Located in the middle of the forest, but 10 minutes from the beaches and shops of Talloires, this chalet offers a unique experience. In the heart of nature, without any neighbors, you can enjoy the calm and the view of the mountains overlooking Annecy Lake...

The chalet is located on a 7000 m2 plot of land in the middle of the forest, facing south, which allows you to enjoy the beautiful sunny days. It is served by a gravel road of 2km, very practicable by car, followed by an easy pedestrian path of about 40 meters. This road is not authorized for traffic and its use is reserved for residents and foresters. The chalet is located at an altitude of 920 m; therefore, it is rare to have a lot of snow hindering access. If this happens, we provide a 4×4 vehicle to drive the kilometer to the chalet.
Nature lovers will appreciate the outdoor Nordic bath, which offers a unique view of the forest and the surrounding mountains. The outdoor space also has a campfire and a real pizza oven: change of scenery and conviviality guaranteed. Le Banc du Cerf is an authentic wooden chalet, with a rustic and cozy spirit. Come and enjoy a hot chocolate by the fireplace!
The chalet allows access to the most beautiful hikes around the lake: Aulp Chalet, Col de la Forclaz, Dent de Lanfon, Angon Cascade or La Tournette. The sporty ones will be able to practice paragliding at Planfait and at the Forclaz pass, accrobranching (forest course at 3 km) or canyoning nearby. The more peaceful will enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the lake at the Forclaz pass (2 km), while tasting a raclette on the restaurants terrace.
