The Manigod motorhome area
Presentation
Your base camp in the heart of the Aravis!
What if your next motorhome getaway took you to the heart of an authentic mountain setting?
Located at the Col de Merdassier at an altitude of 1,500 meters, the Manigod motorhome park welcomes you year-round to an exceptional natural environment facing the peaks of the Aravis range.
With its 16 pitches, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the area at your own pace, in both summer and winter.
A stay right in the heart of the mountains
Wake up facing alpine pastures, enjoy breakfast with the mountains as your backdrop, and set off directly to explore the region.
Many activities are accessible on foot from the park. There is no need to get back behind the wheel to make the most of your stay: shops, restaurants, hiking trails, a swimming pool, a fun nature trail, ski lifts, and equipment rental shops are all just minutes away.
This proximity allows for a more relaxed holiday while minimizing the need for driving.
A destination to enjoy in summer and winter alike
Whatever the season, the Col de Merdassier offers a wide range of activities.
The park is an excellent starting point for discovering the finest hiking routes in the Aravis: the Beauregard Plateau, the Tour de l'Andran, Lac du Charvin, or the summits of L'Étale and Pointe de Merdassier.
Mountain biking and e-biking enthusiasts can take advantage of numerous marked trails, while families will appreciate the swimming pool, the Tête de Cabeau fun trail, mountain karts, and the many activities organized throughout the summer.
When snow blankets the alpine pastures, the park becomes the perfect starting point for accessing ski slopes, snowshoeing routes, and the Nordic area on the Beauregard Plateau. Connected to the Manigod and La Clusaz ski areas, the resort offers access to a vast playground while allowing you to return each evening to the peace and friendly atmosphere of the Col de Merdassier.
A vibrant mountain community
A stay in Manigod is also an opportunity to discover a valley where mountain farming remains a thriving part of life.
As you explore, take the time to meet local producers, visit a farm, taste farmhouse Reblochon (AOP) or the famous Manigodine cheese, and discover the traditional skills that have shaped the landscape for generations.
By buying local, you directly support a vibrant agricultural sector that maintains the alpine pastures and preserves biodiversity.
The Ferme de l'Etale, located just behind the motorhome area, is the perfect place to shop during your stay or to pick up local products to take home.
In Manigod, taking your time is a philosophy that truly comes into its own. Once you’ve settled in, leave your vehicle parked and enjoy the many services within walking distance. Walking to a restaurant, setting off on a hike right from your spot, or exploring the shops at the pass helps minimize travel and allows you to fully experience mountain life.
This approach aligns with Manigod’s commitment to "Destination of Excellence" status, promoting tourism that respects the landscape, local residents, and natural resources.
A few simple steps to preserve this exceptional setting
Because the mountain environment is fragile, everyone can play a part in preserving it:
- opt to walk once you have arrived;
- stay on marked trails while hiking;
- respect agricultural areas and close gates behind you;
- take your trash with you and use the available recycling points;
- support local shops, producers, and restaurants.
Located just 35 minutes from Annecy, the Manigod motorhome area offers far more than just a place to park. It serves as a gateway to an authentic, welcoming, and unspoiled mountain setting, where every day invites you to discover the landscapes, flavors, and encounters that make the Aravis region so rich and rewarding.
