The apartments are totally self contained and located in the main chalet, the slopes are easily accessible by ski, foot or free shuttle bus. Valmeinier centre and its facilities can be reached in 2 min via the free shuttle bus or 15 mins by foot. The Inversins quad chair and piste to the 6 man Grandes Drozes chair are close by and it's possible to ski back very close to the chalet at the end of the day. The living and dining areas in both apartments are comfortable and furnished with traditional alpine furniture in keeping with both the chalet and surrounding area. The apartments benefit from spectacular views across the valley and are situated at 1700m in altitude. There is a bathroom and toilet in apartment 2. The living and dining area is on the ground level benefiting from underfloor heating, all other rooms having central heating. There are two bedrooms and a mezzanine level as well.
Both apartments are well maintained by ourselves and are bigger than the usual!
Bedroom 1, ground floor with double bed & built in wardrobes.
Bedroom 2 on1st floor with twin beds & built in wardrobes.
Mezzanine level: Single bed
Shower room on ground floor with wash basin and heated towel rails.
Well equipped kitchen with electric hob, microwave oven/grill, fridge, dishwasher along with a full set of cooking and eating utensils.
Living Rooms: Living room includes sofa and chairs along with a selection of cushions and dining table. The living area also has a TV & DVD player.
Skiing: The Valmeinier/Valloire ski area has 150km of pistes to offer with resorts being linked and easily accessible from the apartment. Heavy investment in new chairlifts over the past few years has made this even quicker than before. The skiing is suited to all with lots of good cruising runs along with more challenging and off piste opportunities for those that seek it. Seventy percent of the ski area is located above 2000 meters and all lower slopes are covered by snow cannons just in case.
Walk 150 metres up the road and you can ski to the Inversins chair lift and piste allowing you easy access to Valmeinier or Valloire via high speed 4 and 6 seater chairs. The pistes are very well maintained in the area and lift queues are rarely a problem here as the resort is small in comparison to the size of the ski area.
For those wishing to have access to even more skiing there is Val Thorens accessible via Orelle in around 20-25 minutes by car.
Cycling: The apartments are ideally situated for cyclists being 10KM from the summit of the Col du Telegraph. Many of the mountain Col's used in the Tour de France can be accessed from our location, Galibier, Alp D'Huez, Glandon, Crox de Fer, Col D'liserian to name but a few.
Our garage provides suitable storage for bikes and limited maintenance equipment is available (Stand, basic tools, pumps, etc...) During the summer months we are able to provide more flexibility around our accommodation schedule so rule nothing out!
Mountain Bike: Valloire/Valmeinier has good lift served downhill mountain bike trails along with some cross country options. If you feel adventurous you can do both as it's possible to cycle to Valloire on a mountain bike via marked trails and then take the gondola to the top of some downhill trails!
