Abondance
Not all of us ski and some groups or families include those who don’t want to ski, or snowboard. So what else is there to do. Well of course you can enjoy the luxury of the chalet. There is the very fine kitchen in which you can develop your culinary skills. Or relax in the lounge in front of the log fire and catch up on your reading.
If you feel more active there are many walks to explore straight outside the chalet. If the snow is deeper you can hire snowshoes and follow one of the many trails.
If you feel like a spa experience the Forme d’O is a superb facility in Chatel with saunas, pools, steam rooms and relaxing rooms.
For interest you can visit the Abbey and the Maison du val in Abondance. If you like cheese you can visit one of the local farms.
Further afield Thonon le Bains is well worth a visit for its shopping and lake side, as is Evian.
