The village - the resort
La Giettaz en Aravis
La Giettaz (pronounced La Giette by the locals) is a typical Savoyard village nestling on the edge of the Aravis pass, on the border between Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Voted the most beautiful village in Savoie in May 2023, this secret gem forms a link between the Aravis mountains and the Val d'Arly. The hamlet of Le Plan is home to a ski resort linked to the Portes du Mont Blanc ski area (La Giettaz - Combloux - Megève Jaillet). Its neighbouring villages are La Clusaz on the other side of the pass (20 minutes‘ drive) and Praz-sur-Arly and Megève (20 and 25 minutes’ drive respectively). Chalet Philomena is perfectly situated in the hamlet of Plan de La Giettaz, 1 km from the chairlift and opposite the La Tréffléannaise ski run and the many hiking trails leading to the Col du Jaillet, the Croisse Baulet, Christomet and Torraz peaks. The proximity of the resorts of La Clusaz, Notre Dame de Bellecombe and Les Saisies also means you can enjoy a variety of activities in both winter and summer, because when the snow melts, it gives way to a fabulous playground for cyclists and hikers! Finally, you're only an hour's drive from the magnificent town of Annecy and its lake, and an hour and fifteen minutes from Chamonix.
Activities
In winter, you will enjoy a wonderful ski chalet nestled between the Petit and Grand Croisse Baulet and Torraz mounts , located in the ski area of Les Portes du Mont Blanc on the edge of the track. You will be able to admire the skiers evolving on the large blue run which snakes in front of the chalet. During the other seasons, the snow gives way to outdoor activities. In spring or summer, you enjoy hiking or cycling trails that start directly at the foot of the property, no need to take the car. In autumn, the rutting roar of the deers and the shimmering colors of Indian summer will be the unmissable rendezvous for nature lovers!
