About Chalet Le Petit Mazot ...
This 4-star chalet is a real find for a family or two couples wanting their own tranquil space not too far from all the action.
Sleeping four people, it’s rare to find such a delightful private property for a small party. Not only do you have your own detached chalet, but there is also a delightful outdoor seating area which is perfect for catching the last of the sunshine.
The location is perfect too - right opposite the Nant-Bossonet button lift yet on a quiet road, just a few minutes walk from the popular village of La Clusaz, where you’ll find a great choice of restaurants, bars and shops.
Le Petit Mazot means the little shed, and although that is how this chalet started its life, it has now been extended and transformed into a warm and welcoming home which makes an ideal base for a holiday in the beautiful Aravis mountains.
The property ...
The picture-perfect Chalet Le Petit Mazot is the ideal choice for a family or small group of friends looking for their own place in the mountains.
It sleeps four persons in two double bedrooms. The cosy sitting room has a flat-screen television and DVD player. Unique artwork and design details make this a very special place to stay.
The modern kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped, with every item you’d expect to find, as well some you wouldn’t, such as a grill stone! There’s a also a separate laundry with a washing machine and tumble-drier.
Outside there’s a delightful shaded seating area, perfect for relaxing on a hot summer night, and a brick-built barbecue.
About the area ...
Skiers of all abilities can ski almost to the door of this convenient La Clusaz chalet.
There’s a ski lift and a ski-bus stop just 100m away, and the Aravis ski pass gives you access to 220km of pristine pistes, with something for all abilities - the weekly flood-lit descent in La Clusaz is a must!
The local ESF ski school holds lessons for beginnners on the piste close to the chalet, and cross-country skiers will find great terrain at Lac des Confin and the Glieres plateau, just a short drive away.
Non-skiers will have no time to be bored either, with an ice-skating rink and cinema in La Clusaz, as well as sledging, snow-shoe walking, dog-sledding and sleigh rides. If you’re looking for the ultimate in relaxation, let your cares float away in the heated outdoor pool at La Clusaz, while the snow falls gently around you.
In the summer, the shady terrace at Chalet Le Petit Mazot is the perfect place to while away a sunny day, but there’s so much to do in the La Clusaz area, you’ll wish you’d booked for longer.
Walking or biking in the mountains is a pleasure, and all the hard work is done for you if you take the ski lift to the top and bike or walk down at your own pace - pick up a map of trails at the tourist office in La Clusaz.
Adrenalin junkies can try paragliding, canyoning, climbing, mountain-biking or white-water rafting. Via ferrata is a great family day out, with children as young as eight able to explore the mountains safely on iron walkways, secured to a harness.
The beautiful medieval town of Annecy is less than 30 minutes drive away. There are several excellent golf courses and the lake, the cleanest in Europe, is a great place for swimming and water sports, or just hire a boat and explore some of the peaceful lakeside beaches.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Le Petit Mazot is a beautiful two-storey chalet for four guests, with two bedrooms and a bathroom.
It's in a great location, in a quiet road near the lift and just a short walk from the centre of La Clusaz.
Developed from a former storage building, it's now a really well-appointed chalet, with a cosy living room and a good-sized kitchen/dining area, as well as a separated laundry room.
The two double bedrooms share a shower room.
There's a surprising amount of outside space at this well-designed chalet, with a large balcony on the first floor and several seating areas on the ground floor, including a dining area and a beautiful terrace just off the living room with built-in seating.

From the owner
Ludovic
“A “Mazot” was originally a type of small Savoyard shed built on agricultural land - this particular one was only 16m2!
Traditionally, mazots weren’t used as living spaces but as safe places to store the family’s precious goods and belongings such as cereals, the harvest, seeds for the coming year, Sunday best clothing and shoes, paperwork etc. Mazots were always located a distance away from the main building to keep them safe from the risk of fire.
The mazot which became the chalet “Petit Mazot” was built in 1851 by a man named François Clavel. 100 years later it was transferred onto a concrete base measuring 5m x 6m in order to provide solid foundations before it was turned into a proper house.
Today Le Petit Mazot is still owned by my family.
For a few years now we’ve been rebuilding it; we’ve enlarged it and refurbished it to turn it into a cosy and unique pretty mountain chalet with thoroughly modern equipment.

“Tranquil mountain retreat near town”
We spent a week and went on beautiful hikes in the outskirts of Aravis. The chalet is close to the city center, we can walk there. The place is very quiet.
“We'll remember this place”
A chalet faithful to its online description. Pleasant, clean, and welcoming. The OVO Network experience was very positive overall.
“A cosy chalet getaway”
We had a wonderful stay in this cosy chalet. It is very well located, super friendly, and well arranged. The OVO Network website is very well organised, with professional management of bookings and a clear presentation of properties.
