Chalet K1027

Cordon is known as "the balcony of Mont Blanc" for its stunning views of France's highest mountain and the surrounding peaks. But despite its authentic character and relaxed pace of life, it offers easy access to great skiing, hiking and biking.

You'll find several shops, restaurants and bars in Cordon, but you can also drive to Sallanches or Megève for more variety, in just a 10 or 20-minute drive respectively.

About the property...

This three-storey chalet will be a wonderful holiday base for 12 (10 adults), with five bedrooms and six bath/showerrooms, as well as a sauna, steam room and hot tub.

If you enter through the garage on the lower ground floor, you'll find plenty of storage, a ski rack and boot warmer, a laundry area and table football. There's also a gym and games room with a treadmill, exercise bike, and TV area. There's a WC and a shower for guests using the hot tub and sauna which are on the terrace. There's also a bunk room for four on this floor and a spacious bathroom with a shower. It's a great floor for teenagers, who will want to make this floor their own!

The main living area and the main entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor. A stunning dining table made by the owner takes pride of place in front of the balcony, to make the most of the incredible view. A fireplace separates this area from a cosy sitting area, with large sofas and a TV. The sleek kitchen has everything you need to cater for a large group, including a large induction hob, an oven, microwave and dishwasher. The stylish breakfast bar has five stools and a recreation of the chalet's view made in metal, again by the owner.

Doors lead from the dining area and the kitchen out onto the wraparound balcony, where you'll find a barbecue and dining area, and a sunbathing area. There are steps leading down to the sauna and hot tub on the lower terrace.

The stairs to the top floor open onto another seating area with a pool table and doors to another balcony – the view just keeps getting better!. There are four bedrooms off this living area: three double bedrooms and a twin room, each with an en-suite shower room. All of the rooms have TVs and two of them have doors to the balcony.

There's a small area of garden outside the chalet, as well as a parking area.

About the area...

For a small village, Cordon packs a big punch for winter sports. You can drive to the village’s family-friendly slopes in five minutes, or take the shuttle bus, which stops 400m from the chalet.

There’s plenty more skiing a little further afield – a 10-minute drive will take you to the Évasion Mont-Blanc area of Combloux, Megève, and Saint-Gervais. Beyond that, 30 minutes away, is the Espace Diamant, linking Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Volant, Flumet, and Les Saisies, which hosted the winter Olympics in 1992.

For an evening you will never forget, ski the eerily beautiful Vallée Blanche under a full moon – accompanied by a guide, this 23km run with a 2,000m drop will take you from the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace.

Other winter sports just minutes away from Chalet K1027 include dog-sledding, and snow-shoe walking.

There is just as much to do in the summer – the mountains are a magnet for walkers, cyclists and golfers. Mountain golf courses offer something a little bit special – fabulous views, clean crisp air and some challenging terrain. There are several golf courses to choose from within an easy drive of Chalet K1027, including the Mont-d’Arbois course at Megève, and the famous Chamonix course.

There are 80km of walking trails around Cordon itself, taking in waterfalls, farms and lush green pastures. The further you go, the more there is to discover, with more hiking at nearby Sallanches, Combloux, Megève, and Chamonix.

If you’re looking for adventure, why not try canyoning, rafting or hydrospeeding? More gentle water activities are available, with swimming lakes at Combloux, Flumet and Sallanches, where three lakes offer the choice of swimming, fishing and wind-surfing.

Cyclists can follow in the tracks of the Tour de France or choose from vertiginous mountain descents. The village is on a marked cycling trail and the Cordon climb is well-known.

Summer or winter, you can get a whole new perspective on the mountains from the air. Hot air ballooning, hang-gliding or a helicopter flight – the choice is yours. Whichever you choose, you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.
