Whatever the season, La Clusaz has something for everyone. You'll enjoy first-class skiing in the winter – this chalet is only 100 meters from the slopes – while summertime offers excellent hiking trails through the French Alps. Back home, sweeping views of the snow-capped peaks await. A Nordic hot tub makes a fantastic spot to warm up after your adventures – as does the ceramic woodburner and hammam inside – while the terrace and balcony are ideal for barbecues in the sunshine. Indoors, pine panelling and wooden furniture made by local craftsmen ooze Alpine cosiness. It can sleep a maximum of eight adults, so we think it's a great fit for families.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps twelve guests, with a maximum of eight adults. The bunk beds are only for children. The single beds can be made into a double if needed.
*You'll need a car in this area – just note that snow chains or snow tyres are required between December and April. Three on-site parking spots are available.
*Given the two-floor layout, this home may not be suitable for guests who struggle with stairs.
*Your host can provide a high chair, cot, baby bath, changing table, and stair gates upon request.
*The lounge's chimney is out of service, but an ethanol fire has been installed in the fireplace. There's also a ceramic wood burner on the ground floor.
