OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked high-end properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Eteila is an OVO Network partner property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Chalet Eteila is a three-storey detached chalet for 14, with five bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. It also has a wealth of other facilities, including a cinema room, a sauna, steam room and an outside hot tub It's in an idyllic location, on a private road above the village of Combloux. There is another chalet close by, but there's nothing to interrupt the breathtaking view of the forest and Mont Blanc mountains. Despite this tranquil setting, you'll be just 900m from the ski lifts, 3,5 km from the bars, shops and restaurants of Combloux and 6.5km from the centre of Megeve. There are four double bedrooms at Chalet Eteila, all with their own bath/shower rooms. The living area is on the top floor, with a cosy seating area, a fireplace and TV. There are two sets of double doors to a large, L-shaped terrace where you can soak in the hot tub or enjoy a meal in the fresh mountain air - a plancha grill takes the work out of outdoor cooking.. There's another terrace on the ground floor with more seating. The quiet location of Chalet Eteila means that access along a gravel track could be difficult, particularly in winter - make sure your cars are equipped with snow tyres or chains. There's plenty of parking outside the chalet, as well as a car charger for electric cars. WIFI, cleaning, towels & linen included.

Nearby Combloux, Megève, and Saint-Gervais are part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, and it's a 30-minute drive to the Espace Diamant, which comprises Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Volant, Flumet, and Saisies. This area played host to the winter Olympics in 1992. Experienced skiers looking for some stunning night skiing should head for the Vallée Blanche - do hire a guide for this 23km run which, with a 2,000m drop, will take you from the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace, an almost surreal experience under a full moon. For a change from skiing, why not try dog-sledding or snow-shoe walking, which are both available within a short drive of Chalet Eteila. Those looking for a little more adventure can try ice-climbing, via ferrata or paragliding. In the summer, the mountains become the domain of walkers and cyclists. There's so much to see in this varied landscape - explore the Argentière glacier or perhaps the Baroque footpath, a 20km trail from Combloux to Les Contamines-Montjoie, which takes you past some of the area's finest baroque buildings. Look out for marmots along the way! Fancy a swim? Head for Lac de Passy where you can relax in the pure waters fed by mountain streams surrounded by wildflowers and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Take a picnic and relax while the kids enjoy the great play area. There's also a treetop adventure course, pedalos and mini-golf as well as windsurfing, paddle boarding and fishing - it's a great family day out.
