The house sleeps 12 (plus we can squeeze in a cot for a baby or a spare bed for a child).  There are a mixture of traditional mountain and other beds (we have 3 double beds, 2 twins (or, by arrangement, 2 double beds and 3 twins)  and a bunk room for 2, each with feather duvets, all with their own contemporary bathrooms except the bunk room which shares with another bedroom as a family unit.

Even when it is cold outside, the house should keep you warm:- there is a spectacular open fire in the middle of the huge 80 sq metre (900 sq foot) main room and dining area on the top floor, a very efficient wood burning stove in the middle of the house and electric radiators throughout.

In the main room, you have sensational views from every window, four or five areas to sit down in to relax, read, play games, eat or watch the television. There are cradles full of magazines, an old sledge as a coffee table, an original hand-operated threshing machine, fur rugs, books, board games including Monopoly and Risk, Lego, Brio, and a TV with both French and English channels delivered by satellite. There is a large collection of DVDs and videos for all ages. There is a table de bergere to hold the glasses for after dinner drinks.

When you ski out of the door, you find a magical mountain-side of excellent skiing for people of all abilities. Red, blue, green and black runs – including one of the steepest in Europe. It is a very good area for off-piste skiing, too. There are wonderful scenic routes into deserted valleys with little chapels. Non skiers don’t feel isolated because the runs go past the house. From the location page and photos you will see what a convenient and idyllic situation it is.

Blue Room

One evening a week (Tuesdays from January to the end of March) the lift outside our house stays open, so you can have wonderful floodlit skiing or ski down to one of the typical Savoyard restaurants and get back easily on what is the staff’s day off.

You can find out about availability and prices by looking here.  You will probably have questions.  Do give Veroni a call on + 44 1235 833 643 if you want to know more.
