A cozy chalet in Auvergne complimented by a range of winter sports
Because Auvergne is a largely mountainous region, it makes a great winter playground for those looking to escape the doldrums of an otherwise long and seemingly never-ending season. Warm up to some adventure with a glass of brandy and one of Bungalow.Net's cozy chalets in Auvergne! Enjoy downhill skiing at the top-notch resort of Super Besse, situated on the Puy de Sancy, the highest point in central France. With plenty of snowfall in winter, you will not run short of options for cross-country skiing either. For a bit of relaxation visit the small spa resort of Chaudes-Aigues, with 30 natural hot water sources and the ruins of a 15th century castle, Chateau de Couffour. Near the village of Laveissiere in the Cantal department you can go ice climbing but you will also find opportunities nearby for sledding, tobogganing, dog sled trips and snow-shoe hikes. Of course, you can always just hang around the chalet and enjoy a good snowball fight!
Travel back in time with a historic chalet in Auvergne
Although to many people the Auvergne region of France conjers up images of unending wilderness, it has served as the stage for world events for centuries. Even from a distance the dark spires of the Gothic Clermont-Ferrand cathedral remind visitors of a glorious past. From one of our enchanting chalets in Auvergne you can visit this famous landmark along with a host of other well-preserved Romanesque churches plus awe-inspiring castles like Chateau Val on Lac de Bort or Chateau La Batisse in Saint-Amant-Tallende. The latter houses a collection of paintings by Jean de Chasteauneuf, uncle of the current owners, plus offers medieval workshops to help you relive life during the Middle Ages. There are also festivals like the "Bird King" renaissance festival in the streets of Le Puy en Velay (September) and the World Cultures and Traditions Festival in Gannat in July. Spend the day in Vichy, once the defacto capital of Marshal Petain's France, or visit the Museum of the Resistance located near Saint Flour. For something more up to date, Clermont-Ferrand plays host every year to the internationally famous short-film festival, Festival du Court Metrage. Come, and let Auvergne be the stage for your next holiday!
