The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

There are an abundance of activities in Winter or Summer in the Haute-Savoie region. The region encompasses a large part of the French Alps and consists of 110 resorts.

Activities include Skiing, Hiking or Walking, Water Sports, Cycling, Golf and Horse riding.

The Le Cernix / Crest Voland area

The apartment is located in the village of Le Cernix which is next to Crest Voland, a pretty village 20 mins drive from the exclusive and bustling resort of Megeve.

It is at the heart of The Espace Diamant ski area, situated at the foot of Mont Blanc. The area has 185 km of alpine slopes and comprises the five villages of Les Saisies, Crest-Voland, Notre Dame de Bellecombe, Flumet and Praz sur Arly.

The resort gained its first lift in 1951 and has grown steadily ever since, the creation of the link to Les Saises in 1985 formed the original 'Espace Crystal' ski region. The "Espace Cristal" now links to Les Saisies and Crest-Voland - Cohennoz, to form "Espace Diamant". From December 2005 this area has also been linked to Notre-Dame de Bellecombe, Flumet and Praz sur Arly.

It is ideal for families and couples, the slopes suit beginners and intermediate level skiers. There are also black runs for the more advanced skiers but is mainly made up of blue and red runs.

Please see link to piste map for exact details :

http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/maps/images/largemaps/1130.pdf

The slopes are unspolit and uncrowded and the Apres ski is fairly low key. There are 12 Bars, 9 Restaurants and one night club in Crest Voland. In Le Cernix (a few minutes from Crest Voland) there are several restaurants, a few bars, deli and Le Pub.

The area has also a large Nordic network of cross country trails which run through the heavily wooded countryside surrounding the village.

There is plenty to enjoy in the summer too. Lying on the “Route des Grandes Alpes”, Val d’Arly is the perfect base for excursions into the surrounding countryside, whether by car, on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback. Other activities in the area include golf, white water sports and fishing.

The heated swimming pool is also open in Winter and Summer seasons and has a large sundeck outside with lovely views of the mountains.

If you want a relaxing, convenient and authentically french traditional resort then this apartment is for you. Please contact us if you have any questions at all by using the contact form below.

Guestbook for Le Chalet des Oursons

We had a fantastic time. Plenty of snow, 4 days of glorious sunny weather. Ski slopes well prepared and great choice of runs to cater for our variable abilities. The village is charming, people friendly and local food great. Your appartament is a real home from home; comfortable, lovely decorated and warm. We had everything we needed. Thank you very much for allowing us to spend the holidays there. We would like to come back again next year.

The Radomska Family, Kent UK and Poland. (December 2011, booked to return next year)


Thank you, we had an excellent holiday and fortunately the weather was very good for us. We were exceedingly happy with the chalet.
(The Prestons, August 2011)

The apartment was great and just right for us; having two showers made life easier on return from the slopes. Kitchen and living room great. Also having two keys made life easier when we weren't all together. The skiing was perfect for our level and especially for teenage boys. The slopes were very close (I presumed that the 5/6mins was an exaggeration, but no...) and it was great to ski back in. The shops were close too and more than adequate for the week.
We would recommend the apartment and the resort. Thanks for your help in organising the holiday
The O' Donnell Family, Leeds (January 2011)

All great, and super, had a wonderful time- hard to see how you could get a better resort for families, reasonable prices, uncrowned pistes, friendly and really well run resort, all French!, brilliant skiing,everything easy and convenient, apartment super and really comfortable. Would highly recommend it and will hopefully be back! Its a real find.
The Lee Family from nr Cheltenham (March 2009)

The apartment was wonderful and had everything we needed, and of course it is so convenient for the ski slopes - we were able to ski to the back door, which was great.
Susan and Gary from Durham (February 2009)

We had a fantastic time in Le Cernix,the ski slopes are just minutes away, the chalet was so homely and comfortable, great spot for familes and singles alike. Everything you would need is there for you! The pool was fab too! Will def be back next year, will be recommending it to our friends.
Marian Frawley & Catriona Casey (April 2009)

Thank you for providing us with such a splendid base for our holiday. It was a memorable stay - scenery absolutely stunning and we will not forget going up the chair lift from Crest Voland and seeing the first view of Mont Blanc appearing over the horizon. Superb! Pierre was tremendously helpful, you are lucky having such a reliable & helpful resouce close by. Anyway many thanks again, I hope we are able to stay at 'Les Oursons' again sometime in the future.
