About this property
Magnificent old traditional chalet renovated recently with extreme charm
The comfort of a recent renovation (in 2009) with all the charm of the traditional Grand Bornand chalet(built in 1737), and a magnificent decoration give to "La Ruche" an extremely warm character.
Traditionnaly used by the owners, it benefits from all the characteristics destinated to our own comfort and not the ones only for rental (high range equipment, games, numerous DVDs, cartoons, books, Nespresso coffee machine, Bose Ipod Soundock etc...).
Located close to the great Grand Bornand slopes (access in 2 minutes with the free "skibus" shuttle), it will make you appreciate after ski as much as ski itself, especially around a nice large chimney fire.
South west orientation to take full adavantage of the balconies and of the view on the slopes and the Aravis.
It is ideally organised for 2 or 3 families with independent playroom and TV room from the salon and dining room.
It is also great in the summer with exceptional green moutain environment and lots of activities.
