Manigod - Domaine des Aravis (74) Domaine des Aravis (74)

Manigod is an authentic and peaceful mountain village, nestled in the sublime setting of the Aravis range, just 35 minutes from Annecy, its crystal clear lake, and its picturesque old town.
The village is made up of large traditional buildings and chalets clinging to the mountainside, which gives it a certain charm. The panorama is breathtaking, between green mountain pastures in summer and immaculate expanses covered with fir trees in winter.
 
Manigod, a confidential pearl located just a few bends from the bustling La Clusaz, offers a real contemplative and rejuvenating breath. Manigod is home to some lovely addresses, such as Lo Garajo, a former garage transformed into a trendy concept store, where Angèle offers a selection of design objects and refined local crafts.
 
For a coffee break, a creative workshop or a small gift, there is always a good reason to stop there. The village is also the stronghold of the Veyrat family who cultivate the art of hosting at the top at La Maison des Bois, just taken over by the daughter of the chef with the hat, or at the Chalets de La Croix Fry, run by his niece, both references in the valley.
 
With 27 farms, Manigod is also the cradle of farmhouse Reblochon. A visit to the Paccard maturation cellars - which provide the best restaurants in the region, including some starred restaurants - is a must. Finally, no stay in Manigod in winter without testing your balance on the paret, a wooden sled with a single runner once used by children to get to school. A
championship of the discipline brings together many fans every winter in a joyful atmosphere.
