With dual-aspect mountain views, a balcony, and a generous living area, it blends Alpine charm with everyday comfort. A private garage, cellar, and access to an unusually large ski-locker room add convenience rarely found this close to the lifts.
Just moments from shops, restaurants, hiking trails, village amenities and two main chairlifts, it offers an enjoyable lifestyle in every season. Ideal for holidays, extended stays, or year-round living, it combines Alpine tranquillity with quick access to the valley, Lake Annecy, and Geneva.
This inviting three-bedroom duplex of 83.88 m² Loi Carrez (86.42 m² total floor area) offers an exceptional opportunity to own a light-filled Alpine home in the heart of Chinaillon, within the Massif des Aravis. With direct pedestrian access to the village and near-instant access to the pistes, it combines everyday comfort with true mountain convenience.
The main level features a bright living room and kitchen opening onto a south-facing balcony with panoramic views of the Aravis peaks. A bedroom, bathroom and WC complete this floor. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a second bathroom and a landing area provide flexible sleeping and relaxation space for families and guests.
Practicality is a key strength: the property includes a private underground garage, an independent cellar and access to an unusually large ski-locker room. Well maintained and in good overall condition, it requires no immediate work and can be enjoyed from day one.
Perfectly located in the village centre, the residence benefits from exceptional dual access: one entrance opens directly onto the high street with its bakeries, shops, restaurants and essential services, while the other leads almost directly to the pistes, with the Châtelet and Floria chairlifts less than one minute’s walk in ski boots.
Chinaillon offers outstanding skiing and a welcoming year-round community. Le Grand-Bornand, Saint-Jean-de-Sixt and Thônes are only minutes away, with easy reach of Lake Annecy (around 35 minutes) and Geneva (about 70 minutes), making international travel and everyday living both practical and appealing.
Whether you are searching for an Alpine home, a comfortable retreat or a high-performing rental investment, this duplex represents a rare and valuable opportunity in one of the Aravis’ most desirable settings.

In the Haute-Savoie, between Annecy and the Mont Blanc Massif is the beautiful Massif des Aravis. Tucked away here you’ll find a less well known ski area named after the mountain range. It is very beautiful, interesting and traditional.
It brings together the 4 ski resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand-Bornand, Manigod et Saint-Jean de Sixt which offer Alpine skiing (downhill)and Nordique skiing alongside a whole host of other activities. There are 220kms of piste across the 4 resorts, 2 snow-parks, 1 half pipe of 130m. There are also 150kms of nordic skiing including the Confins plateau, which is an official site for the World Cup. Plus 26 routes for racket walking (snow shoes). At Le Grand-Bornand you’ll find the GB snow-park which is classed among the five best in France. In addition there are 2 ice rinks and an aqua centre.
Each of the four resorts have charm and retain their traditions with original architecture and a village feel, these are after all villages turned ski resort and not purpose built. There is agriculture in the area which works alongside the ski resorts retaining a very authentic feel and they work hard to preserve the mountain nature of all the resorts.
This is also a hugely popular destination for summer. All four resorts aim themselves firmly at the family market and succeed very well with this, but over the last few years a new trend has developed aimed at the rich and famous who value privacy and peace above glamour and glitz on their ski holiday this is most noticeable at La Clusaz and Grand Bornard who are member of “Top of the French Alps” a group aiming for excellence.
Le Grand Bornand is a large resort with 38 lifts offering 494 acres of terrain over 47 pistes and 1100 metres of vertical descent. Le Grand Bornand is best suited to beginner skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for both expert and intermediates.
There are 58km of cross country ski trails and for snowboarders, there is a terrain park and a half pipe. A small proportion of the pistes at Le Grand Bornand are covered by snowmaking.
