About this property

Le Chatox, the best view from any chalet in the alps ! Ski, cycle, trek, chill.

We have special rates for couples and small groups of 4 or less, just call us to enquire +44 7971 915316. We also have E Bikes for hire. Tucked away in the corner of this attractive little hamlet, Le Chatox gives you one of the most stunning views from any chalet you'll find in the alps. So much so, that we went the extra mile and doubled the size of the balcony so you can now dine outside or just lounge under the spot lights taking in the view. In fact, turn off the light and wonder at the night sky as you enjoy your fav nightcap star gazing! In the morning the view will change hourly so grab the chatox binoculars to spot the birds of prey and the Les Bauges wildlife. We always like to have a chat with prospective guests to make sure we've got everything you're looking for to make the most of your holiday in Les Bauges (the Wallows), an area of outstanding natural beauty, heritage and tradition. We ask you call Paul or Wendy first +447971915316 before booking in case you have any specifics not answered here or to just ensure we have what you're looking for. Its really important to us that we ensure we meet expectations. Le Chatox makes a great base to explore a wide range of outdoor activities or to simply relax and chill in the fresh mountain air with stunning views from your private terrace balcony or garden patio. Situated on a hillside on the outskirts of Le Chatelard in the heart of the Massif des Bauges regional park, Le Chatox enjoys superb views through the valley towards the mountains and is a just 30 minutes from the beautiful towns of Annecy,Chambery and Aix-Les Bains.

The lounge is open plan with an L shaped sofa for 6 and an additional two seater sofa. We also have a rocking chair for bird watching and telescope for star gazing! There's a book selection, games cupboard and guitar if you play. TV (UK only) and DVD with a CD film selection for evenings in or chess and cards if you prefer. Apologies that we for no French TV . Free WiFI through Le Chatox. The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, Di Longi coffee machine, and Wendy's spice cabinet! There's a fondu, BBQ and raclette set for meat and cheese fondue lovers. The Morso Squirrel wood stove puts out big heat in winter to couple with underfloor heating and there is a bathroom/shower on each floor. Le Chatox was built with light and space in mind so we have a sliding door to a patio at the side of the chalet to the garden with 4 sun loungers. A great area to BBQ.

The terrace balcony is huge and you can entertain there seating 8 at the table for major dinners and BBQ's. We tend to spend most time here as we chose the plot deliberately for the stunning view of Dent de Rossanz or 'booby mountain' to our guests.

In the 'cave' or ground floor is garage parking and room for our full size competition table tennis. On a fine day just wheel it out in the sun! We also have 4 tennis rackets for the courts in the village.

Our village Le Chatelard remains unspoilt and retains a certain rustic charm with its old store fronts and little alleys leading up towards the church. It is a quiet, friendly village with a large supermarket, bakery, bar and excellent restaurant, tourist information, bank, post office and a local food market every Friday morning.

Les Bauges is a walkers paradise. Great family skiing is here at unbeatable prices away from crowds. There are 5 resorts all within 30 mins from your home. This is cycling heaven with awesome routes used in the Tour de France. I can advise on routes for all abilities.

Beautiful Annecy is nearby for swimming and exploring the old town called 'little Venice'. It was recently voted one of the most beautiful places to visit in France. Our local lake with restaurant and flumes, tennis and fun for little ones is just 10 minutes away! The French will wonder how you discovered their secret resort! All just 1 hour from Geneva airport. 8.00hrs from Calais. Just get in touch with Paul or Wendy on +447971 915316 for a chat so we can tailor your holiday personally.

Superbe maison et très belle région
La maison/chalet de Paul et Wendy est vraiment parfaite pour les familles, entre autre. L'ambiance y est chaleureuse, la vue magnifique, les chambres très agréables et pratiques et tout est fait pour s'y sentir chez soi. Et en plus il y a des terrasses où il fait bon déjeuner au soleil. Le massif des Bauges est en outre, une région magnifique. Nous recommandons chaleureusement ! Merci Paul et Wendy pour votre accueil.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Tuohy

Host profile image
Paul works for a national UK Charity and Wendy is a nursing specialist . We have been going to France for our holidays since 1986 traveling the country in our 1959 VW camper- now deceased. We've been to most departments in France but the Savoie, Annecy and in particular the Bauges National Park (the wallows) had a profound impact on us that one day we vowed to own a property there. Le Chatox is the result, Completed in July 09. When the Tour de France came by Le Chatox in 2013 our journey was complete. What a day that was! This is our home from home and we want to share the great outdoors with like minded people. One day we hope to live there, but for now..... Le Chatox is here for you. Call him on +447971915316 to discuss your holiday requirements.

Why they chose this property

Surrounded by cities of Annecy, Aix-les-Bains, Chambery and Albertville, the mountain range of the Bauges in Savoie looks like a fortress as you drive into it. There are six roads that lead into the heart of this 'island in the sky' and its 'capital village' is Le Chatelard. Once in this designed area of outstanding natural beauty, the countryside slants slowly toward the villages, vast fields and forests. The inhabitants called "Baujus" are warm mountain people who are willing to share the love for their region. By horse, donkey, foot, bike, paraglider, ski or snowshoe the Massive of the Bauges has something for everyone. If you need more info Paul and Wendy are on hand to advise. +447971915316 . Bauges an all year round paradise with something for lovers of all four seasons or just one. We built our Chatox here in Les Bauges because its a step back in time and and we love it and want t share the experience. If you love beach hols, towels down on the sunbed and all inclusive then don't book here ! This is a little different. At one with nature but in your own comfy accommodation. Just see our 5 Star reviews here and Trip Advisor for confidence.

What makes this property unique

Being quite literally in the centre of a national park, our chalet, Le Chatox, is brilliantly located. Its key convenience is because of all 14 villages in Les Bauges there is only one major supermarket (Carrefour)and its in our village! 15-30 mins away are FIVE amazing ski resorts, unbelievable cycling, walks, swimming and Aix le-Bain, Annecy and Chambery only 30 min away for day trips. We built here in 2009 and made sure we had the biggest terrace balcony for eating out with friends and family with 8 seated comfortably and a view to die for facing the mountains. Star gazing, bird watching, butterfly chasing appear to be popular with guests! The locals are warm, friendly and eager for you to enjoy yourselves. Les Bauges is hidden in a distant time...we hope it stays that way. go to www.lesbauges.com to learn more about this amazing location. We have WIFI throughout Le Chatox
