Pure Parisian products, we ended up leaving the capital, its pollution, its stress and its concrete, to settle in the Northern Alps and indulge in our passion at the time: hang-gliding.
Later, Benoit left behind a few decades of professional life spent behind a desk to negotiate a 180° turn and launch himself into the tourist accommodation business. That's how we ended up in the village of Plan Montmin, a little corner of paradise where we live in the company of our horses.
It's this peaceful, beautiful, simple and authentic place that we'd love you to discover.
