Chalet “Les Clarines” is a spacious, pretty, traditional alpine chalet offering excellent self-catering accommodation in a beautiful village environment.
It is only thirty-five minutes drive from Geneva airport and is in fabulous location for holidays at any time of year. Whether it be for picturesque winter skiing or wonderful summer breaks for families or groups of friends, there are a wide range of activities available in the area throughout the year.
Although the valley in which Onnion is situated is easily accessible it remains unspoiled. It is less well known to the English compared to neighbouring villages such as Les Gets and Morzine and is a hidden gem. The village is nestled at the foot of the "Pointe des Brasses" and enjoys the most idyllic views of the Mont Blanc and the surrounding Alps.
The Chalet sleeps up to ten people, is set out over three floors, is fully equipped and has electric heating as well as a cosy log burning fire in the lounge.
