Property location – Manigod / Col de la Croix Fry

Located in the highly sought-after Croix Fry area, close to the Plateau de Beauregard, this apartment enjoys a prime location at the heart of the Aravis massif. It's just a few minutes' walk from the Manigod–La Clusaz Nordic and alpine ski areas (125 km of slopes), with easy access to Geneva (1h15), Annecy (45 min), Thônes (15 min) and La Clusaz (10 min). In high season, a free shuttle easily connects the various Aravis resorts as far as Grand Bornand (90 km of slopes).

Surroundings

The area offers a calm, green and family-friendly setting. The Col de la Croix Fry resort is booming, with the construction of an MGM residence (300 beds) and new businesses such as the fine-food shop La Casa or Valet Mont, along with ski rental shops and several well-known restaurants, including one now run by the daughter of chef Marc Veyrat. Connected to the La Clusaz ski area, Col de la Croix Fry offers near ski-in/ski-out access in winter (400 metres from the slopes) and is an ideal starting point for summer hiking. Local shops, a spa and seasonal restaurants are all just a short walk away. A small Sherpa supermarket is located on the other side of the resort at Merdassier. Larger supermarkets are in Thônes.

Access and transport

The residence has free, barrier-secured parking. A shuttle runs in high season between Manigod, Thônes and La Clusaz. The nearest train stations are in Annecy (55 min), Bellegarde and Chambéry (about 1h), while Geneva, Chambéry and Lyon airports are between 1h15 and 1h50 away by car.

Activities and appeal

Manigod is an authentic village nestled in the Aravis mountains, appreciated for its unspoiled scenery and wide range of outdoor activities. In summer, visitors enjoy numerous walks and hikes, mountain biking, summer sledging, paragliding, climbing and canyoning, as well as swimming in Lake Annecy. In winter, the ski slopes are accessible on foot, along with snowshoe trails, Nordic skiing on the Plateau de Beauregard, and family activities such as sledging or dog-sledding.

The area also hosts major events such as the Tour de France, the La Clusaz Yoga Festival, the Fête du Lac d'Annecy, and the "Au Bonheur des Mômes" festival in Grand-Bornand.

a pied-à-terre at the heart of the Aravis;

a living room with kitchen area of 12.53 sqm;
a balcony of 3.92 sqm;

A layout proposal with two fold-away beds in the entrance hall would optimise sleeping capacity while preserving the living space when the beds are folded up.

Rental potential
