Spacious genuine 3 double bed apartment that can sleep 8 comfortably. Situated just 5 mins drive from the ski lifts of Les Arcs/La Plagne, one of the biggest ski resorts in Europe. The apartment is part of an old farmhouse, nestled at the top of an authentic farming village. There are beautiful views in all directions, its peaceful and away from the hordes in the resorts. Val d’Isere/Tignes and the Three Valleys plus a number of smaller resorts are also within easy reach and the town of Bourg St Maurice is just 5 minutes from the village. There's plenty of restaurants and bars, 3 supermarkets and a wonderful pedestrian high street with lots of more traditional french shops. The apartment is available year round and is fantastically situated for enjoyment of all summer activities as well. There's a lake beach and a golf course. The old towns of Albertville, Chambery, Annecy, Aix Les Bains and more make wonderful excursions.

The apartment has 3 genuine bedrooms. The apartment is 100sqm, not like the normal shoe boxes you find in the French Alpes. It's very comfortable and cosy with more than enough space for children. It is set in a tranquil and authentic village with the balcony overlooking the valley and facing Les Arcs. Nothing but the mountains extend from the back of the houseexcursions.

Skiing
The apartment is just 5 mins drive from the funicular railway that whisks you up to Les Arcs in 7 mins. Les Arcs has recently been linked to the resort of La Plagne by the biggest and fastest cable car in the world, the Vanoise Express, which can carry 200 people and takes less than 4 minutes. Together they make one of the largest ski resorts in the world with upwards of 400km of pistes.

Being situated in the valley, you are within easy reach of numerous other ski resorts: Val d’Isere/Tignes - 30 mins drive. The Three Valleys - 40 mins. Rosiere (and La Thuile in Italy) and St Foy - 30 mins. Its perfect for those that want a little variety and like to explore.
